This 8ft x 12ft YardPod was designed and built for a Teacher in Berkeley, California. She wanted an office that maximized wall space while still providing good natural light.
We prefabricated this YardPod with five high-level Milgard aluminum awning windows and one glass-paneled steel door.
Foundations comprised six site-poured concrete foundations with a connecting treated wood beam system which took half a day to complete.
There are three floor panels each 4ft wide that were fabricated in our factory. They are filled with recycled denim insulation.
The wall panels are also 4ft wide and were prefabricated complete with windows and insulation.
Roof panels are similar to the floor panels but are 2ft and 3ft wide to minimize weight for lifting.
All panels could be lifted by two people.
The interior has unfinished high-quality plywood which will be stained or painted by the owner. Exterior wall finish is LP SmartSiding painted with the owners choice of color and the roof is our standard Duro-Last ‘Cool Roof” membrane with bronze metal fascia.
The floor panels were pre-wired (by our Licensed Electrical Contractor) with six double electrical outlets, optimized for workspace flexibility. The Electrical Contractor also added exterior wall outlets on site.
