FAQs

What materials are best for potting benches?

Most potting tables you see will be wooden. It’s a classic choice which works with almost any garden style, and maintenance isn’t as much of an issue as they’re undercover. You’ll also find metal potting tables which are an even lower-maintenance choice.

How do I maintain a wooden potting bench?

Keeping your wooden potting bench protected with wood paint or varnish will make sure it lasts as long as possible. Keep yours clean by wiping or brushing off dirt and dust, and keep it in a sheltered area without leaks.

Can I build my own potting bench?

There’s nothing stopping you building your own potting bench if you have the tools and knowledge required! However, buying one pre-made means you can take advantage of extras such as drawers and hanging sections which are tricky for beginner DIYers.

What features should I look for in a potting table?

Find a potting table which is the right size, as you want to make sure you can still access the rest of your shed or greenhouse. If you’re after a simple setup, a traditional work bench with legs will do, but having the option of drawers and shelves for storage can make your gardening much easier.
