Three core advantages that set the Kauri Pod apart from everything else on the market.
Full insulation with 3000mm waterproof rating. 7001-T6 aluminium frame withstands extreme wind and rain. Unlike a tent, the Kauri Pod is a rigid, ground-supported capsule designed for survival conditions.
Integrated solar panel keeps your devices charged when you're off-grid. USB output for phones, GPS, torches, and emergency communication — all powered by the sun.
Deploy in under 60 seconds. No poles to thread, no complex assembly. Carry, deploy, anchor — you're sheltered. Collapses back into a compact 1200×250×250mm carry bag.
From pack to shelter in under a minute. No tools. No experience. No stress.
Pack weighs only 12–16kg in its compact carry bag. Fits in any vehicle. Carry it anywhere.
Unfold the frame. The structure self-forms — no threading poles, no complicated assembly.
Stake it down with the integrated anchor points. Climb in. Sleep soundly, protected from the elements.
Tents fail when conditions get serious. The Kauri Pod is built different.
This is not a tent. This is engineered outdoor shelter.
Built to perform. Spec'd to last.

The 1-for-10 Model
For every 10 Kauri Pods sold through the Founders Presale, we will donate 1 Kauri Pod to an organisation supporting rough sleepers and those experiencing homelessness in New Zealand.
We believe quality shelter is a fundamental need. Our 1-for-10 model ensures that as we grow our community of outdoor enthusiasts and emergency-ready households, we're also helping those who need shelter most. Each donated pod provides a warm, dry, insulated sleeping space — not just a temporary fix, but real protection.
Shelter engineered for everyone who needs it.
Presale deposits are fully refundable within 14 days if requested in writing. After 14 days, deposits become non-refundable as funds are allocated to production. All purchases are covered by the NZ Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and Fair Trading Act 1986. Please review our full Refund Policy.
Production is scheduled to begin July 2026. Units will be manufactured and shipped in presale allocation order. We'll provide regular email updates throughout the production process so you always know the status of your order. Shipping within New Zealand typically takes 3–7 business days from dispatch.
The Kauri Pod weighs 12–16 kg depending on configuration. It collapses into a 1200×250×250mm carry bag that fits easily in any vehicle boot, ute tray, or roof box. One person can comfortably carry and deploy it.
The Kauri Pod is designed as a portable outdoor sleeping capsule for camping, emergency preparedness, and recreational use. While it's built to withstand serious conditions with its 3000mm waterproof rating and rigid aluminium frame, it is not intended as a permanent dwelling. For extended use, we recommend rotating the pod's position and ensuring proper ground preparation.
Yes. Every Kauri Pod comes with an integrated solar panel and USB output as standard. It's built into the pod's design — not an add-on. The panel charges during daylight hours and provides enough power to keep your phone, GPS, torch, or emergency radio running.
The Kauri Pod comes with a 12-month manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. This does not cover damage from misuse, extreme weather beyond the pod's design specifications, or normal wear and tear. Your rights under the NZ Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 apply.
