Our short course goes through the build of a small dwelling using basic carpentry skills. Ecopods are used for glamping, garden rooms and extra rooms to a home. They are a small footprint and can be fitted out with all the necessary equipment to live in comfortably.
Buying a ready made ecopod is convenient and comes with a price tag to match, if you would like several or don’t have the budget to by off-the-shelf, our course may be for you.
The beauty of our course is you are learning the basic skills to create a wide range of designs. With the fundamentals that are easy to grasp and put to use, you can build your own designs and use any sound materials to hand to create a fantastic small home.
All materials used can easily be sourced and delivered from own builders merchant.
On the course we will be using new materials from a builder’s merchants, but you are in no way limited to this, in a world that is bursting at the seams with ‘stuff’ you can forage and gather the materials you need and create an ecopod on an exceptionally small budget.
