Your ePOD is made of high quality plastic that not only looks fantastic but is strong, durable and stable. However, like all plastic products, they are susceptible to prolonged weather and the long-term effects of direct sunlight. Your ePOD is designed for indoor use and should be mounted or placed out of direct sunlight to ensure as long a life as possible and too preserve its aesthetic good looks. Colour change due to fading is a natural and expected. Over time, most colours will slightly fade or lose their intensity to a varying degree, depending upon how much exposure to harsh atmospheric conditions takes place during the life of the product.

At Dfence, we have ensured the materials are of the highest quality and are recyclable.

The ePOD is best mounted upright or placed on a bench or table top upright.
