What does an average pod weigh?
This can vary according to size and whether a floored or floorless option is specified. As a rule of thumb, a completed pod can vary from about 750 kg for student-type shower-rooms through to 1500 kg for a larger floored bathroom. Note that this is about one-third of the weight of a similar full concrete pod.
