6′ x 6′ Traditional Wooden Potting Garden Shed with 6′ Gable (1.83m x 1.83m)
Overview
Designed with keen gardeners in mind, this 6′ x 6′ potting shed features a raised 6′ gable end, giving extra headroom at the front of the building where you are most likely to be standing at a potting bench or working with taller plants. It is a compact building, but the extra height at the gable makes it feel far more usable than a standard pent shed of the same footprint.
This shed suits anyone who wants a dedicated space to pot up plants, store compost and tools, and keep seed trays protected from the weather, without taking up a large area of the garden.
Key Features
- 6′ x 6′ footprint with a raised 6′ gable end for extra headroom
- Traditional shiplap style timber cladding
- Single front door for easy access
- Windows fitted to maximise natural light for potting work
- Solid timber frame built for everyday garden use
Roof Types
The roof on this potting shed rises to a 6′ gable at the front, which lifts the roofline above standard eaves height on that side. This gives noticeably more headroom close to the door, where a potting bench is typically positioned, while the roof still sheds water effectively to the rear.
Dimensions
- Width: 6′ (1.83m)
- Depth: 6′ (1.83m)
- Gable height: 6′ at the front elevation
- Approximate floor area: 36 sq ft (3.35 sqm)
Construction
Built from solid timber with shiplap style cladding to the walls, this shed is constructed to a sturdy specification that copes well with the typical demands of potting work, including shelving, hanging tool racks and bags of compost stacked on the floor.
Treatment & Guarantee
The timber arrives factory treated to offer initial protection against the British weather. We recommend giving the shed a further coat of good quality timber treatment once it is built, and repeating this annually, to keep it weatherproof and looking its best for years ahead.
Doors & Windows
A single door is fitted to the front elevation, complete with hinges and a hasp and staple for a padlock. Windows are built into the design to bring in plenty of natural light, which is particularly useful when working closely with plants and seedlings.
Assembly Information
Supplied as a flat pack kit with pre cut panels, this shed is typically built by two people over a weekend using standard tools such as a drill, hammer, spirit level and ladder. A firm, level base is required beforehand, as the building should never be erected directly onto soil or grass.
Delivery Information
Delivery is handled by a pallet carrier, who brings the kit to the kerbside or driveway. Please have help on hand to move the panels into the garden, as drivers cannot carry loads beyond the vehicle.
Optional Upgrades
Shelving kits, extra windows, upgraded felt and a painting or staining service can often be added at checkout.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a 6′ gable mean?
It means the roofline is raised to 6′ at the front of the building, giving extra headroom close to the door compared with a standard pent roof shed.
Is this shed suitable just for potting, or general storage too?
It works well for both. The gable headroom suits potting bench work, while the floor space is equally useful for compost, pots and general tools.
Do I need to treat the timber myself?
Yes, in addition to the factory treatment, an annual coat of preservative is recommended to maintain weatherproofing.
Is a larger potting shed available in this range?
Yes, the 8′ x 8′ potting shed with 6′ gable offers a larger footprint. For a Sun Pent roofline on the same footprint, see the 6′ x 6′ Shiplap Sun Pent 6′ Gable shed.
