About Us

We design and build affordable garden Pods for people who need extra room to work, play and relax. Hully is a dynamic, growing company committed to design innovation and problem-solving. Each garden Pod is made to order by expert craftspeople with the greatest care. Hully Pods are available in three sizes and multiple colours and can be customised to suit your extra space needs.

Background

When our founder Aidan decided to design a glamping room, he reimagined a boat’s hull. Using a combination of boat-building techniques and an understanding of marine materials, he created the first Hully garden Pod. Since then, the team at Hully has grown to employ skilled craftspeople and built hundreds of Pods for happy customers all around the UK.

Boat-building heritage

At Hully we use traditional techniques to create unique spaces for modern living.

Each Pod is made by hand by craftspeople in our workshop on the banks of the river Itchen in Southampton using specialist boat-building techniques.

Planet-friendly

More than eight million tonnes of plastic are dumped into the oceans each year, putting marine wildlife in grave danger.

Like many organisations, we have chosen to move away from selling products made from virgin plastics. Hully Pods are made from recycled materials giving waste plastics a new, purposeful life. Over one thousand 500ml plastic bottles are recycled in every Skipjack Pod and over three hundred in every Dory.

Mission

We are committed to making a positive impact. Hully is passionate about building a community. We employ local people and consider our customers part of the Hully family. We are a design-led company, dedicated to solving problems with innovation at our very heart.

I have recently been lucky enough to get my hands on a Skipjack pod from Hully. It's still very early into ownership, so I will revisit this post in the event that something occurs that's worth an additional remark!Hully—probably self-admittedly—have positioned themselves at the "value" end of the office/garden space market, with an absolutely great price that undercuts pretty much anything else on the market.Whilst the price was a factor, the real pull for the purchase was the fact that the outer surface is a fibreglass structure. As my pod is situated under a massive lime tree, I didn't want something that would be affected by the leaf litter and sap.Ordering was really straightforward. I spoke to the guys via email and phone to make sure the pod could be delivered and situated where I wanted it, and the payment method was seamless.The base I used was a bit overkill, and maybe I'd have cut back a little if Hully had disclosed the finished weight of the pod (or if I'd bothered asking). Either way, mine sits on a concrete pad with pea gravel for levelling. Alternatively, as mine is only about 400kg, I probably could have gotten away with a hardcore and pea gravel base—but better safe than at an angle!Delivery again was totally straightforward. A transit-sized pickup with a short crane turned up, lifted the pod over the shed, dropped it in position, and left. Simple, right? Well, for the delivery guy maybe—but you could tell he was a seasoned, professional, diligent, and really nice guy.I won't spoil it, but they leave you with a few thank-you presents.First impressions of the pod are fairly positive. Inside, it's private and quiet, the size is spacious, and the space is very much usable and secure with the UPVC door and Euro lock.One thing though—the walls aren't reassuringly firm and have some "squish" inside and out. I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature. More of a remark than a concern, but still memorable.Finally, I cannot wait to move in, which should be this week or next!All in all, if you're after something that cuts through the market, offers serious value, has long life, and is practical, then genuinely check out Hully.So far, so impressed.

I can't rate this company highly enough! From start to finish they were a pleasure to deal with, very informative and helpful throughout. The pod itself is a thing of beauty, really well made and looks wonderful in the garden.I was rather worried about delivery but their driver made it very simple and straightforward and it was done very quickly without any fuss whatsoever.

Love my new workspace. I was looking for somewhere other than my living to work. I looked through plenty of different options and Hully seemed to best to suit my needs and space I have. Hully we’re amazing for start to finish. The delivery driver was the most friendliest man. The Dory pod is very deceiving in size and plenty of room inside. I love the wee engraving above the door and engraved key ring (son loved the chocolate bar).

My HullyPod Dory Office Pod is absolutely brilliant - it’s given me an office space that hasn’t taken over my garden, was simple to setup, and provides me with a warm, quiet and private space where I can work from home away from my busy family! The team were great and the quality is amazing. Definitely recommend.

My Hully Pod is one of the best decisions I’ve made to achieve the perfect office. All my tech works and it’s easy to heat so no issues with the electrics via the hook up. Delivery was easy and the staff I have dealt with have been awesome. From viewing the pods at at their workshop to receive it at my home was one of the best customer service experiences I’ve ever had. Thanks you
