I’ve just ordered a HypeDome.

Below are my reasons why I ordered it. If you’ve got room in your garden, and a few quid saved up, I have a hunch that you will want one too. So, if you haven’t got £3,000 under your mattress, I suggest you don’t read this.
The story starts as all stories currently do, with Covid.
Due to Covid, I found myself needing more space in our little cottage. More space for working, and more space for working out.
I then asked myself this question…
“Will it add value to my house?”
After doing some research, I discovered the answer was a big “Yes!”
According to popular property personality Phil Spencer, a conservatory can add around 7% in value to your home.
My little cottage is valued at £150,000. That means by getting the HypeDome, which is essentially a cool-looking conservatory, I increased the value of my property by £10,500.
It only cost £3,000.
That means I made £7,500!
So, it wasn’t an expense. It was an investment.
I was going to get a traditional conservatory at the back of the cottage (we already have one in the front of the cottage that we spend 90% of our time in), but thankfully I stumbled across it on the web and was instantly smitten by the stunning dome.
I had already done lots of homework.
I’d spent countless hours looking at all the possible options. Domes, eco pods, conservatories, extensions, and Shephard huts were all options on the table. Speaking of tables, see the table below. I thought it might be helpful for you to see the options I was considering…
Garden Gym/Office Spaces
| Type | Cost | Size | Country | Assembly Time | Self Assembly |
| HypeDome | £3,000 | 7.6 ft high | Worldwide | 4 hours | Yes |
| Eco Pod (large) | £4,000 | 10×20 ft | UK | 0 hours | No |
| Eco Pod (small) | £2,192 | 10×10 ft | UK | 0 hours | No |
| Full Glass Conservatory (Wickes) | £12,000 | 13 X 17 Ft | UK | Weeks | No |
| Lean-to Full Glass Conservatory (Wickes) | £3,200 | 8 X 6 Feet | UK | Weeks | No |
| Off-the-shelf Conservatory Kit | £3000+ | All sizes | UK | Weeks | Yes |
| Shephard’s Hut | £20,000 | 20ft | UK | 0 hours | No |
After doing my homework, I concluded the HypeDome:
- Looks way cooler than a boring conservatory
- Will be enjoyed by the whole family 365 days a year
- Adds £10,500 to the value of my cottage
- Saves me £9,000 from getting an expensive conservatory
- Performs better than a conservatory in all weathers
- Is a space that has more functions than a Swiss army knife
- Only takes 4 hours to assemble
Those 7 reasons persuaded me to get it, but I also needed to persuade my better-half.
Below are 7 more reasons that I gave my partner as to why the purchasing of a HypeDome was a no-brainer decision…just in case you need them for your partner
To be fully transparent with you, my partner gave me the thumbs up the moment she realized the price of our cottage would increase by £10,500! She could see that was infinitely better than the measly 1% interest we get from our savings account.
Your better-half, however, might need a bit more persuading…
1. How To Use Your HypeDome
Yoga & Meditation Zen Dome
The Covid-19 pandemic has made lots of people reevaluate the importance of cultivating a peaceful, tranquil, Zen-like state of mind.
The HypeDome makes an ideal Yoga, Pilates, and Meditation zone!
10 Benefits Of Practicing Yoga In Your Garden Yoga Dome
| 1. Improves posture | 6. Listen to nature |
| 2. Impress your yoga teacher | 7. Watch nature |
| 3. Do yoga with family & friends | 8. Motivation to show up to your daily practice |
| 4. Builds muscle strength | 9. Dedicated yoga area |
| 5. Boosts metabolism | 10. Increases self-esteem |
Taking yoga outdoors is an instant relief from feeling closed in and trapped by four walls. Pick up your yoga mat, unfurl it, and soak up the sun, the birds chirping, and the trees rustling.
Yoga in nature is about as good as it gets.
And if you’re a yoga teacher, like me, you can use it as a unique place to Zoom your online classes. If you’re a yoga teacher, talk to your tax adviser about how much tax you can claim on the purchase price of the HypeDome.
2. How To Use Your HypeDome
Save £3000 On Gym Membership Fees Within 4 Years
A big reason for me getting a HypeDome was to have a stunning garden gym that inspired me to work out five times a week.
I asked myself this question…
Does your current indoor home gym inspire you to workout?
The answer was a great big fat “No!”
My home gym was in the cold, damp garage. That is the reason I skip so many of my daily workouts. It’s a horrible, spiritless environment.
It’s far more inspirational to be outdoors.
Humans evolved outdoors, so it should be no surprise how connected — and dependent — our bodies and minds are to nature. Studies show that people who can see trees and grass from their hospital window recover faster. Kids that spend more time outside get higher test scores. The more trees a housing project has, the lower the crime rate.
Lao Tzu said it best…
“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” – Lao Tzu
It made more sense to me to set up the gym in the garden so I could be surrounded by nature as I improved my body, mind, and soul.
If you watch this video of the HypeDome, I promise you’ll be as hyped (forgive the pun) to get your own garden gym dome as I was
Gyms might be closed for extended periods of time with no set date to reopen.
Even when gyms reopen, they are expensive.
A typical family gym membership is £60 per month in most areas.
That’s £720 per year!
The HypeDome costs just under £3,000 if you use my coupon code at checkout. That means within four years you will have paid off the HypeDome in saved gym fees.
10 Benefits Of Having A Garden Gym
| 1. Save money on gym memberships | 6. Listen to nature |
| 2. Entire family can use it | 7. Watch nature |
| 3. Do workouts with family & friends | 8. Motivation to show up |
| 4. Play music you like | 9. Dedicated area |
| 5. Learn something on YouTube | 10. Lower blood pressure |
You can play any kind of music you like on a speaker, bring your laptop out and learn something on YouTube (e.g. time management habits) while on the treadmill, or even do workouts with your housemates or partner.
Instead of using what the gym provides, you get a dedicated area of your own to create a workout room tailored to your exercise preferences.
3. How To Use Your HypeDome
Romantic Dining With A View
What could be more romantic than a star-lit meal with wine?
Why is being romantic important?
It is the vital fuel that keeps a relationship moving forward. It keeps a relationship lively, exciting, and purposeful. Romantic outdoor dining will make you both feel desired, loved, and appreciated.
10 Benefits Of Being Romantic

