Galactic Ideas: One Man's Mission To Build A Spaceship In His Garden
When most people think about building a garden room, they picture timber-clad square box with a flat roof. But not everyone follows the usual script.
Take a look at what happened when Chester Walsh, a professional prop maker, used one of our glamping pod frames to build something completely different — a Star Wars–inspired spaceship bar in his back garden.
The Launch Pad
Chester came to us for the starting point: a glamping pod frame, custom-tweaked to suit his vision. Strong, curved, and ready to be adapted, it gave him the perfect base to build his spaceship around — and let him focus on what he does best: turning big ideas into something straight out of a galaxy far, far away.

He’s documenting the whole thing, in real time on Instagram, and we highly recommend watching it come together.
From the first curved ribs going up to all the spaceship detailing, it’s an absolute masterclass in thinking outside the pod.

It’s a brilliant way to get inspired for your own build — whether you’re planning something ambitious, a bit quirky, or totally one-of-a-kind. Watching Chester work might just give you the nudge you need to start sketching out your own custom design. And if you want to learn more about how our glamping pod frames can be adapted for projects like this, we’re always up for a chat.
