Frequently asked questions

Tiny Homes & Cabins

  • Where are your homes built?

    All homes are designed by Live Off Grid and built by our partners across the UK, Europe and Asia, depending on the model range:

    • Canopy (Tiny Homes)
    • Galaxy (Container Homes)
    • Polaris (Premium Modular Pods)
  • Can I add an accessibility-friendly layout (ramps, wider doors, wet room)?

    Yes, accessible layouts may be subject to specific needs.

    We can consider:

    • wider door frames
    • ramp access
    • level thresholds
    • open-plan layouts
    • wet room bathrooms

    Let us know any accessibility needs at the enquiry stage so we can design accordingly.

  • What exterior cladding options last longest with low maintenance?

    Our longest-lasting, low-maintenance cladding options include:

    • steel cladding
    • composite boards
    • treated larch or cedar
    • durable fibre-cement

    We’ll recommend the best option based on location, weather exposure, and budget.

  • How do you prevent condensation and mould in small spaces?

    We design all homes with:

    • proper ventilation
    • high-quality insulation
    • trickle vents
    • moisture-resistant materials

    Daily management is minimal – just good airflow and occasional checks.

  • Are wood-burning stoves allowed and what clearances are required?

    Yes, wood burners are permitted if installed safely and correctly.

    You will need:

    • certified installation
    • correct flue and ventilation
    • distance to combustibles (usually 30–50cm depending on model)

    We design the layout to accommodate a stove safely if you prefer this option.

  • How secure are container homes?

    Extremely secure. Container homes are built from reinforced steel with:

    • anti-intrusion doors
    • strong window frames
    • high security locks

    They’re naturally robust and ideal for remote land.

  • Are your cabins suitable for business or office use?

    Yes, many customers use them as:

    • garden offices
    • studios
    • therapy rooms
    • workshops
    • farm shops
    • micro-cafés

    We can adapt layouts and power setups to suit commercial use. Approval depends on planning and land type.

  • What’s included in the standard specification?

    Most cabins include:

    • full insulation
    • reinforced structure
    • double glazing
    • electrical system
    • plumbing
    • fitted bathroom & kitchen
    • internal walls, flooring, lighting
    • basic heating options

    The full spec sheet is available during your enquiry.

  • Can I choose my interior finishes and colours?

    Yes – during design we’ll share finish options for:

    • flooring
    • wall panels
    • cabinetry
    • exterior cladding
    • window frames
    • worktops

    We help you balance aesthetics with durability for long-term use.

  • Do your homes come fully fitted and ready to live in?

    Yes – our standard builds include insulation, electrics, windows, bathroom, kitchen, storage, and lighting so you can move straight in.

    Optional upgrades include solar systems, underfloor heating, furniture, and premium finishes.

  • What is the difference between the Canopy, Galaxy, and Polaris collections?

    • Canopy Collection – Tiny homes on wheels or small foundations (cosy, modern, efficient).
    • Galaxy Collection – Steel container homes (strong, modern, long-term living).
    • Polaris Collection – Premium modular pods (luxury stays, high-end finishes, flexible sizes).

    Each collection serves a different lifestyle – browsing them is a great start before enquiring.

  • Are your homes mobile or fixed once installed?

    Both options exist:

    • Mobile units can be relocated later using a HIAB or flatbed.
    • Fixed foundations classify the home as permanent (planning-dependent).

    If mobility is important, tell us early and we’ll guide you towards the right build type.

  • What sizes do your tiny homes come in?

    Our tiny homes range from compact single-unit layouts (20ft) to large multi-unit home setups (up to 80ft+ combined).

    We also offer bespoke sizing if you need a specific footprint for planning or land constraints.

  • Can I customise the interior layout and finish?

    Absolutely. You can customise some level of:

    • layout
    • materials
    • colours
    • windows
    • fixtures
    • storage solutions

    Most clients choose a blend of our proven layouts with personalised details that suit their lifestyle. Start your design brief via Get Started.

  • Do Live Off Grid homes meet UK building standards?

    Yes, all structures meet the relevant standards for their category:

    • Mobile units: built to caravan / mobile home regulations
    • Fixed dwellings: meet or exceed UK building regulation standards

    We’ll clarify which category your chosen home falls under before you order.

  • What is the difference between a container home and a modular pod?

    • Container homes are built using reinforced steel shipping containers – incredibly strong, secure, and great for permanent or long-term siting.
    • Modular pods are purpose-built from new materials – often lighter, more flexible, and better suited for stays, retreats, and multi-unit setups.

    If you’re unsure which is right for your project, we’ll guide you during your design consultation.

  • Do off-grid homes come fully furnished and ready to move into?

    Yes, the majority of our cabins and homes are delivered turnkey with:

    • fitted kitchen
    • bathroom
    • flooring
    • lighting
    • electrics
    • insulation
    • optional furniture packages

    You can customise your layout during the design stage. If you want a fully move-in-ready setup, just begin the process using Get Started.
