Description
There's no doubt as to why the Rook 8ft x 12ft Potting Shed is so popular with keen gardeners who need a large light space to sow and propagate plants.
Sunlight floods into the shed from a roof that's half glazed and growing conditions remain ideal due to automatic vents that operate even when you are away from home. Also fitted is an end window that introduces more fresh air.
A long lifespan is guaranteed as Swallow are the only manufacturers to construct all their garden buildings from ThermoWood®, Scandinavian timber that has been heat-treated to remove moisture and resin. The result is extremely durable and very resistant to warp and decay even without preservatives.
The toughened 4mm glazing is sealed and staging located at the front of the shed is fitted as standard. Shelves at the rear can be added to and if you are an enthusiastic re-cycler, there's a rainwater collection system available as an option.
Read up on our guide for the benefits of Thermwood® greenhouses.
Dimensions do not include any applicable overhang or guttering, so please ensure that there is sufficient space around your proposed greenhouse base without obstruction, for it to be sited and installed successfully.
Note: Larger 8ft x 14ft and smaller 8ft x 10ft versions of this potting shed are available.
Please Note: Imagery may show greenhouses of a different size and with optional extras that must be purchased separately. A suitable flat, level and sturdy base must be prepared before the delivery / Installation date to ensure a hassle-free installation.

Unfortunately, Swallow greenhouses cannot be delivered and installed to areas of Scotland above 15 miles North of Glasgow, Scottish Highlands, Offshore Islands and Isles, Northern Ireland, or the Republic of Ireland.
Delivery Period
Delivery will typically be made within 5 - 6 weeks for standard Thermowood and/or Oiled frames, and 10 weeks for painted frames.

All Swallow greenhouses are crafted to order, so may be extended during busy times of the year.
Bespoke Product Procedure
This product range is made to order on an order-by-order basis, therefore is exempt from our usual cancellation and returns policy. Any cancellations after your order has started production may not be able to be cancelled or may be subject to cancellation charges. Although a very rare occurrence, this does not affect any orders that arrive damaged or faulty, whereby our normal terms on receiving a faulty product will apply.
Vehicles We Use
Items will be delivered on larger lorries which can get to most places it's typically, a 7.5-ton lorry which is about the size of a dustbin lorry, this will depend on the item that is being delivered and should you have any concerns with restricted access to your property we ask you to contact us prior to placing an order.
Unloading Of Your Delivery
Back garden access is required from the front of the property, as due to the size of the product and the large sections that they are delivered in, the installation/delivery team are unable to carry these items inside your home as the sections are unlikely to pass through standard indoor door sizes. When the item is delivered on a pallet, the pallet and packaging are non-returnable. Goods can only be maneuvered on a flat and level surface (i.e. not a gravel driveway) by a pallet truck. If the installation/delivery team is unable to gain access to the installation area from the front of the property, they may not be able to complete the installation, and a cancellation charge may apply.
A suitable, flat, and level base must be prepared prior to the delivery and installation - please ensure that this is pre-prepared prior to the arrival of your greenhouse and the installation team.
