    The one in question in the photos is 2k to buy which is beyond my budget sadly. :(

    I have a pretty small garden and wanted to get a shed but also wanted to have some place to grow plants like a glasshouse so I figure a potting shed is the most suitable compromise for what I want.

    Anyone know where I might be able to source one?
    The one below is
    12.25 feet x 7.91 feet

    This seems to be the best I can find so far at a very reasonable price and they'll ship to Ireland for very little

    Have you tried B&Q. Not sure if they have anything the same design as that but they may have a reasonable compromise.

    I checked out diy.com (B&Q's website) nothing suitable or within budget sadly, they did have one for £1600 but its likely ALOT more expensive in Ireland and its too big

    the B&Q sheds are muck unless your spending big money.

    I like the one you've linked to Cabaal, but would you no think of building it yourself? Its not as hard as it looks, and you can proper customise it to suit your need

    I'll grow plants, I'll floor my attic and I'll do electrical stuff but I don't think I could pull of making a shed :)

    I do have a brother in law who could though so I might have a chat to him and see what he'd do for a few hundred euro's :)

    I liked the one in my first post as the glass came down lower then the waltons one but for the price I can't complain about the waltons one tbh

    I found this crowd in Dublin who do a potting shed for 800e odd
    more expensive but the glass comes down much much lower which would give more light

    Here's the 6x6 model

    Doesn't look great and I like the idea of the half n half barn door on the other shed

    Thanks,
    Actually looks pretty good but tad expensive at £900 or 1030e and thats if Homebase Ireland don't add on crazy amounts onto that :(

    If they shipped to Ireland I may consider it but it gives me ideas if I was going to get one built so its actually pretty helpful.

    Thanks for finding that, very good price alright.
    Only in Wicklow so hopefully they might have some sort of showroom

    I'd be looking at either 8x6 or 8x8 I'd say and both we well priced
