Good to know
-
Exterior Plumbing connections: fresh water comes into the pod via a 3/4” PVC pipe, grey water drains out through a 1-1/2” pipe. Both connections are stubbed out under the pod and come out through the side-bottom. Black water discharges through a 4” pipe, which should be connected up to the main site system or discharge lines (sewage, septic-leach field).
-
Trailer: The water comes into the pod via a fresh water hose, same size fitting as a standard garden hose (5/8”).
-
Dry/composting toilet option: does not require a black water discharge.
-
Heat tracer if required, would be supplied and installed by a contractor.
-
We do not handle the connections from outside the pod, but your contractor or our partners could.
-
When the bathroom extra is added the pod’s side window will be switched to the opposite side wall, outside the bathroom, that is to the left wall on the regular layout and to right wall on the flipped layout.
-
Both bathroom extras are available for both fully prebuilt pods and flat pack kits, with or without trailer.
-
Pod’s with the bathroom extra require a 50A power hookup (instead of the regular 30A).
☀️ Optional Solar Power Setup
For off-grid use, add the solar kit:
- 4 monocrystalline panels (400W total)
- 2 LiFePO4 batteries (12V-170Ah)
- 3000W pure sine wave inverter (6000W surge)
🔋 Typical Off-Grid Use Cases (Solar-Powered Setup)
The Mini-O Pod’s solar kit allows you to stay productive even when fully off-grid. When fully charged and not receiving sunlight, the onboard batteries can power:
- Up to 9 hours: laptop + LCD screen + 4 LED interior lights + 2 ceiling speakers + fan + Wi-Fi router
- Up to 20 hours: laptop + 2 LED ceiling lights + router
These runtimes may extend if solar charging continues during the day.
For uninterrupted use, we recommend pairing the solar system with a backup power source such as a generator or grid connection — especially in low-light regions or during winter months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Delivery & Installation
Installation depends on your space and access. We offer three main methods:
- Ground Installation: Requires 10’–12’ of width clearance.
- Crane Installation: Used when ground access is limited and no overhead obstructions exist.
- On-Site Assembly: Flat Pack Kits are ideal for DIY or use with your own contractor. More budget-friendly.
- Built-on-Trailer Option: No installation needed — great for mobility.
To recommend the best option and provide a quote, we’ll request a short video and photos of your site.
- Fully Prebuilt Pods: Your pod is delivered fully assembled via tilt trailer, shed mule, or crane, depending on site accessibility.
- Flat Pack Kits / DIY: If access is tight or crane delivery is expensive, we can ship a flat-pack kit to your curb. You or our team can then assemble it on-site.
We coordinate delivery and installation through our licensed and insured local teams and partners. Installation methods include:
- Ground delivery and positioning
- Crane-based placement
- On-site assembly for hard-to-reach locations
You’re also welcome to handle pickup and installation yourself or use your own contractor.
Shipping and installation usually happen on the same day and take just a few hours. On-site assembly can take as little as 7 days, depending on weather and permit timing.
Permit requirements vary by location. Here’s what to know:
- The Twelve (96 sq ft) may only require an electrical permit
- The Sixteen (160 sq ft) may require a full building permit
- Flat Pack Kits: The contractor handles permits
- Prebuilt units: We can leave wiring exposed for inspection if required
- Trailer-based pods: Often don’t require permits
We also provide base plans and guidance, and recommend classifying the pod as portable rather than a permanent structure.
📌 Tip: Google ”[your county] shed permits” to check local rules.
Yes! We offer full flexibility:
- You can pick up and install the pod yourself
- You can use your preferred contractor
- Or let our certified local teams handle it for you
We’ll guide you through the best approach based on your location and access.
You need:
- Enough space (at least 14’x10’ for The Twelve; 18’x12’ for The Sixteen, including clearance)
- 30A–50A power available in your panel
We can install the pod no matter how difficult the access:
- If clear: prebuilt delivery
- If not: crane or on-site assembly
Yes. Mini-O carries a $2 million general liability insurance policy to cover property damage. Additionally, our trusted partners (shippers, crane operators, assemblers) have their own coverage.
Each Mini-O pod is made-to-order based on your selected configuration.
Production typically takes 3 to 7 weeks, depending on your customization options and our current production schedule. We begin manufacturing as soon as your payment clears.
No foundation is required on flat, level ground — but you can optionally use:
- Gravel or concrete pad
- Wood foundation
- Pylex screws or Sonotubes (for Flat Pack kits)
- Concrete pier blocks or beams (for Flat Pack kits)
Your foundation must support:
- 4,600 lbs for The Twelve
- 7,200 lbs for The Sixteen
We recommend the height difference between the ground and foundation not exceed 5”.
Anchoring is not required, but may be needed by local regulations. Compatible systems include:
- Steel L-profiles
- Simpson post bases
- Pylex ground screws
- RedHead anchors
We support all common anchoring methods — check with local authorities for requirements.
Yes. Every Mini-O pod comes with a built-in smart electric heater.
Each pod includes a 50-amp service and breaker panel that connects to your home’s electrical panel. We don’t perform the hookup, but any licensed electrician can do it.
Inlet locations:
- Regular layout: Back right corner, ~3 feet above ground
- Flipped layout: Back left corner, ~3 feet above ground
Yes! Behind the acoustic QuietWall surface is a layer of plywood and framing studs. As long as you mount into a stud, you can hang shelves, monitors, art, or hardware. We provide a framing plan so you know exactly where to drill.
Yes! Your Mini-O office is fully portable. It can be moved using the same method as delivery — crane, boom truck, or shed mule — making it perfect for future relocations.
