Part-shed, part-greenhouse and part-workshop, potting sheds are a useful addition to a garden. They’re an excellent spot to get stuck into gardening tasks out of the wind and rain – or harsh sun. Ideally, you could also store your tools inside and leave seedlings to grow by the window whilst protected from the elements.

The best potting sheds have big windows with a raised shelf or work bench behind, as well as room to store your bits and bobs at the back. Lots of manufacturers give you the option to customise your potting shed, adding internal shelving and other useful features.

If you don’t have a standalone shed or greenhouse, it’s worth thinking about how you’ll use your new potting shed. You could opt for one with a large footprint for extra storage, or a combi-shed, which has a greenhouse attached to one side (see our list for different designs).
