Short reads to help you decide before you buy.
Autonomous designs the pods to sit below the permit threshold in most US cities. Rules vary by city and HOA, so check with your local building department before ordering.
No slab or excavation. The pods stand on adjustable feet that work on grass, gravel or concrete and can handle a gentle slope.
The WorkPod connects with a single outdoor cable to one plug. An electrician can advise on the right outdoor circuit for your yard. The WorkPod also offers an optional solar system.
Autonomous ships to most US states. Alaska and Hawaii are not covered.
Autonomous sells, ships and supports the pods, including warranty. We're happy to help you reach the right person.
