Product Details

The 8ft x 18ft Rook Potting Shed combines genuinely practical growing space with dedicated storage. A part-glazed roof floods the interior with light. Delivery and installation are included at no extra cost.

Every unit is fitted with 3mm toughened glass as standard. The glazing sits within purpose-cut frame grooves and is sealed with quality silicone. An inward-opening door with a mortise lock is fitted to every building as standard.

All four roof vents come with a Bayliss XL autovent as standard. These open automatically when temperatures rise, protecting plants when nobody is on site. A full-length slatted staging bench runs along one side, giving you a solid surface for potting and plant care.

This building is designed to give you both growing room and organised storage in a single structure. The full-length staging sits alongside 2 rear shelves, giving multiple levels of usable space. The timber carries a 12 Year Warranty, and fitting is included in the purchase price as standard on all British-built Swallow structures.
