*In partnership with Hypedome.
I love being surrounded by nature. The sensory overload of our garden never ceases to amaze me. The plants, the scents and the sounds are only a small part of it. It brings back memories too which is truly powerful on so many levels. That is why I believe we should all aim to make most of our patches, no matter how big or small.
This brings me to the hottest garden trend of the summer. I am talking about garden domes of course, which have taken Pinterest and interior magazines by storm. I’ve seen quite a few in hotels recently, so they are definitely increasing in popularity. Thanks to Hypedome these crystal clear pods are available for everyone to help you transform your garden.
Let’s take a closer look at why these see-through garden rooms are worth the investment.
WHAT IS A GARDEN DOME?
Garden domes are clear outdoor structures that blur the lines between indoors and outdoors. They don’t normally require building regulations and can be enjoyed all year round. They can be made of glass, polycarbonate or PVC, depending on your needs and budget. The best part about these clear pods for the garden is that they are relatively easy to set up and maintain, so you can enjoy those spectacular views for years to come.
HOW IS HYPEDOME DIFFERENT?
Not all garden pods are equal. When choosing the right garden dome for your home, it’s important not to skimp on the quality. Aesthetics is of course important too but durability is even more so. Thankfully, Hypedomes are made of clear polycarbonate panels enabling superior durability, and a more innovative design. We all know how harsh the UK weather conditions can be and a polycarbonate dome will give you better quality, thicker panels, and more robust construction compared to cheaper alternatives.
4 DIFFERENT HYPEDOME SIZES
Whether you’re looking for a small office pod or a large outdoor dining solution, Hypedome has something for everyone. The pods come in 4 different sizes; ranging from Hypedome mini (up to 4 people seated) to Hypedome L (for gatherings of up to 28 guests). Thanks to multiple sizes, the pods can be used for various purposes. You can also customise the pod to suit your needs, whether a yoga studio, home office or an extra dining space. The pods can be anchored in many different ways and used on all types of surfaces. They even come in 4 different colours; mirror, clear, grey and opal, helping you blend them with the environment. For those wishing for a proper hideout, the mirror dome is a great alternative without sacrificing the views.
WHAT ABOUT VENTILATION & SUN PROTECTION?
I know you’ve been wondering about this one. It was a concern for me too. But I am happy to report that all Hypedomes can be heated or air-conditioned, especially when paired with bespoke climate control add-ons; such as window panels, insulated decking, insulated wall panels etc. You can also add a stand-alone A/C unit inside during the summer months. During the winter, electric fan heaters or radiators will warm you up. As you can see, they really have thought of everything. I also quite like that all the polycarbonate elements are UV-protected, meaning UV exposure will be reduced and the colour of the pod will not change due to sun exposure.
MAINTENANCE
Hypedomes can be kept pristine with water or a mild detergent. For more stubborn stains you can use the free cleaning kit that comes with your set or powerwash the polycarbonate elements. Sounds pretty easy to me!
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
All Hypedome products and accessories are created using eco-friendly practices. First of all, Hypedomes are made of polycarbonate which is a very long-lasting material. This means you can easily expect to get 15 years out of your Hypedome which makes it a great long-term solution for anyone wanting to add an extra room to their garden with minimal effort. Thanks to the modular design, broken parts can be easily repaired or replaced (if the worst comes to it). You’d also be pleased to hear that polycarbonate is fully recyclable just like any other recyclable plastics. On top of that, Hypedome has a program where used Hypedomes are upcycled as community garden’s greenhouses. Pretty amazing, right?
There is no doubt that garden domes will continue to rise in popularity. They are the perfect solution for anyone looking for additional garden space, without much hassle or concern over the weather. They look incredibly sleek and minimalist in comparison to traditional wooden rooms/sheds. And the fact that you can immerse yourself in the beauty of your surroundings makes them a winner in my book.
So, what do you think about these beautiful bubble-rooms? Would you consider adding one to your garden?
