Turn three empty pitches
into high-yield cabins.
A ready-to-assemble cluster of export-grade glamping cabins, QC'd on the ground in Zhengzhou and shipped to your site in Ireland or the UK, without spending a year wrestling with builders.
Test glamping demand with three solid units
If you own land and can attract guests at €80–€200 per night, three well-spec'd cabins can become a serious profit centre. The package is designed for:
- Campsites that want to test glamping demand before committing to a full park.
- Farm stays and rural landowners who want year-round, weather-safe accommodation instead of tents.
- Holiday parks and small hotels experimenting with "nature suites" on nearby land.
What you get in the 3-Pod Package
A complete, ready-to-assemble cluster, coordinated end-to-end so you focus on guests, not factories.
- ✓Three fully fitted cabins/pods, approx. 18–25 m² each, for 2–4 guests
- ✓Steel frame or structural insulated panels with timber or composite cladding
- ✓Interior: bed area, seating, compact ensuite (shower/WC), kitchenette by design
- ✓Climate-matched insulation, double-glazed windows, electric heating options
- ✓Optional shared sanitary unit, separate male/female showers and WCs, mechanical ventilation
- ✓Design & specification coordination, layout, finishes and openings adapted to your site
- ✓On-the-ground QC in China, pre-shipment inspection of structure, fit-out and finish
- ✓Logistics to Ireland/UK, inland haul, sea/rail leg, customs assistance, delivery
You are responsible for foundations, connection to services, and on-site assembly, but we coordinate closely with your local contractor throughout.
The numbers on a mid-spec 3-pod cluster
Buy comparable units from a European prefab supplier and you are typically looking at €25,000–€40,000 for a 20–30 m² studio and €45,000–€75,000 for 40–70 m². Sourced factory-direct from China, the same package costs far less. A realistic scenario for a 3-pod package into Ireland or the UK:
- Ex-factory per pod: ~€6,000–€15,000 (basic expandable to mid-range, ensuite, properly insulated).
- Optional sanitary unit ex-factory: ~€6,000–€12,000 by size and fixtures.
- Inland logistics, export, sea freight, insurance, import: ~€12,000–€20,000 for the package.
That gives an indicative factory-plus-logistics band of €45,000–€80,000 before foundations and local work, roughly 30–50% below buying the equivalent units in Europe. At nightly rates of £60–£200 per cabin, a 3-unit cluster can feasibly generate €50,000–€100,000+ gross revenue per year with good occupancy, pricing, and marketing. Our job is to help you hit the lower end of the cost band and build a site that commands the higher end of the rate band.
How Ériu Sourcing gets paid on this package
We price openly, a project fee for design/spec coordination, supplier sourcing, on-site QC, and logistics management, plus a modest margin on factory pricing where we control negotiation and volume.
You see the budget broken down, factory, transport, our fee, contingency, with payment milestones tied to production and shipping stages. We do not hide factories or arbitrarily mark up pricing. The value is in the expertise, the QC, and the risk we take off the table.
How the 3-Pod Package runs
Discovery call
30–45 minutes on your land, existing business, target nightly rate (ADR), and occupancy.
Feasibility & budget
1–2 design directions and a budget band based on current factory and freight pricing (1–2 weeks).
Factory & drawings
We shortlist 1–2 Henan/Zhengzhou factories with cabin export experience and work through drawings and spec (2–4 weeks).
Contract & production
You sign off design and payment schedule; the factory manufactures; we monitor and inspect (8–12 weeks).
Shipping & delivery
We coordinate loading, sea/rail transport, customs, and final delivery to your site (4–8 weeks).
Assembly & launch
Your local contractor assembles and connects services; we stay involved for snagging and future phases.
Build the factory side right for your planning submission
In Ireland, the UK, and most European countries, cabins and container homes used for glamping require planning permission and must comply with building and energy standards. Energy performance is increasingly scrutinised under nearly-zero-energy-building (NZEB) policies, so insulation, windows, and heating must be specified correctly from day one.
We work only with factories able to provide structural data and performance information, which your local architect or engineer can embed in planning submissions and building-control documentation. You own the planning process; we make sure the factory side supports it.

- Test glamping demand without taking on a 20-unit park.
- Add weather-proof, high-yield stock to an existing campsite.
- Start a new farm stay or rural retreat with a clear ROI model.
Planning a larger build? The same process scales to a 6–8 unit mini-park or a 10–20 unit destination, delivered in phases.
3-Pod Glamping Cabin Package, questions answered
Last reviewed: June 2026
What does the 3-Pod Glamping Cabin Package include?
Three fully fitted cabins or pods (approx. 18–25 m² each, for 2–4 guests) with a steel frame or structural insulated panels, timber or composite cladding, climate-appropriate insulation, double-glazed windows, and electric heating; an optional shared sanitary unit with separate male/female showers and WCs; design and specification coordination to your site; on-the-ground QC in China; and logistics coordination to Ireland or the UK. You are responsible for foundations, service connections, and on-site assembly, which we coordinate with your local contractor.
How much does a 3-pod glamping package cost landed in Ireland or the UK?
As an illustrative scenario: ex-factory pods at €6,000–€15,000 each (basic expandable to mid-range ensuite), an optional sanitary unit at €6,000–€12,000, and €12,000–€20,000 for inland transport, export, sea freight, insurance, and EU/UK import. That gives an indicative factory-plus-logistics band of roughly €45,000–€80,000 before foundations and local groundworks, around 30–50% below buying equivalent units from a European prefab supplier. We provide a full breakdown, factory, transport, our fee, contingency, before any commitment.
What revenue can three glamping cabins generate?
At typical European glamping nightly rates of £60–£200 per cabin, a well-run 3-unit cluster can feasibly generate €50,000–€100,000+ gross revenue per year if occupancy, pricing, and marketing are handled well. In a high-demand tourism region, that can recover the capital outlay in roughly 2–4 seasons. Actual figures depend on location, design, season length, and how the site is marketed.
Do glamping cabins need planning permission in Ireland and the UK?
In Ireland, the UK, and most European countries, cabins and container homes used for glamping require planning permission and must comply with building and energy standards, including nearly-zero-energy-building (NZEB) policies for insulation, windows, and heating. We work only with factories that can provide structural data and energy-performance information your local architect or engineer can embed in planning and building-control submissions. The application itself is your responsibility.
How is Ériu Sourcing paid on the 3-pod package?
Transparently: a project fee for design/spec coordination, supplier sourcing, on-site QC, and logistics management, plus a modest margin on factory pricing where we control negotiation and volume. You see the budget broken down, factory, transport, our fee, contingency, with payment milestones tied to production and shipping stages. We do not hide factories or arbitrarily mark up pricing; the value is in the expertise, QC, and risk removal.
