5 Things You Need to Know Before You Start Your Glamping Pod Design
Creating your very own glamping pod design or structure is an exciting project to take on. If you’re looking to create a stunning addition to your home with a beautiful garden glamping pod, treehouse or a unique summer house there are many ways you can go about it. However, there are some things that you need to know before you start your glamping pod design. From planning permission to style and measurements, there are a few considerations that need to be made before you start designing your glamping pod.
Planning Permission
More often than not you will need planning permission for your glamping pod. There are a few instances where planning permission isn’t required but it’s best to make sure before you start your glamping pod design to know if there are any restrictions for your structure. It would be a good idea to research planning permission applications in your local area before you begin to make sure you can actually build what you are hoping to design.
Sizing
While you could create a pod larger than the average house, it doesn’t mean you should. If you have the space to do that, then great! But you do have to make sure you have the space for the size of the pod that you are wanting to design, especially if you don’t want it to look cramped. Before you start your glamping pod design, measure the area you will be putting it in and evaluate what size pod would be best, of course you can always ask the experts. Considering size also comes in with the interior design. If you want the inside of your structure to be spacious and open but don’t have a large space for a large pod, then you may have to keep the interior finishings minimal. If you do have a smaller space, a smaller pod would obviously be more ideal. If you have a particularly large space then this isn’t something you need to consider as much.
Environment
Letting your imagination run wild is great fun and an excellent way to come up with a unique glamping pod design. However, if you want your pod to fit in with your surroundings and look like it was always meant to be there, then you will have to take into consideration whether or not the pod would look right where it is.
Budget
Your budget is an important aspect to keep checking in with and keeping in mind throughout the entire designing, building and running process. Each pod can total a variety of prices depending on the size, materials, build and much more. You, of course, need to make sure you can afford the build of the glamping design you have created but also keep up with the running costs throughout the years of use. The sky's the limit so don’t be afraid to add in the extra special touches that would make your glamping unique.
The Purpose
You can create a glamping pod for whatever reason you like, whether it’s to be a summer getaway or an extension on your house to have a space for some quiet relaxation. Whatever the reason, it’s good to know what the purpose of the pod is before you start the design process in order for it to serve its purpose well.
