Potting Shed Plans: Build Your Own Dream Potting Shed
What do you need in a potting shed?
A potting shed is not necessarily complicated to build. It is generally be a very simple building. At the least it needs to hold your planting supplies and tools. Your potting shed doesn’t really even have to be big enough for you to enter it.
If you do plan to build your shed spacious enough to enter, I recommend a window as it will bring in natural light that will make the space more pleasant. Natural light is a must have if you plan on spending time potting inside the shed.
Shelves for pot, seed, and soil storage will be useful. Also, consider having a book shelf for any magazines, growing guides, and gardening books.
It goes without saying that a workbench should be included. When building your own potting shed you can determine how tall you want your bench to be; they are usually thirty-four inches.
Additions
One of the best things about gardening is being outdoors. You can extend your shed's roof to make an overhang and install a potting bench beneath it. This will make a pleasant place to work as potting sheds can become uncomfortably hot in the summer.
Add a pegboard over your potting bench and inside of the shed. This keeps those many loose small tools straight. Also plan a wall for hanging your larger tools. It is neither safe nor efficient to lean them all in a corner.
Different plants like different soils. It is useful to have perlite, vermiculite, sand, and potting soil available. The same goes for fertilizer. Having an area designed to store these is a good idea. I recommend using Rubbermaid containers instead of just keeping the original bags. Purchase matching stacking containers to make better use of your space.
Consider having running water at your potting shed. A nearby hose will give you a good place to clean tools before putting them away, not to mention watering-in newly planted seedlings.
While not a necessity, running electricity to your potting shed is another thing to consider. You may want to keep a small refrigerator for storing bulbs long term and for cold drinks! Having light available for those late night planting projects is useful also.
One great addition is a small cold frame against the sunniest side of your potting shed. Old windows work great as a lid or you could purchase some pains of glass. Cold frames will give you a jump start your growing season.
Potting Shed Plans
Building a basic shed from plans is pretty easy. A few adjustments will help you create a potting shed that all your gardening friends will be sure to envy!

M. F. K. Fisher among the Pots and Pans $19.95 From her very first book, Serve It Forth, M.F.K. Fisher wrote about her ideal kitchen. In her subsequent publications, she revisited the many kitchens she had known and the foods she savored in them to express her ideas about the art of eating. M.F.K. Fisher among the Pots and Pans, interspersed with recipes and richly illustrated with original watercolors, is a retrospective of Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher's life as it unfolded in those homey settingsfrom Fisher's childhood in Whittier, California, to the kitchens of Dijon, where she developed her taste for French foods and wines; from the idyllic kitchen at Le Paquis to the isolation of her home in Hemet, California; and finally to her last days in the Napa and Sonoma Valleys. M.F.K. Fisher was a solitary cook who interpreted the scenario of a meal in her own way, and M.F.K. Fisher among the Pots and Pans provides a deeply personal glimpse of a woman who continues to mystify even as she commands our attention. |
