Main Considerations for a Good Glamping Pod Design

When you are deciding to run a glamping site, what's the one thing you are going to need? glamping Pods of course! You can’t have a site without accommodation. When you are trying to decide what glamping pod design you want to go with you first need to know what actually makes a good design. It’s all well said and done just looking online and purchasing the first one you see, but what makes it the best design for YOU? Even if you already have purchased some glamping pods, it may be worth having a look at some of the main considerations you should take when looking for a good glamping pod design.

Materials - The backbone of a good design

Some may look at a design and fall in love with the way it looks, that can be an easy trap for you to fall into and you may be stuck with a design that really isn’t any good. Anyone can draw a beautiful design and show you well taken photos of a glamping pod, but what is it really made of? Your glamping pod materials are a big consideration when you are looking for a good design, you don’t want to invest money into a design, only for it to be blown down by a strong wind. When considering this, it’s worth doing some research on your prospective designers, having a look at the materials they use for their designs is a wise decision to make. Having a high quality interior and exterior is something your design needs, at Enchanted Creations, we mainly use timber for our designs because we know it will provide a strong, stable structure that has a rustic feel to it.

If you want to take this consideration further, the best glamping pod designs are sustainable. Using recycled timber is obviously a fantastic start, other sustainable materials within your design will make it long lasting and great for the environment. A win-win for you and your customers.

Will it fit? - check out your landscape

If you are at the stage of finding a good glamping pod design I'll assume that you already have your land ready for your pods. If not, this is a key consideration when starting a glamping business, so we advise that you go back and acquire your land first before moving on.

Now, you have your land and you are looking for a glamping pod design. A key consideration is to see if your design will actually fit the dimensions of your land. The first consideration to make in this regard is how raised is your land? If your glamping pod design has been made to be flat, and your land is not… There may be a problem. For this, a good glamping pod design would consider this and have raised foundations, meaning your design may be partly ‘off’ the ground. A practical solution that looks unique.

You should also consider the scope of your land and designs, creating a huge design that does not even fit your land is a big problem; you’re stuck with something that is too big and what’s worse, it might even breach your planning permission guidelines. 

How does it make you feel?

When you are looking at your design, whether it’s a drawing or the design in the flesh, there is a big consideration you shouldn’t ignore… How does the design make you feel? Your glamping pod design is made to create an atmosphere, an emotion, a feeling into your guests hearts and minds. 

Different designs will give a guest a different feeling that will last with them forever. So before you finalise your design, you must see how your design makes you feel. A good glamping pod design will consider what it wants to give back to its guests, whether it's a romantic emotion or a feeling that makes a family talk about your design for years. At Enchanted Creations, our bespoke glamping designs are created to be entirely unique and this consideration is always at the forefront of our designs.
