The Portable Pod is a glass-walled cabin measuring 5,950mm x 3,000mm with 18m\u00b2 of usable floor area, insulated walls and roof, smart lighting, and power outlets included.<\/div><\/div><\/li>\n          <li class=\"fi\"><button class=\"fq\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"fn\">02<\/span><span class=\"ft\">How much does a portable cabin cost?<\/span><span class=\"fic\"><\/span><\/button><div class=\"fa\"><div class=\"fai\">The Portable Pod starts from $18,500 AUD for the standard single-pod kit, excluding transport. Delivery ranges from $400 in QLD to $7,500 for remote NT. A fully installed portable cabin with partner-builder assembly typically costs between $25,000 and $35,000 depending on your location and whether you add a bathroom fitout.<\/div><\/div><\/li>\n          <li class=\"fi\"><button class=\"fq\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"fn\">03<\/span><span class=\"ft\">Are used portable cabins worth it?<\/span><span class=\"fic\"><\/span><\/button><div class=\"fa\"><div class=\"fai\">Used cabins have a lower upfront cost but often carry hidden expenses: resealing, re-roofing, electrical inspection, and insulation retrofit are common requirements. After repairs, the total cost of a used cabin frequently approaches the price of a new Portable Pod, without the warranty, modern glass, or factory-fresh insulation. New is the better financial decision for most buyers with a horizon of three years or more.<\/div><\/div><\/li>\n          <li class=\"fi\"><button class=\"fq\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"fn\">04<\/span><span class=\"ft\">Can a portable cabin be lived in?<\/span><span class=\"fic\"><\/span><\/button><div class=\"fa\"><div class=\"fai\">Yes, with the right configuration. A Portable Pod with a bathroom fitout, kitchenette, and privacy-tinted glass can function as a habitable guest room or short-term accommodation. For permanent habitation as a secondary dwelling, the structure typically needs council approval as a Class 1a building. We supply the technical documentation to support that application.<\/div><\/div><\/li>\n          <li class=\"fi\"><button class=\"fq\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"fn\">05<\/span><span class=\"ft\">How long does a portable cabin last?<\/span><span class=\"fic\"><\/span><\/button><div class=\"fa\"><div class=\"fai\">The Portable Pod uses a galvanised steel chassis, double-laminated glass, and insulated composite panels, all materials with long design lives. With basic maintenance such as cleaning door seals and checking roof drainage, the pod should last 20 to 30 years or more. This is substantially longer than most fibreglass or low-grade steel cabins built with lighter-gauge components.<\/div><\/div><\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n  <section class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"w cta-g\">\n      <div>\n        <span style=\"font-family:'JetBrains Mono',monospace;font-size:11px;letter-spacing:0.14em;text-transform:uppercase;color:var(--v);opacity:0.55\">Get a Quote<\/span>\n        <h2>Compare the Portable Pod against any cabin on the market.<\/h2>\n        <p>Share your postcode and what you need the cabin for.
