Product Details

The 6ft x 16ft Swallow Jay Painted Potting Shed pairs striking kerb appeal with genuine day-to-day practicality. Part-glazed roof panels flood the interior with light for growing, while the rear section stays solid for organised storage. Delivery and installation are included at no extra cost.

Every unit comes with 3mm toughened glass fitted into purpose-cut frame grooves and secured with quality silicone. That means no loose panes and a safe environment for the whole family. The inward-opening door comes fitted with a mortise lock as standard, giving you proper security from day one.

Two roof vents are each paired with a Bayliss XL autovent. These open automatically when temperatures climb, protecting your plants even when you are away. A full-length run of slatted staging sits along one side, giving you a firm surface for potting work and plant storage.

The Jay's layout is designed to get the most from every square metre. Full-length staging runs the length of the building, and 2 rear shelves add further storage capacity. The timber carries a 12 Year Warranty, and our team installs the building for you, so it is ready to use from the moment we leave site.
