Shire Sun Pent Shiplap Potting Shed

Think that a shed is a shed is a shed? Think again. The Sun Pent Shiplap Shed is one of our most popular sheds for a number of very good reasons.

First, it looks great in any garden setting with its attractive and stylish design. This is partly due to the five fixed windows along the front of the shed which allow in plenty of natural light. It also has two opening windows so you can control the internal temperature with ease. The windows make the Sun Pent more than a shed, they turn it into the ideal potting shed. Seed sewing is always an enjoyable part of gardening and you will gain even more pleasure working at the full length workbench, which comes as standard, in a weatherproof shed. The Sun Pent will protect your vulnerable plants until the weather is suitable for outdoor planting or you can grow potted plants all year round.

Secondly, this is not a flimsy shed, but one which is built to withstand the elements. Made from high quality spruce, which is more durable than pine, the 12mm shiplap tongue and groove walls, floor and roof will last for years. And there’s a ten year anti-rot guarantee for extra reassurance and a rim lock and key for security.

Thirdly, this shed can be painted; choose a striking colour and give some life to a mundane area of your garden, or stick to a conventional shade so that your shed blends into the background. A coat of paint will give even greater protection to the timber.

The combination of quality materials and plenty of natural light gives the building even more uses than a potting shed. Some customers have bought the larger sized Sun Pent for hobbies which require attention to detail such as model making or painting, and we’ve even heard of it being used as a hide to watch birds. The floor joists are strong enough to take more than average loads so you can store a range of materials and even some machinery.

Overall, the Sun Pent Potting Shed offers so much more than a conventional shed. Available in four sizes at an affordable price, the shed can be delivered within 14-21 working days and delivery is free for most mainland areas. Order yours today!

Buy an Elite Greenhouse Now and Beat the February Price Increase

Greenhouses are a great investment for both keen gardeners and gardening novices. A greenhouse will take your passion to a new level or nurture the seedling of a hobby.

First and foremost, a greenhouse offers protection for your plants, many of which would not survive the cold months without over-wintering. Instead of leaving them to brave the cold winds or snow outside, why not bring your more delicate plants into a warm greenhouse and ensure they’ll last through to the next year? This will save you time and money because you won’t have to sow new seeds again next year.

A greenhouse also allows you to grow your own vegetables, another wallet saving strategy! Freshly grown vegetables have a great taste and as the producer, you have control and can be certain that you’re not eating any pesticides or other chemicals with your Sunday roast. You also have the freedom to choose what to grow, so you can experiment with more exotic fruits or grow out of season vegetables and enjoy your favourites all year round.  If you really take to it, why not consider selling at a farmers’ market and recoup the cost of your greenhouse week by week?

With so many reasons to buy a greenhouse, surely the only thing left to consider is its size and colour? Browse the Elite greenhouse collection, which includes freestanding and lean-to greenhouses in a choice of coloured or aluminium finish, and find the perfect model for your garden.

Elite’s greenhouse prices are increasing by 10% on 1^st February 2017, so you need to order by 31^st January to beat the price increase.
