Question 1

How does delivery and setup work?

Accepted Answer

I bring the pod to your driveway, position and level it, then connect the gas, electricity, water, and waste. I run full safety checks and walk you through how everything works before I leave. Most setups take 30 - 45 minutes.

Question 2

What power, water, and waste connections do I need?

Accepted Answer

Your driveway must be within:
	•	25 metres of two standard 13A plug sockets
	•	25 metres of a garden hose connection

If you’re unsure, you can send a photo or arrange a quick site visit.
