Description
8 x 6 Premium Potting Shed
The 8 x 6 Premium Potting Shed is a great option for gardeners looking for a place for potting plants that also benefits from secure storage. This spacious garden building features a lean-to panel made up of styrene glazed windows that allows light to flood into the interior, perfect for growing plants and produce.
Potting sheds and greenhouses mark an essential milestone in your gardening journey, providing a head start for your seeds and enabling the cultivation of fruits and vegetables that might otherwise struggle to thrive in the UK climate. With the ability to grow year-round and achieve higher yields, greenhouses also offer a delightful and fulfilling hobby that keeps you outdoors throughout the seasons.
Constructed with premium horizontal interlocking tongue and groove boards featuring a shiplap profile, the lower walls of this greenhouse ensure a robust and weatherproof structure. Reinforced by thick wooden framing, this building guarantees durability and longevity.
Equipped with UV resistant styrene glazing and an opening roof vent, the potting shed interior remains bright, airy, and well-ventilated, allowing you to easily regulate the temperature for optimal plant growth. The shatterproof properties of the glazing provide safety, particularly if children are involved in watering the plants, while also resisting discoloration from sunlight exposure.
Our shiplap sheds come with a tongue and groove roof and floor. Hard-wearing and robust, this flooring will easily withstand daily use, such as being utilised as a workshop, and is the ideal option for storing heavier items.

Important Information
What does Dip Treated mean?
During our manufacturing process, we dip treat all our entire range of greenhouses. This involves applying a water based colourant to your garden building, protecting your greenhouse whilst it is in storage and transit. However, it is important to note that this treatment is not a preservative. Therefore, your garden building will still require a high-quality timber preservative and waterproofing top coat as soon as possible after construction.
Where can I find the exact measurements of my garden building?
Before purchasing your new greenhouse be sure to check the specific measurements of its size in the Specification section of the product listing. As often in product titles, we round up measurements just so it’s easier for you to find your perfect garden building.
How will my new greenhouse arrive?
Your new greenhouse will be supplied as a flat-pack DIY kit with full instructions. If you’re taking on the project yourself, be sure to check out our Self-Installation advice page for plenty of helpful tips.
We strongly advise if you are planning on using a third party installer to construct your greenhouse that you do not book their services until you receive and are happy with your garden building. As we do not cover any third party cost in the instance of a failed delivery or a damaged item preventing installation.
Please note that this greenhouse has been dressed to look its very best in our product images. Any accessories or fixtures featured are not supplied with this garden building. Also, unless our Ready Painted and Installation Service is selected all of our greenhouses are delivered unpainted.
Does my new greenhouse come with any guarantees?
As standard, this greenhouse includes a 1 year Manufacturer’s guarantee, as well as a 10 Year Anti-rot Guarantee*. Just make sure to follow the product instructions and our manufacturers recommendations and your guarantee will be good to go.
What does my 10 Year Anti-rot Guarantee cover?
All of our Dip Treated garden buildings benefit from our 10 Year Anti-rot Guarantee. This will cover your garden building against fungal decay as long as the conditions of the gurantee have been followed.
These conditions include treating your new garden building with a high-quality timber preservative and waterproof top coat.Treatments of this sort should be applied as soon as your garden building has been constructed, and reapplied annually thereafter. This will enable you to maintain your 10 Year Anti-rot Guarantee and will keep your greenhouse in tip-top condition!
Please note that our 10 Year Anti-rot Guarantee does not cover your garden building from the movement of timber that takes place over time. This includes; the twisting, warping and splitting of timber.
For more information on our 10 Year Anti-rot Guarantee please refer to our Terms & Conditions.
Does my new greenhouse require planning permission?
We work hard to design all of our garden buildings to adhere to the planning permission guidelines. However, we cannot guarantee that planning permission will not be required. Therefore, before constructing your garden building we advise checking with your local authorities.
What base do I require for my new greenhouse?
A flat, level base is essential when building your new greenhouse. We recommend the following bases; concrete, slab paving, ground-level bearers or a wooden frame.
Prior to building your greenhouse be sure to check your base is level in both directions. If the base of your greenhouse is not level when it is constructed it will cause the building to twist and warp with the natural movement of the timber. Therefore, it is really important to adjust your base accordingly to achieve this before constructing your garden building.
For more information on how to build a suitable base take a look at our handy guide.
How do I care for my new greenhouse?
To ensure your greenhouse stands the test of time it’s important to follow the guidance outlined in your building’s product instructions and Manufacturer’s Recommendations.
We have also created these super handy Maintenance Guides to help you take care of your garden building. They are full of our expert advice and useful tips so you can enjoy your greenhouse for years to come!
However, if you do need any further support, don't worry we are on hand to help. Just give our friendly Customer Service Team a call on 0800 029 1000.
How do I care for my greenhouses Styrene windows?
A clear film is used to protect your Styrene windows. Once your log cabin is installed and treated this will need to be removed. This can be done by simply scoring around the edge of the window and peeling back the plastic covering inside and out.
The windows of our garden buildings are designed to fit well. However, over time due to the natural movement of the timber small gaps can occur. To prevent this from occuring make sure to seal your Styrene windows with a silicone sealant inside and out. To see exactly how to do this, take a look at our Protect Your Shed - Silicone Window Sealant video.
