Our Platinum Potting Sheds and Greenhouses are extremely popular with the gardener as they have been carefully designed with their needs in mind. We offer a choice of several distinct styles however, no matter which style suits your garden the best, 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.
It’s always good to make use of your garden and you can’t beat the beautiful taste of fresh produce from YOUR garden so a potting shed is a good investment.
However, you need to be a little careful in your choice to ensure you won’t be disappointed as there are many ‘cheap’ sheds available there for you to choose from.
These buildings are some of the best available. So before choosing a new one for your garden you need to check out the specifications beforehand. In particular, the type of timber it is made from, whether any OSB board is used, and the general build quality. Check the competition out against the spec on our buildings.

BUILDING STYLES
Alresford – Our best-selling potting shed and one which truly has it all: a traditional apex roof (either fully boarded or with half of the roof benefiting from a choice of either PVC or toughened glass glazing for maximum light) combined with an opening window in each gable end, a sturdy stable door and a strong slatted bench. A truly outstanding building.
