Garden Pods & Igloos

Garden Pods

Garden pods are a brilliant solution if you need additional space in your home and garden but don’t want the upheaval and expense (and copious amounts of dust) of a home extension. These curvaceous garden rooms are quick and easy to install and their versatility offers up plenty of uses; from al-fresco dining to a kids play den, a yoga retreat to a home office or even a cheeky little cocktail bar! (check out our satiating range of drinks trolleys!)

Who wants boring straight lines when you can have appealing curves! These spherical garden pods create an inviting space where you can escape the bustle of life in your own little bubble! Whether entertaining friends or meditating alone, being totally surrounded by your garden is a wonderful environment to unwind and relax in.

We have igloo domes that offer a frameless connection to your outdoor space or for a more structured feel, natural timber garden pods will blend beautifully with your garden as the seasons flow through their changing palette of colours.

Differing from log cabins, that offer a more enclosed ambiance, garden pods allow you to enjoy every aspect of your garden, all year round.

Garden Pod FAQ’s

If you’re bowled over by these beautiful garden rooms and want to know more, here’s a roundup of our most popular questions;

1. Is a garden pod suitable as a home office?

Yes! If you need extra space because you are working from home and are tired of pitching up at the dimly lit dining table, why not create an inviting outdoor home office with a garden pod. The natural light will flood your workspace (great for your serotonin levels!), promoting a calm and focused environment to work in, plus being surrounded by greenery is proven to enhance concentration levels!

2. Can I use a garden pod all year round?

The manufacturer’s guidelines will specify if your garden pod can be used all year round, as this will inevitably involve using an additional heating source. Electric standalone heaters are often used and will enable you to enjoy your garden room all year round. Pop a few cosy throws over your garden chairs, fling on a wooly jumper and you’ll be snug as a bug! Or better still, how about a Le Feu Bio Ethanol Heater to keep you warm?

3. Do you need planning permission for a garden pod?

You shouldn’t require planning permission for your garden pod because garden rooms or structures usually fall within the permitted development guidelines. Certain restrictions apply, for example, it must not contain sleeping accommodation and must be single-storey with a maximum eave height of 2.5m. If you have further questions, it’s always best to check with your local authority.

4. How do I assemble my garden pod?

Assembling your new garden structure will depend on which model of garden pod you buy. The igloo domes can be self-assembled (this is a 2 person job) in a matter of hours, with step-by-step instructions and videos available to help you. Our range of wooden garden pods require assembling by a professional team - but don’t fret this is all included in the price so you don’t need to worry about a thing!
