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 . . .
Great value product which has provided me with much needed space for home working which with a growing family was much needed. The whole process from ordering, all communications, delivery and set up was seamless and extremely professional.
Fantastic service and great product, really happy with our home office shipjack pod
I bought a Dory Pod from Hully, which arrived a couple of weeks ago exactly as planned and specified. The process of selecting what I wanted was very easy. I paid the deposit and then the firm reached out very quickly to make sure that there was suitable access for delivery and confirm what I wanted. Fast forward to the delivery, Steve (absoloute salt-of-the-earth type) arrived and put the Pod exactly where we needed it, really helpful, friendly and efficient. The pod itself is exactly as described and does exactly what we wanted, a compact and comfortable workspace outdoors. The staff and customer service was excellent, communication quick and efficient.
Great Pod.Really impressed with the quality and the delivery team were brilliant at managing the final positioning.
I bought a Hully Pod for my partner so that she had somewhere to work in a comfortable and quiet space. It’s everything we wanted and more! I can’t thank Kianna enough. She has been brilliant answering questions and keeping us informed about all the process, including our difficult issue with accessing the garden. I also can’t thank the delivery driver for his help, effort and expertise in getting our pod into the garden safely, we couldn’t have done it without him! I would 1000% recommend a Hully Pod to anyone as it’s the perfect office space you could ask for!
Amazing service from start to finish! We purchased the skip jack hully pod back in April and delivery was in May! So impressed with the quick turnaround. Delivery was smooth, pod was perfect, such great quality. We had an issue with the door and within the week some of the team were over fixing it. I haven't worked in it during the summer, can't comment but it does get hot, like any garden building, i personally think i should of got a window but that's just personal preference, i was very torn on that! But I have plans to pop fans in there, in the winder a good heater heats it up quickly as it's a small space and retains its heat nicely. I have no regrets, I use this for my Beauty business and clients love it and hully pods customer service has been really good when I've needed them. Highly recommend as we now don't need to move!
