What Do I Need to Know Before I Start my Glamping Pod Design

Starting and creating a glamping pod design is an exciting venture for anyone. If you’re looking for a stunning addition to your glamping site it can be a thrilling experience. But before you start your bespoke glamping pod design there are a few important things you need to know. From planning permission to expenses, these are some things you should be considering before you start.  

Planning Permission Requirements

Most, if not all glamping pods, require planning permission from your local council. Before you start planning a glamping pod design, it would be wise to read up, or re-read, on planning permission requirements and regulations that would need to be met. You need to ensure your pod is legal and ticks all the boxes required in planning permission to be permitted to have your pod on your site. I’m sure the last thing you want is to create a beautiful, extravagant and unique glamping pod that is designed to absolute perfection, only to be told you are not permitted to have it because it doesn’t comply with local regulations. 

Sizes 

Before you start planning your glamping pod design it would be useful to get an idea of the size and the measurements of the space you are planning to put it, as well as a rough idea of how big you want your pod to be. You need to make sure what you are aiming to create is achievable and fits in the area you have and the size of the pod you are looking at creating. This is especially important if you are aiming to create a wonderful open space that doesn’t make the pod feel cramped and crowded. If you are wanting some large extravagant features, you need to make sure you have sufficient space to do so without overcrowding your glampsite.  

Will the Glamping Pod Fit in?

As a proud owner of a glamping site looking for a brand new pod for your camp, you will want it to feel like it was always meant to be there. If you are looking for an outstanding addition to your site, you need to be wary that if it looks too out of place it might seem wrong and potentially put visitors off from staying. Getting creative and imaginative is excellent and a great way to produce a unique, bespoke glamping pod but just remember to take into account the rest of your site and consider how it might look on it. Would the glamping pod blend seamlessly into its surroundings or would it look wrong and out of place? 

Potential Expenses

Glamping pods will, of course, come at a cost but you also need to prepare for future expenses regarding your glamping pod. If you can afford your addition of a bespoke glamping pod up front but have a difficult time being able to keep it around because of it’s running costs, you might be left with a pod you can no longer afford. Taking into account the possibilities of future expenses allows you to plan and prepare for them to avoid any unfortunate situations.
