Potting sheds are perfect for growing your own
Perfect for cultivating all your favourite flowers and fruit & veg, a potting shed provides a warm and dry environment all year round. Large windows provide lots of light and a potting bench gives you somewhere to work.
Potting sheds are the perfect marriage between a shed and a greenhouse
When you want to grow your own and store some bits and bobs but only have space for one structure, a potting shed ticks all the boxes. The wood and the glazing is the perfect blend of shed and greenhouse giving you the best of both worlds.
Potting sheds offer flexibility
By being multi-purpose, potting sheds offer flexibility. Not just for gardeners, a potting shed makes an ideal crafting space, reading nook or just somewhere to take ten minutes out of a busy day with a cup of tea!
Potting sheds are low maintenance
Potting sheds are far easier to maintain than a greenhouse. The wooden structure will retain any heat the winter throws at us, and will not need the heating system required in a greenhouse. Strong and durable, a potting shed can be maintained like a wooden shed. How to maintain a timber shed tells you more.
Potting sheds offer lots of storage
Greenhouses do not accommodate storage solutions easily – tall shelving isn’t aways possible and there is little scope for hanging storage. A potting shed by comparison offers the possibility of vertical storage and shelving!
Potting sheds can be designed to your exact requirements
If you have a specific purpose in mind for your potting shed (perhaps you want to create a space where youngsters can play while you garden), or need wider doors, or you hanker after inbuilt storage, potting sheds can be bespoke designed to deliver exactly what you want. Our experienced team can work with you to make your dream a reality with our bespoke custom build service.
Once you decide to invest in a potting shed, it’s important to understand What makes a good potting shed and what features to look for.
Things to consider when buying a potting shed
Ensure you have a suitable position in your garden – ideally your potting shed should face south if you intend to use it for gardening. Where possible position the potting shed up against a wall to minimise wind exposure.
Have good foundations – whether you opt for a concrete base or slab base, your potting shed must have strong foundations that will easily bear its weight when full. What foundations do I need for my shed will help.
Have your work station at the correct height – whether you work standing up or sitting, make sure your potting bench is at the correct height, to avoid backache.
