Choosing a potting shed for a small patio or courtyard garden? If you have the perfect spot for a small plant prep area, we have the ideal potting shed for you. Our 6x3 Victorian grow house features a pent roof with vents double-opening doors, and is perfect for positioning against a wall or fence. For those in search of something bigger,  take a look at our 8x6  potting shed with large lean-to styrene windows and an opening window for optimal ventilation. For those looking for versatility, our 8x8 potting shed/storage shed combination unit offers the best of both worlds – plenty of room for plant work with enough storage for all your gardening tools and equipment.

Potting shed materials

Our potting sheds are constructed using the same sustainable and certified timber construction and UK site of manufacture as all our other wooden sheds. We also offer a standard 10-year anti-rot guarantee for your added peace of mind. For glazing, we’ve opted for shatterproof styrene and with quality shiplap construction, our potting sheds are watertight and draught resistant, creating optimal growing conditions for your plants.

Installing a potting shed

To ensure optimum performance and longevity, it’s very important to clear and level the ground before installing your new potting shed. You should always ensure your shed sits on a firm base – for smaller units, a wooden base works fine – you can purchase these along with your potting shed. For larger sheds and potting sheds, a patio slab or concrete base is a much better option. For step-by-step instructions on how to build the right base for your new potting shed, head over to our guide to building a shed base for all the information you need.

Potting sheds - more info

Waltons potting sheds use interlocking shiplap tongue and groove cladding to create a sturdy and stable structure to withstand the elements. The sustainably sourced timber is planed for a smooth finish, and shatterproof styrene windows let light flood in to help plants thrive.

How to use a potting shed

A potting shed is a practical place to sow seeds and grow cuttings. Give yourself easy access to your plants by placing them on shelves or benches. A potting bench is also handy to store spare gardening tools and accessories, such as your pots, compost, seed packets, gardening gloves and trowels. If you’re keeping taller tools protected from the elements, a potting shed offers plenty of storage space.

Where to site a potting shed

A potting shed (like any other garden building) must be on a level shed base made from concrete, wood or patio slabs. Avoid shady spots and install the shed in a sunlit area where large plants, shrubs or trees don’t overshadow it. Place it somewhere convenient with easy access and a south-facing aspect to maximise sunlight.

How to organise a potting shed

Properly organising your potting shed is the best way to optimise space and always know what you have and where. Hooks are handy for small tools that you always seem to misplace. Use wooden or plastic storage boxes to contain open bags of compost and dedicate a spot to seeds for future use. You can also arrange your plants into zones, such as herb and vegetable sections.
