Description
Passionate gardeners will find nurturing and growing an impressive number of plants in the Swallow 8ft x 16ft rook potting shed to be a very satisfying experience, whilst the shed section allows for storing those gardening tools and accessories.
Swallow build all their greenhouses with ThermoWood®, so the potting shed will be an incredibly useful resource for a very long time. The timber has been heat-treated to eliminate moisture and resin, so the resultant wood is extremely durable and resists warping and decay.
Glazing to the front and above allows in a considerable amount of light and this, in addition to the cool circulation of air from automatic roof vents, will create a wonderful environment in which your seedlings and plants will flourish.
Staging, running the length of the shed, is fitted as standard. It will provide space on which to sow seed and pot on plants and a useful storage area below. At the rear are shelves on which to keep small gardening items. You can add an extra shelf as an option together with a high-level shelf above the staging.
Keen recyclers will know that rainwater is preferable to the tap variety, so why not fix optional guttering and a downpipe to collect it. Store some in the potting shed so that it is room temperature before sprinkling on your appreciative plants.

Delivery Information
Delivery & Installation Overview
Where We Can Deliver To As Standard -
Inclusive delivery and installation is available to the majority of mainland England, Wales and Scotland up to a maximum of 15 miles further North of Glasgow.
Where We Can Deliver To That Requires An Additional Surcharge -
An additional surcharge will be applicable for Swallow greenhouse delivery and installations to areas of Scotland above 15 miles North of Glasgow or the Scottish Highland, if the location is available to service, and isn't part of our exceptions listed below. For serviceable locations, the surcharge price can be found under the ‘Delivery & Install Options’ above, and this option will need to be selected upon ordering.
Where We Are Unable To Deliver To -
Unfortunately, delivery and installation cannot be carried out to the following locations:
- All IV Postcodes
- All HS, KV, ZE Postcodes
- All PA Postcodes
- Limited PH Postcodes
- KA27 and KA28 Postcodes
- Any Other Offshore Islands and Isles
- Northern Ireland
- Republic of Ireland
Delivery & Installation Timeframe
*Delivery and installation will typically be made within 5 - 6 weeks to the majority of locations, and up to 8 weeks to North Scotland and Devon & Cornwall.
Delivery timeframes start from when confirmation has been submitted that your base area is prepared and ready for installation of your new greenhouse, and not from the date of your order being placed.
Both the delivery of your new greenhouse and the installation service will be completed at the same time and so the installation team will be the ones to deliver your greenhouse when they arrive to install it.
All Swallow greenhouses are crafted to order, so maybe 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 or rebooking charge may apply.
Base Preparation
A suitable, flat, and level base must be prepared prior to the arrangement of delivery and installation, which can affect the delivery and installation timeframe - so please ensure that this is pre-prepared as soon as possible so that your greenhouse can begin production. The installation team will contact you approx 3 weeks in advance and will request a photo of the proposed installation area before being able to confirm a delivery and installation date. This is to ensure that the area is ready and suitable, ensuring successful installation on the day.
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.
