GARDEN DESIGN model of the Outdoor Living Pod™ was chosen due to its rotating louvered roof that fully retracts and is completely watertight when closed .
The finished result The perimeter edges of all 8 Pods were equipped with screens to offer protection from the elements , whilst additional ‘ doorways ’ between modules would allow for different areas to be zoned off . Each module was installed with infra-red heating and festoon lighting to create a cosy and pleasant environment .
Stuart Dantzic , Managing Director at Caribbean Blinds , explained : “ We worked closely with the architect , designer , contractor and end client at every stage of this project . Manufacture from order sign-off was 12 weeks , with installation taking just 2 weeks for our team to complete .”
Anthony Pollak , Facilities Director at The Conduit , added : “ The Pods have enabled us to use our terrace all year round . By opening them up in the summer , and keeping the roof closed , sides down and heaters on in the winter , it gives us some much needed outside space . From the initial design meeting to installation , the Caribbean Blinds team made the whole experience very smooth and straightforward .”
The Outdoor Living Pod™ explained … Designed for those who want to live life outdoors , the rotating louvered roof offers an openair alfresco feel when left fully open , and ensures a completely water , wind and snow-tight roof when closed . Optional windproof screens , ambient LED lighting and infra-red heaters provide a cosy and pleasant environment all year round . Constructed from corrosionresistant , powder coated aluminium , the low-maintenance Pod™ adapts to any outdoor lounging or dining space .
