How a Hully Pod created the perfect WFH space for a growing family

Rob’s wife works from a yellow Skipjack Pod in their garden. With two young children, the house was too noisy for focus and calls. Extending or moving was too expensive, and other garden rooms they looked at needed costly groundworks.

Rob’s family garden office at a glance

Pod: Skipjack Pod, 3m deep, 2.4m wide and 2.3m high (from £4,595 today)
Colour: custom RAL 1033 Dahlia Yellow, chosen by Rob’s wife, with a white door
Used for: a dedicated home office, all year round
Delivery: craned over the garden wall onto a paved area, with no major groundworks

Why a Skipjack instead of an extension

For Rob, it came down to cost and simplicity. The Pod cost far less than extending or moving, needed no complicated groundworks and arrived ready to use. It also heats efficiently: it keeps its warmth and costs very little to run.

Being able to choose the colour was a huge bonus. If you’re deliberating about getting one of these, just do it.

Our Customer’s Experience

How did you first hear about Hully Pods?

We came across Hully Pods while researching garden office solutions. We were looking for something practical, affordable, and well-designed that wouldn’t involve major building work.

What challenges/problems necessitated the purchase of a Hully Pod?

My wife works from home, and with two little ones, the house is noisy – not ideal for focus or calls. We looked at extending the house and even moving, but both were prohibitively expensive. Other garden pods we considered were also very costly and often required extensive groundworks and building work.We love where we live, so we needed a solution that gave us more space without turning life upside down.

What were you looking for in terms of a garden room solution?

We wanted something that:– Created a quiet, dedicated WFH space– Was affordable compared to moving or extending– Didn’t require major groundwork or disruption– Was comfortable and usable year-round

What made Hully Pods stand out over other solutions that you researched?

Hully Pods offered the perfect balance. They were far more affordable than other pods we looked at, didn’t require complicated groundworks, and felt like a complete, ready-to-use solution rather than a building project.The simplicity was a big win.

How has your Hully Pod helped you since it arrived?

It’s transformed working from home for my wife. She now has a calm, quiet space away from the house, which makes such a difference to focus and productivity.It also heats really efficiently – it costs very little to run and retains heat well, which surprised us in a good way.

What plans do you have to use your Hully Pod in the future?

It’ll continue to be our dedicated home office. It’s exactly what we needed and fits perfectly into our day-to-day family life.

Is there anything else we should know?

Being able to choose the colour was a huge bonus. My wife picked RAL 1033, and we absolutely love it – that choice really made the pod feel personal. It was the icing on the cake. From the first query to delivery – fab, fab, fab. If you’re deliberating about getting one of these, just do it.