4. How To Use Your HypeDome
Stargazing
Stargazing is magical!
It really is.
There’s a very good reason that stargazing is on the rise as a trendy form of mindful meditation. It instantly helps people relieve stress and find inner silence.
Neill Sanders astrologer and founder of Go Stargazing, says visits to his website increased ten-fold during the lockdown. People are beginning to understand the power of slowing down and looking up.
10 Benefits Of Stargazing
| 1. Slowing down | 6. Fun staycations |
| 2. Looking up | 7. Social hobby (festivals) |
| 3. Emotionally refreshing | 8. Romantic |
| 4. More interesting than Netflix | 9. Connect to nature |
| 5. Mind therapy | 10. Stress reliever |
According to more studies that you can throw a stick at, spending just 15 minutes sitting surrounded by nature can help you to feel emotionally refreshed.
Spending just 15 minutes stargazing is about the best mind therapy you can give yourself, and it’s much more interesting than binging on Netflix or Amazon Prime series.
With lockdown restrictions in place, traveling is not an option, but stargazing gives you the opportunity for daily “staycations” in your HypeDome.
Stargazing is romantic.
Really. It is!
In this over-digitized age of ours, stargazing together is delightfully bonding.
Look up and let Mother Nature take your breath away.
The great thing about stargazing is that there are lots of other friendly stargazers. There are lots of opportunities to meet and socialize with your fellow astrologers. There are stargazing festivals and groups all over the world.
So, you can legitimately tell your better-half that your new stargazing hobby is a great way to meet new and interesting people.

Garden Office
Working from home is now the norm. And that’s a good thing if your office is a magical garden dome!
10 Benefits Of Working From A Garden Office
| 1. Save money | 6. Wear cozy clothes |
| 2. Save time | 7. No office distractions |
| 3. Save the environment | 8. No traffic |
| 4. More productive | 9. No crowds |

With a garden dome office, you get amazing views and all the health benefits of being out in nature. I don’t know about you, but I used to get quite down after spending 8 hours a day trapped in my work cubicle. Kinda felt like a prison to me.
If you are looking for a garden office, the space in the HypeDome garden pod is large enough to fit a desk and other office furniture comfortably. Because the exterior is made from polycarbonate panels with a clever fish scale design, you can rest assured that all of your home office supplies inside will stay completely dry.
Whether it’s conference calls or some much needed quiet time to work on your critical projects, this area is the perfect atmosphere to be productive. Just run a power cord line from under the pod, hook up all your equipment, and get to work!
6. How To Use Your HypeDome
Putting Practice
Admittedly if your partner isn’t a golfer, this will be a tough sell.
Your partner probably won’t see the allure of having an outdoor putting green, but it’s worth a try. You can explain that a normal outdoor putting green would cost well over £10,000, but all you need is the Putt Out Complete Putting Studio which is less than £150.
So, in reality, you’re saving the family budget £7,000.
You have to say that with a straight face, and practice saying it a few dozen times in front of a mirror to make sure your face is indeed straight, and no smile creases appear in the corner of your mouth.
The good news is that you can choose from dozens of putting drills if you got your golf-callused hands on my Golf Practice Planner.
10 Benefits Of A Practicing Putting In Your Dome
| 1. Practice makes perfect | 6. Listen to nature (like being on the course) |
| 2. Quickest way to improve your scores | 7. Watch nature (like being on the course) |
| 3. Like having an outdoor putting green | 8. Improve your putting in the off-season |
| 4. The Putting Studio is affordable | 9. The Putting Studio is moveable |
| 5. Practice putting in all weathers | 10. Instant feedback using Putting Studio mirror and gates |
7. How To Use Your HypeDome
Greenhouse Garden Pod
If you have a green thumb, your garden dome could also be used as a greenhouse to grow food year-round. No matter which plants you want to grow, a heater can be added as needed to keep your vegetation growing through the winter months. Start growing so you can reduce the number of trips to the local market.
10 Benefits Of Growing Your Own Veg
| 1. Improve your health | 6. Get Vitamin D from the sun |
| 2. Save money on groceries | 7. Fun to watch them grow |
| 3. Get outdoor exercise | 8. Better for the environment (no long-distance transportation) |
| 4. Gardening is a natural stress reliever | 9. No chemical pesticides |
| 5. Freshly grown veg is scrummy | 10. Waste less food when you grow your own |
Phew!
