A garden pod is a compact, contemporary garden room, the perfect way to add extra space without a traditional brick and mortar home extension. If you’re running out of room indoors, a garden pod from Cabin Master offers a flexible, stylish solution right in your garden. Designed and manufactured in the UK, our modern, insulated garden pods allow you to create the extra functional space you need.
Each garden home pod is built for year-round use. With quick installation, flexible design options, and our expert team guiding you from concept to completion, your new pod is just a few steps away.
Our garden pods are designed to be as flexible as your lifestyle. Whether you’re working or relaxing, they offer a dedicated, comfortable space without the cost or hassle of a traditional home extension.
A garden office pod is perfect for remote workers as well as those looking to start a business at home. An office pod gives you a professional workspace with peace, comfort, and convenience.
With options like air source climate control and natural light from double-glazed doors and windows, your pod can be tailored to support productive, distraction-free working days.
Need extra accommodation? Our garden sleeping pods provide a warm, private, self-contained space - perfect for guests, older teens, or as a full-time annexe.
Guest or short-term use: Ideal for flexible sleeping space without the need for full planning permission in most cases.
Full-time annexes: If the pod will be used as permanent living accommodation, it counts as an annexe and will require the appropriate planning permission and building regulations compliance.
Our team can guide you through the options, regulations, and design choices to make sure your garden pod or annexe fits your needs safely and legally.
Turn your garden into a sanctuary. Use your pod as a reading room, art studio, yoga space, or hobby den.

Why choose us?
Most outdoor pods don't require planning permission as they fall under the 'outbuildings' category. However, you must comply with certain rules, including the overall size and height of your building. Most homes have permitted development rights for their land, but it’s a good idea to check for your specific home and area.
Key rules under permitted development include:
The general rules on garden pod sizes are as follows:
The quality you're looking for determines the price. DIY pods and flat-pack garden offices can be quite cheap, but they often end up being little more than glorified sheds. Instead, we specialise in buildings that you can use year-round, fully insulated, double-glazed, and built to last for years. When you compare the purchase price of our cabins to their lifespan, most people find that our buildings offer incredible value for money.
Garden room pods provide the perfect way to add space to your home without the expense, disruption, and long installation times of loft conversions and traditional extensions.
Yes - Cabin Master offers flexible finance options to help you spread the cost of your garden pod.
This depends on the size of the garden pod, but in many cases this can be done. Most small to medium-sized garden pods can be situated less than 1m from the boundary with any neighbours under permitted development rules when the overall height does not exceed 2.5m.
Home buyers often seek garden pods and home office pods as one of their most desired features.
Adding an outdoor pod creates an attractive feature that helps you achieve a higher asking price when you sell your home. Most estate agents agree that a garden pod increases the value of the property.
The cost of a garden pod varies depending on factors like size, materials, and design. Basic options are simpler structures with minimal insulation and finishes, while mid-range models offer better insulation, larger spaces, and higher-quality materials. High-end garden pods feature premium finishes, custom designs, and additional features such as electrical wiring, plumbing, and luxury fittings. The overall cost also depends on whether you opt for a pre-fabricated kit or hire professionals for installation.
Garden pods can be used for a wide variety of uses, such as home offices, studios, hobby spaces, and teenage dens. Each Cabin Master garden pod is designed to be versatile, comfortable, and fully insulated for year-round use.

Most garden pods and garden office pods don’t need planning permission, as they usually fall under the ‘outbuildings’ category of permitted development. However, your building must meet a few key criteria regarding size, height, and placement. While most homes have permitted development rights, it’s always worth checking the specific rules for your property and local area.
The garden building must be single-storey.
It must not cover more than 50% of your garden space (this includes any existing outbuildings and extensions).
You can’t place it in front of the main house—only behind or to the side.
If the building is within 2 metres of any boundary, it must be no taller than 2.5 metres.
At Cabin Master, we design our garden pods with these rules in mind, helping you create a compliant, stress-free space from day one.
