Potting Sheds

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.
