Product Details

The Rook 8x6 Potting Shed pairs genuine growing capability with practical storage in one well-built unit. A part-glazed roof floods the interior with light, and full installation is included at no extra cost.

Every Rook comes fitted with 3mm toughened glass as standard. Each pane sits in purpose-cut grooves machined into the frame and is then fixed firmly with quality silicone. The inward-opening door carries a mortise lock as standard, giving you solid security without any upgrades needed.

A Bayliss XL autovent is fitted to each roof vent, opening automatically when internal temperatures climb. This protects plants even when nobody is on site. A full-length run of slatted staging gives you a dedicated work surface and a place to keep pots and trays organised.

The Rook design prioritises usable space at every turn. The 520mm wide staging sits at 745mm high, and two rear shelves add further storage behind. ThermoWood timber backs a 12 Year Warranty, and the building arrives fully erected by our fitting team.
