SITE FOOTPRINT
The structure is only part of the footprint
FLXPOD's published nominal exterior dimensions are 20 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 9.5 feet high, with two open training bays.
The surrounding area is part of the training environment. Allow for equipment use, movement, circulation, and supervision. Delivery and placement may require additional access and working space.
Confirm the full layout before beginning site work. The exterior dimensions are not a foundation plan.
SITE REVIEW
Six things to review
Location and usable training area
Look at proximity to practice and the space around the pod. Plan how athletes enter, use stations, and return to practice without crossing active training areas unnecessarily.
Delivery access
Review the route from the property entrance to the proposed location. Gates, turns, overhead obstructions, ground conditions, and unloading space can affect the delivery approach. Confirm the placement method for the actual project.
Foundation
A suitable foundation must be established for the site and configuration. Don't order a slab or start anchoring work from website dimensions alone.
Drainage and surfaces
Review where water collects, how drainage will be managed, and which surfaces support the planned training. Consider the conditions the site will face during normal use.
Electrical needs
Confirm the requirements of the selected configuration and who will provide the appropriate electrical work. The website does not establish a universal electrical service specification.
Approvals
Identify applicable local requirements and your organization's internal approvals early. Responsibility for reviews, permits, and inspections belongs in the project scope.
PROJECT SEQUENCE
From first plan to arrival
- 01
Describe the project.
Share the location, available area, daily demand, group sizes, and equipment priorities.
- 02
Review site fit.
Work through the layout, access, utilities, foundation, drainage, and required approvals with the relevant people.
- 03
Confirm the scope.
Establish configuration, responsibilities, pricing, timing, delivery, and installation in writing.
- 04
Prepare for arrival.
Complete the agreed site work and confirm readiness before the scheduled delivery.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Agree on who handles each part
Site preparation, foundation work, electrical work, approvals, transport, placement, and installation may involve different parties. Confirm who performs each task and whether its cost is included or separate.
The planner provides a preliminary planning range. Your formal quote establishes the actual scope and pricing.
FAQ
Common planning questions
Is a 20-by-8-foot area enough?+
That is the structure's nominal exterior footprint. The complete layout needs space for training and circulation, plus project-specific allowances. Review the full area before selecting the location.
What foundation is required?+
The foundation is determined for the specific site and project. There is no universal construction detail provided on this page.
How long does delivery and installation take?+
Timing depends on the confirmed configuration, site readiness, approvals, and delivery arrangements. Establish the schedule during the project discussion and formal quote.
Can we start while comparing locations?+
Yes. Use the planner's “Exploring possible locations” option and describe the constraints you already know.
Can the pod be relocated later?+
Discuss relocation before making it part of your plan. Transport, structural review, utilities, the new site, approvals, and any effect on warranty need project-specific consideration.

Bring the location. We'll start with the questions that matter.
Include your organization, approximate available area, known access constraints, training demand, facilities contact, and target timing. Flag unknowns so they can be addressed during the review.
