Our Platinum Potting Sheds 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’ buildings 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.
WALLS
Sturdy 47mm x 38mm (44mm x 34mm finished) pressure treated framing which is diagonally braced and screwed together before being clad with your choice of:
• 19mm (15mm finished) pressure treated T&G Shiplap
• 22mm (20mm finished) pressure treated T&G Loglap
FLOOR
All shed and potting shed sections come with a floor constructed from 19mm (15mm finished) pressure treated T&G on 47mm x 47mm pressure treated joists. Greenhouse sections are supplied without floor to aid drainage.
ROOF
• Alton – heavy duty green mineral polyester-based rolled roofing felt atop 16mm (12mm finished) T&G match boarding as standard with an option to upgrade the rolled roofing felt to Onduline.
HEIGHTS
There is a minimum internal eaves height of 1.91m (6’ 3”) on all models with extra height being available if required. All standard external roof heights comply with the 2.5m maximum height restriction imposed when erecting a building under Permitted Development.
BUILDING STYLES
Alton – This is our traditional solar potting shed which benefits from a sloping glass front (incorporating an opening window) with a slatted bench beneath. Medstead – A very popular pent roof building with a modern vertical front to maximise growing space. Again a slatted bench and stable door are standard and there will be an opening window to each end of the building
DOORS
All external doors are 44mm thick and hung on black butt hinges and fitted with a 5-lever mortice lock and black ornate antique door handle.
Alton has a single 0.76m (2’ 6”) wide x 1.78m (5’ 10”) high heavy duty Framed, Ledged and Braced stable door. If desired we can replace the stable door with a part glazed single door at no extra cost.
WINDOWS
Given the nature of the building we purposely design it to feature as much glass as is possible for the given size however, as shown in the photos, the glass does not always extend ‘wall to wall’ for structural reasons.
