Our Platinum Potting Sheds are extremely popular with the gardener as they have been carefully designed with their needs in mind. The main purpose of this type of building is growing. Still, we appreciate that someone with such a keen interest in the garden doesn’t want an ugly building blighting the sanctuary of their garden.
Hence, we offer a choice of two distinct styles which will fit comfortably in any setting.
Whichever model you choose, you can be assured that we fit as much glass as possible to ensure that the maximum amount of light floods in to help your plants develop. A strong workbench is fitted beneath the windows as standard, and we fit a sturdy, stable door in every building to ensure it remains a comfortable workplace.

Alresford – versatile building with a half-glazed roof for maximum light. All models offer optional stable doors in the end wall and a bench beneath the windows within the side wall; however, alternatives, such as partitions, are always possible. To create a separate storage shed if desired.
