Product Details

The Rook 8ft x 12ft Painted Potting Shed is a serious grower's building. A part-glazed roof floods the interior with light, while the rear section keeps tools and supplies neatly organised. Price includes full installation and delivery.

Every Rook is fitted with 3mm toughened glass as standard. Each pane sits in purpose-cut frame grooves and is fixed with quality silicone. The inward-opening door carries a mortise lock on every unit we fit.

Both roof vents come fitted with Bayliss XL autovents. These open automatically when temperatures rise, protecting your plants whether you are present or not. A full-length slatted staging bench runs down one side, giving a firm surface for potting and plant care.

This building balances growing space with practical storage from the ground up. The 520mm wide, 745mm high staging sits at the front, and 2 rear shelves add further capacity behind. ThermoWood timber carries a 12 Year Warranty, and installation is included in the purchase price.
