Metal Frame Construction Light Gauge Steel Frame
Each Pod that leaves our factory is built with a Metal Frame Construction Light Gauge Steel frame – not timber. This has several benefits, most importantly the steel won’t rot, twist or crack as timber is liable to.
Garden Room Pods from The Pod Factory are built to withstand the elements and to last a lifetime.
Modular Method
Built Offsite
LGS aides us in using the modular method while constructing the Pods. Being able to build offsite causes little to no disruption of the site, whether that be the garden of a family home or an empty field.
Light gauge steel is robust and strong, because we have manufactured the Pods in this system, it allows the Pods to be lifted into position easily on site.
Benefits of Metal Frame Pods
Versatility & Long Spans
- Steel is 100% accurate unlike timber
Long Spans, Opens Spaces
- Steel is cost effective because of speed of construction and less trades are needed
Won’t Rot, Twist or Crack
- Unlike timber steel does not rot twist or crack it is galvanized and has a long life span
Modular Method
- Pre-fabricated indoors – so there is no time loss to weather
Environmental
- 75% of steel used in light gauge steel houses is recycled
Weight to Strength Ratio
- It takes a lot less to achieve your building design
BER Rated
- High BER rating achieved
Air Tightness
- Easily achieved with a steel framed system
U Value
- Highest U values easily achieved with steel framed systems
