About Berko Pod Systems - Garden Pods
Berko Pod Systems pods are constructed using light gauge structural steel which is a far stronger and more durable structure than standard timber-framed pods/garden rooms.
By manufacturing in steel, it also means our garden pods can be finished with a wide range of external cladding such as composite, timber, stone, and brick. The steel framework makes the pod much more flexible and can endure more movement without any damage to the structure as it can happen with timber pods.
The materials we have are of the highest standard. We pride ourselves on the quality of insulation and weather membrane used to enable your pod to withstand the harshest of climates.
By using our steel framing system, our garden pods will not be exposed to any shrinkage, movement, or expansion caused by severe climate conditions.
We always work closely with our clients to ensure the finished exterior of the pods and that it compliments the home and garden.

Modular construction using light gauge steel allows for faster project completion compared to traditional methods.
Our advanced technology and precision manufacturing ensure precise dimensions and a high level of accuracy in the construction of our pods.
Light gauge steel provides a stronger and more durable structure than standard timber frames. It offers superior performance and longevity, ensuring the structural integrity of our pods.
We are committed to sustainability. Our pods are made from 25% recycled material and are 100% recyclable at the end of their life cycle. This reduces waste and promotes a more eco-friendly approach to construction.
The steel framework of our pods allows for a wide range of external cladding options, including composite, timber, stone, and brick. This versatility enables customised designs and finishes, tailored to the preferences of our clients.
Our pods are designed to withstand the harshest climates. With high-quality insulation and a weather-resistant membrane, they provide excellent protection against the elements. The steel structure system makes sure that hot or cold weather won’t cause any shrinking, movement, or expansion of the pods.
Our Berko Pod Systems Derry Process
Our team of designers will bring your vision to life.
Collaborative Design
We work closely with our clients, engaging in their ideas and vision for their garden pod. Through initial consultations and on-site visits, our directors personally develop your ideas to create your dream garden room.
3D Drawing
After the site visit, we create a detailed 3D drawing of your pod, providing a visual representation of the final product.
Manufacturing
For standard-sized pods, manufacturing takes place at our factory in Limavady, Derry. However, for larger pods, construction is carried out on-site by our highly skilled team.
Quality Workmanship
We truly feel proud of the quality of our work. Throughout the construction stage, a director will be hands-on to ensure your pod is finished to the highest standards.
Planning Compliance
Our pods are built within the planning guidelines in both the UK and Ireland, minimising the hassle and costs associated with planning applications. If your design falls outside these requirements, we can work closely with your architect to ensure compliance.

EXCELLENTBased on 8 reviewsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Tracy Boland2023-11-21My husband and I have recently finished working with Charlie on the installation of our new bespoke Garden room and could not recommend this company enough. We are absolutely thrilled with our space. We came across Berko pods after someone recommended the company to my husband, and contacted Charlie who facilitated a visit to his showroom. We were so impressed with his knowledge and experience and it was great to see the variety of pods available to view. There was no comparison on the spec of some other Garden rooms we had viewed elsewhere, Charlie's pods with the full steel frame were miles ahead. We also loved the idea of the ground screws and avoiding a concrete slab. I began communicating with Niamh via email on our bespoke pod and nothing was a problem. We agreed on price and design and Charlie and the lads arrived on site in Mayo less than 10 weeks later. They are excellent craftsmen and within 2 weeks our pod was completed to a turn key finish. We are so happy with our space and look forward to enjoying it for years to come. We highly recommend this company.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Leo Hamill2023-09-15Delighted with our new garden room. Charlie and his team were great to deal with. They deliver a quality product and did so very efficiently. We used ground screws for the base whish also saved time and resource. Great outcome. Well done Berko Pod Systems.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.BEN TYLER2022-11-10I commissioned Berko Pods to build a bespoke garden office/room for me. From the initial phone conversation to the final handover I cannot fault Charlie and his team. Using their experience they were able to convert my ideas into reality. The build process was quick and tidy and I was kept informed of progress throughout. I have been using my pod for a couple of months now and it has far exceeded my expectations in terms of light, insulation and finish. Prior to working with Charlie and his team I researched many different pod companies, they stood out on all fronts with products that are of a far better quality and finish than their competition. I would not hesitate to recommend Berko Pods.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.David Harris2022-07-26We commissioned Berko Pods for a garden office for my dad as my sister and nieces had moved home. To say they were professional is an understatement, from the very start we were given the best customer service and were treated wonderfully, we went with a custom order as the space we had available was very tight and the solution Berko provide is incredible. To say that the product they have delivered is well designed and built is an understatement, it truly feels sturdier and better insulated than our house! One of the best parts of their solution was the use of footings/ground screws so there was no need for a concrete slab. All of the lads who assembled our office were fantastic, professional and approachable if we thought of anything and the communication we had with everyone was fantastic. We could not be happier with the garden office we got and would absolutely recommend Berko to anyone looking for a bespoke, quality product from an amazing and open company. From day one Charlie and Niamh really looked after us and made sure that we were involved and happy with every stage, we are delighted with the result!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.David Kelly2022-06-08Can’t speak highly enough of this company. We wanted a bespoke garden room and are so glad we went with Charlie and Niamh at Berko Pod Systems. From start to finish it was hassle free and the quality of the finished product is excellent. The steel framed garden room is like having an extension to our home without the disruption and inconvenience of getting building work done. Charlie and Niamh kept us regularly informed of the build progress and it was delivered and installed in the agreed timescale. Would have no hesitation recommending Berko Pod Systems to anyone thinking of getting a garden room/pod or shepherds hut etc.
