Potting Sheds

A potting shed is a wooden shed with a window in the long wall and a built-in workbench at waist height, usually next to the door. The gardening side of garden storage. Key specs: window position (north-facing for soft light without scorching seedlings), bench depth (45-60cm for proper potting room), and ventilation (a roof vent or window opener stops humidity building when seeds are propagating). Sizes start at 4x6 for a small-garden potting room up to 10x8 for a serious gardener's working shed. Aosom UK and Buy Sheds Direct cover £4-£3,080 across the breadth of the range; Cherry Lane Garden Centres focuses on £200-£800 wooden potting sheds with proper glazing rather than acrylic panels. Glass beats acrylic on every dimension except weight: clearer light, doesn't scratch, doesn't yellow with UV. Acrylic only earns its keep where the shed is in a children's play zone.
