What is the FocusPod Outdoor Edge™?
+
FocusPod Outdoor Edge™ is a compact, prefab outdoor office pod designed for Australian conditions. External size is approximately 2150 mm (W) × 2150 mm (D) × 2350 mm (H), creating a private garden office space for 1–2 users.
How is the Outdoor Edge™ built for the weather?
+
Standard build includes a steel structure with carbon-fibre composite wall panels, broken-bridge aluminium framing and double-layer hollow glass curtain wall for thermal separation. Sealed joins, RV-style windows and weather detailing help manage rain and sun exposure. Install on a level base with correct drainage and use the anchoring points provided.
Is it soundproof?
+
It uses a sound-managed wall build and sealed glazing to reduce external noise and improve speech privacy for calls and focused work. Performance outdoors depends on background noise and pod placement.
What ventilation does it use?
+
A balanced, low-noise intake and exhaust system provides continuous fresh air while maintaining comfort. Fan airflow settings can be tuned during installation.
What power and lighting are included?
+
Pre-wired switch + socket set with AU outlets, USB-A/USB-C charging and efficient LED lighting. Use a licensed electrician for connection, RCD protection and any hard-wiring requirements.
Do I need a slab or can it sit on decking?
+
A flat, level base is required. A reinforced concrete slab is recommended; engineered decking may be suitable if it meets load, level and anchoring requirements. Ensure drainage falls away from the pod.
How is it assembled and how long does it take?
+
Panels arrive prefabricated for fast assembly. Typical install completes within a day by trained installers, subject to access, base readiness and options selected.
Does it require council approval?
+
Rules differ by council and intended use. Many customers place Outdoor Edge™ as a small backyard office pod, but please confirm local requirements for setbacks, services and allowable sizes before ordering.
Can I customise colours and fit-out?
+
Yes — exterior colours, glazing options, blinds, desk packages, data points and climate add-ons are available to create a custom outdoor office pod.
What warranty and support come with it?
+
Outdoor Edge™ includes a structural warranty and coverage for electrical components; full terms are supplied with your quote. Australia-wide delivery and installation support available.
