MELANIE WILLIAMSON- BACKYARD PODS

DISRUPTIVE TECHPRENEUR

Melanie Williamson is the Founder and CEO of Backyard Pods, an online leader for tiny home kits. As a disruptive techpreneur and strategic chief marketing officer, Melanie also helps other businesses to grow by launching their products or reach global markets.

Melanie is like her late father, seizing the moment and making audacious achievements. Peter Williamson was a former legendary racing car driver, sportsman, and businessman, so you can imagine the energy Melanie inherited.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Melanie thought of an idea for technology, CoolGard, a staff and visitor management system for automatic contact-tracing compliance with astonishing real-time alerts and monitoring dashboard and visitor insights.

Melanie is always thinking of marketing. When asked what she would do with her last $20, she replied, “Promote something that other people wanted to buy but couldn’t find previously.”

LIVE WORK PLAY - ALL IN A BACKYARD POD

For Melanie Williamson, it is her dream for everyone to easily enjoy an extra room made from practical materials at affordable prices. Top that off with a nice design ethic, great energy efficiency and plenty of options for customisation. A dream come true!

To access this dream, you can start with a basic backyard pod kit of 3m x 3m flatpack from A$3,656 with options to add a deck or verandah from A$1,592 plus doors and windows. Not bad when you think of all the things you can do with these pods.

Backyard Pods is the home of Australia’s most reliable, versatile, and affordable flat-pack modular building kits.

OFFICE AND PLAY PODS

How about a Pod Office where you can work distraction-free with the convenience of being close to home?

Adrian from Strathmore, Victoria did with the 3.6m x 5m pod kit with Eaves and Blade Walls in Colorbond™ Monument. Through Backyard Pods, he also ordered the double-glazed Polar Eco-View stacker doors with black frames, as double-glazing is known for its soundproofing and energy-saving effectiveness – cool in summer, warm in winter.

The versatility of these pods can stretch as far as your imagination allows. When you put one of these pods in your backyard, you can turn it into a TV den, hangout space for teenagers, an exercise room, she-shed, man-cave...the possibilities are endless! Anything that suits your lifestyle. Just imagine what you can do with the extra space!

GRANNY PODS

Whether you call them Granny Flats or Tiny Houses, the concept is just fantastic. These habitable pod projects can also be a money-spinner as you can rent them out or offer them as holiday pods with Airbnb.

Start with a Backyard Pod of 3m x 8m and turn it into a modern, spacious, fully self-contained ‘tiny home’ with all the comfort and conveniences needed for 1-2 people. Add in a queen-sized bedroom, kitchenette, ample wardrobe spaces, open space living and dining areas, bathroom, toilet with full-scale ceiling height and you have all you need to make it your own cozy little home or investment.

Backyard Pods are engineering certified Class 1 (dwelling) with standard N3 wind rating – now also available with N4 wind rating, compliant for building in high-wind areas (at a small additional cost based on pod size).
