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.
What our customers say . . .
Fantastic service from the folks at Hully 👏🏻 and also a massive thank you to the delivery driver who came and dropped off our pod this evening. 🙏
The delivery of our pod took a little longer than expected, but it was worth the wait! We bought the Skipjack pod for my 13 year old son to use as a music room and general hang out space. The delivery was very smooth and easy and the pod is perfect.
What a great company and a fantastic product. Jack, the delivery guy, was so good. Difficult for him to manoeuvre his van + trailer round the cul de sac already filled with the crane we needed, but it was no problem for him and he arrived bang on the time I was told he would. He was so personable and knowledgeable too. And from beginning to end, Terri and Kianna were amazing, answering my questions, meeting all my requirements, always available via WhatsApp, bent over backwards to accommodate the delivery date and time. Just amazing. I can't speak highly enough of the customer service. The pod is well built, beautiful to look at and spacious; the crane easily placed it on the concrete pad to the exact centimeter I wanted it. Superb value for money and a fantastic experience from start to finish. Thank you.
Now that I have had the pod for a few weeks, now is the time to complete a review. From order to delivery took a little longer than usual, but communication was good and kept me updated on progress. Delivery itself couldn’t have gone smoother and the pod was up and running after 30 mins as electrics were already in place. The pod is ideal for one person working at home. Plenty of space for storage and work desk. WiFi from the house is in place via an extender. However, I will explore the possibility of hard wire into the pod to increase performance. The insulation keeps it warm, a little too warm at times. I maybe should have considered the addition of a window for ventilation. The door being kept ajar is sufficient. It can be a little cold first thing. A quick short blast of the heater sets things right. I cannot recommend this pod enough. My friends have been impressed so much so they are thinking of ordering their own. The build quality and the installed electrics provide superb value for money. I look forward to many “happy” working days in my pod.
The pod is lovely. Great speakers with a great finish.
