Edinburgh's allotments need tough, compact sheds that store tools securely, provide potting space, and offer shelter from sudden showers. Our allotment sheds are built with the same pressure treated timber and heavy-duty construction as our garden sheds — but sized and featured for allotment life.

Key Features & Benefits
Allotment-Sized
Compact 6×4 and 8×4 designs comply with most Edinburgh allotment association size limits while maximising storage.
Secure Tool Storage
Reinforced door with quality locks protects valuable tools. Windowless options prevent temptation on unattended plots.
Built-In Shelving
Deep shelves for seed trays, pots, chemicals, and small tools. Hooks for larger implements. Everything organised and dry.
Pressure Treated Timber
Allotment sheds face harsh weather exposure. Tanalised timber handles years of rain, frost, and UV without rotting.
Easy Transport
We can build sheds in sections for sites with limited vehicular access — common on Edinburgh's hillside and urban allotments.
Potting Bench Option
A fold-down or permanent workbench for potting, seed sowing, and general plot tasks. Essential for serious allotmenteers.
Allotment Sheds vs Edinburgh Weather
Allotment sheds face tougher conditions than garden sheds. They're often on exposed, elevated sites with no surrounding buildings to break the wind. Edinburgh's allotments at Inverleith, Warriston, and Craigentinny are particularly exposed.
Our allotment sheds use the same construction standards as our heaviest-duty garden sheds. Pressure treated timber, heavy-duty roofing felt, and secure fixings ensure the shed stays solid season after season.
Security is also a weather issue — poorly maintained sheds become easier to break into as timber weakens. Pressure treatment maintains structural integrity and security for years.
Problems Our Allotment Sheds Solve
Tools Getting Stolen
Allotment theft is a persistent problem in Edinburgh. A secure shed with reinforced doors and no windows is far better than a padlocked cupboard.
No Shelter on the Plot
Edinburgh's weather changes fast. A shed gives you somewhere to shelter during sudden downpours and a dry space for potting and seed starting.
Allotment Association Rules
Most Edinburgh allotment associations have shed size limits. Our compact designs meet these restrictions while maximising the available space.
Installation Process
We start by checking your allotment association's shed size and style rules. We then visit the plot to measure the space and check access.
For allotments with good vehicular access, installation is a half-day job. For sites with limited access, we build in sections and assemble on site — typically one day.
We can install on existing paving, compacted gravel, or new bearers. The base solution depends on your plot's ground conditions.
