Albany Dual Potting Shed

A clever blend of storage and growing space, the Albany Dual Potting Shed is designed for gardeners who want practicality without compromise. With its generous front‑facing sloping windows and dedicated potting area, it creates the perfect environment for nurturing seedlings, overwintering plants, and keeping tools neatly organised — all in one thoughtfully arranged building.

Built with 15mm tongue & groove cladding, sturdy framing, and Albany’s signature thicker‑than‑average materials, this potting shed offers long‑lasting durability and a warm, bright workspace. The dual‑purpose layout means you can sow, store, and shelter with ease, making it a brilliant choice for both hobby gardeners and seasoned growers.

Customisable options allow you to tailor the layout, glazing, and finish to suit your garden and workflow, while the compact footprint ensures it fits beautifully into a wide range of outdoor spaces.

NOTE ** Albany buildings are made from a mixture of whitewood and redwood, and require annual treatment with a solvent-based wood preservative, and should be treated within the first 6 – 12 months of installation, and then annually from then on. All hardwood doors & windows must be painted as soon as possible after installation with at least two coats of wood preservative **

Installation & Base Requirements

We offer installation on Albany buildings (location dependent), giving you a stress‑free experience from start to finish.

To enable installation, your building must sit on a flat, level, firm base made from paving slabs or concrete. The base should:

• Match the size of the building (can be larger, but never smaller) – please note that bases larger than the building can cause rainwater to build up around, and under the floor of the building, which can lead to the timber rotting. 
• Be completely flat & level to a spirit level standard, with no drainage slope
• Sit at least 2 inches above ground level to avoid ground water running underneath

** It is the customer’s responsibility to provide a suitable base for their building, with clear and safe access **

Bearers

Bearers can be added to your order at an additional cost. Bearers are pressure treated / tanalised timbers that raise a shed up off the ground to prevent the floor from getting damp and rotting. They need to be laid on flat, level, compact surface such as paving slabs/concrete).  Bearers should be used if the base is larger than the footprint of the building, or if there is restricted airflow around the building, (i.e. a fence or wall very close to the shed) to avoid rainwater building up and sitting against the floor of the building.

Clearance requirements

We recommend at least 18″ of clearance around the building for installation, airflow, and future maintenance. On Albany buildings, we can install with 12″ clearance to up to two adjacent sides. If your requirements are less than this, please get in contact so we can advise.
