Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

There is no doubt that the world is changing, and it is perhaps changing in ways that we never thought possible. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, more and more people are finding themselves working remotely.

When you first started to work from home, you probably loved the freedom of sitting on the couch in front of the TV with your computer on your lap or perhaps spreading out on the dining room table. That works for about a week, and then you are looking for a dedicated area to call your own.

That is where the home-office comes in, and if you are looking for some inspiration, you might want to look to the backyard. The ten home-office pods that we show below are perfect for getting stuff done without venturing far from your living space.
