Backyard Pods

Backyard Pods are a great way to add that extra room without extending.

Dec 2025.

PP Mini Homes is releasing a new model created to meet a growing demand for a single, additional room in the back garden - a room that could be used for work, relaxation, or indeed the occasional guest.

With a strong design focus including dramatic exposed rafters, a warm interior palette, clever layout of space, and easy flow with the outdoor deck, the model achieves a spaciousness rarely experienced with these sized backyard pods. At only 10m2, the PP Mini Homes Backyard Pod does not require a building permit, thereby saving on costs for our clients, while still maintaining the quality and integrity of build that PP Mini Homes, Pleysier Perkins, and our builder partners are well known for.

The Backyard Pod comes is a range of colour and cladding options. The steel pergola, for example, is offered as a standard option in monument, which is essentially a charcoal grey (not quite black) that is often a favourite, though can be ordered in many other Colorbond steel colours. Cladding can be corrigated iron, but also barestone, for example.

A sensible and rewarding backyard dwelling.

As is important with all backyard buildings given they are often viewed from the principal home, we believe our Backyard Pod is striking to look at and a handsome addition to anyone's back garden.

The PP Mini Homes Backyard Pod can be connected to the mains power, or can be self sufficient by adding solar panels on its roof and a battery to the rear.

As with all our Models, customisations are possible.

We build the Backyard Pod in our Melbourne factory for efficient install throughout the greater Melbourne metropolitan area. We plan on offering the same Backyard Pod to the greater Sydney metropolitan area later in 2026.
