What foundations does a garden room need?

A Pod Space garden building requires a strong, durable foundation to ensure precision installation and long-term stability. Typically, this involves a below-ground steel reinforced concrete base or engineered pads/piles, complete with drainage and a galvanised steel subframe with an air gap. This system prevents damp, allows airflow, and provides robust support. To guarantee accuracy, Pod Space supplies detailed setting-out drawings, enabling experienced builders or ground workers to prepare the foundations correctly before installation.

Every site is different so there's no “one-size-fits-all” solution. We recommend that groundworks are carried out by an experienced builder or ground worker, not just a fitting crew. Over the years we have successfully collaborated with hundreds of client-appointed contractors, supplying them with detailed setting-out drawings and working closely to ensure a flawless build.
