Delivery & installation

From the factory to your garden.

Every pod is wrapped and shipped on its own flat rack, then lifted onto a base we have already built. Scroll to follow an H7 the whole way, from the factory yard to the lights coming on.

01 · At the factory

Wrapped and loaded

Each pod leaves the line finished. It is shrink-wrapped in protective film, netted and strapped to a 40 ft flat rack.

The range is too wide for a closed container, so every pod travels on its own hired flat rack.

02 · Shipping

At sea

The flat rack crosses on the deck of a container ship, on top of the stacks.

Typical lead time is 12 weeks, or 14 for the largest cabins.

03 · Into port

Onto the road

At the port the flat rack is lifted onto a low-loader for the road.

We deliver within 150 miles of Alton.

04 · Meanwhile, on site

The base

A free survey confirms where the pod is best placed, how it gets there and what it stands on.

While your pod is being made, you decide who lays its base: our construction contractors, or your own local ones. It's a slab or pinned pads, quoted separately from the pod.

Will your garden take one?

The survey answers that. It is free, carries no obligation, and you get a written access report and a groundworks quote whether or not you order with us.
