Birtsmorton

The Birtsmorton is a double sided garden potting shed, a stunning workspace for plant propagation. Manufactured by hand to order using the highest quality materials, our experienced shed builders at Worcester Timber Products have designed this model with a twist on the traditional potting shed.  Made to order, the Birtsmorton has from a pent roof, stable door finished with industry leading ironmongery, but benefits from a large amount of windows down each side, with four opening to allow optimal airflow. With integrated shelf under the windows and along the wall space ensures a practical working area and storage underneath.  A great greenhouse and shed rolled into one!

Customers in zone 1 and zone 2 of our standard delivery area benefit from complimentary installation.

The Holberrow, a similar model to the Birtsmorton is on display in our showgarden.

Construction and materials

The heavy-duty construction means that our sheds are more rigid, more weatherproof and have a longer lifespan. The framework is robust, using 70 x 50mm (3 x 2) rounded planed timber providing a smooth professional finish to the interior of the shed. With premium cladding, the interlocking tongue and groove boards slot together to provide a seamless appearance whilst the additional protective lip helps rain run off quickly. The cladding has a smooth and attractive finish and can be treated or painted to make it a focal point to any garden or outdoor space. Each length of cladding is double nailed using stainless steel nails for extra strength and durability. To ensure a high-quality economical weatherproofing membrane, all our sheds are installed with 24kg Polyester charcoal shed felt as standard. The polyester results in a stronger and more durable product compared with standard shed felt, and it also increases life expectancy of the product. Key materials used are a 22 x 125mm (Finished 19 x 120mm) matchboard for the floor, 16 x 125mm (Finished 12 x 120mm) matchboard for the roof and door, and 16 x 125mm (Finished 12 x 120mm) shiplap cladding.

To control the heat and light, PERSPEX® clear cast acrylic is used which has outstanding clarity, a high gloss surface and is exceptionally hard wearing. It is superior to all other thermoplastic sheet and higher than that of glass with virtually no colour bias.  Two windows are opening.

Timber Treatment

All timber has been pressure treated to protect against rot and decay. With knowledge and expertise from the team at Worcester Timber Products, we would recommend further protecting your investment by selecting a Natural oil wood stain by OSMO which highlights the grains of the wood and provides longevity. Two coats are recommended by the manufacturer. With a microporous and breathable silver metallic finish for exterior wood, it is water repellent, weather and UV resistant, and enhances protection against mould, algae, and fungal attack. Other products to consider are OSMO Country Colour which is a Eco-friendly satin wood finish for exterior timber or a UV Protection Oil which is Clear satin protection against harmful UV rays.  Ask us about our Painting Service.
