Product Details

The Swallow Rook 8x8 Painted Potting Shed combines serious growing capability with practical storage in one well-built structure. A part-glazed roof floods the interior with light. Installation and delivery are included at no extra cost.

Every pane is 3mm toughened glass, fitted into purpose-cut grooves in the frame and fixed with quality silicone. This keeps glazing secure and weather-tight. The inward-opening door comes fitted with a mortise lock as standard on every unit we install.

Both roof vents are paired with Bayliss XL autovents. These open automatically when temperatures rise, protecting your plants even when you are away from the garden. A full-length slatted staging run gives you a dedicated work surface and plant storage along one side.

The Rook's layout puts growing space and storage side by side without compromise. Full-length staging sits alongside 2 rear shelves, giving you organised space for tools and trays. ThermoWood timber backs a 12 Year Warranty, and professional installation is included with every order.
