Greenhouse Shed Combinations

Potting Shed Greenhouses

Are you wondering whether you should put up a greenhouse or a shed? Why not build a traditional wooden potting shed! These cute and practical structures are the perfect mixture of greenhouse and storage shed offering you the best of both worlds.

Shelves on one side and glass greenhouse windows on the other make for the ideal space. Use the boarded side with functional shelves to store all your tools, containers, fertilizer and other gardening equipment. On the opposite side, your plants will thrive in the greenhouse-like area.

What is a Greenhouse Shed?

A greenhouse shed is a garden building design to offer the capabilities of both a greenhouse (with growing plants in maximum lighting and heat) and a shed (with excellent storage capacity and organisation). They often have generous headroom, and are made from durable materials like treated timber, designed to stand the test of time.

Glazing

Toughened Glass

Toughened safety glass means your greenhouse will be durable. Toughened safety glass looks just like traditional glass allowing in all the natural light your plants require. This high-quality glass is stronger than traditional glass making it the most popular choice in greenhouses.

Horticultural Glass

If you are looking for an inexpensive option, go with horticultural glass. Beware that horticulture glass is not as strong as toughened safety glass and if it breaks it will shatter and potentially cause injuries. 

Polycarbonate Glazing

If your goal is to make your wooden greenhouse as safe as possible use polycarbonate glazing. Polycarbonate glazing is not glass so it will not shatter like glass will. However, be aware that you will lose some of the crystal-clear clarity of glass with this type of glazing. 

Accessories

It is easy to add any of the following accessories to your greenhouse shed or lean to greenhouse.

Ventilation

Considering how your greenhouse will be ventilated is an important step. Control the heat to your greenhouse by adding roof vents or automatic vent openers. We also have louvre vents and auto louvre vents available as well.

Heating

If you are interested in growing plants year-round, we have several heaters to choose from.

Shelving/Staging

We offer a selection of greenhouse shelving and staging when you're on the product page, and you can choose between 5 slat and 2 slat shelving options. These are ideal for extra storage of plants and pots.

Can you convert a shed into a greenhouse?

It is possible to convert a garden shed into a greenhouse and there are several different ways to approach this project.

Start by ensuring that your shed is in good enough condition to bother with this project. If the answer is yes, you now have some decisions to make. One of the most important is what type of glazing will you use? Polycarbonate, horticultural glass, toughened glass, fibreglass or plastic? The easiest materials to work with for this type of project will be sheet plastic or fibreglass panels. Whatever you choose, you will need to get rid of the old roof shingles as well as the guttering, and capping. Instead of shingles, you will want to cover the roof with your translucent material and secure it tightly under the roof frame. Alternatively, you could consider installing fibreglass panels by simply attaching them to your existing studs and rafters. Fibreglass panels can be easily cut using a saw blade.

The next step is to remove the siding and replace it with translucent material. If you are using plastic, measure it out first and cut it long enough to wrap tightly around the perimeter of your shed. Use the siding you removed to secure the bottom and make it look nicer. In the summer, you could leave two opposite sections of your greenhouse open to provide ventilation. Fibreglass panels or another type of translucent material may be used in place of plastic. 

Reviews

Here are a small selection of the thousands of reviews we've had:

Sherrie, 02/09/2020 Reviewed the Swallow 6'-8 x 4'-3 Kingfisher

"Had to wait (understandably) a while for my greenhouse due to the lockdown rush. However, Swallow kept me informed of progress and my greenhouse arrived when promised. The installation team were incredibly helpful, efficient and polite and made sure that I was happy before they left. The greenhouse, which I chose in Bracken Green is beautiful and also functional. I absolutely love it and would recommend a Swallow Greenhouse to anyone."

Matthew, 16/03/2017 Reviewed the Swallow 8'-9 x 8'-4 Raven

"Fantastic build quality, the shed extension is brilliant, and the attention to detail is first class. The thermowood look and feel makes it look more expensive than it is and certainly competes with some RHS 'certified' versions where you will pay 4 x the price! The large building was erected in less than 4 hours and the guys arrived promptly."

Ray, 03/06/2020 Reviewed the Swallow 8'-9 x 8'-4 Rook Potting Shed

"The potting shed was delivered on the arranged date, and erected very efficiently. I am delighted with the design, quality, workmanship and functionality of this shed/greenhouse, which complements my existing greenhouse."
