The What Do We Call It?

Last year I had an idea of how to replace the rotting garden table I was using for potting and hardening off plants.  

 I had an idea about using the double glazing units that were taken out when we replaced our bedroom and front bay windows.  

I made a little sketch and showed it to Will Fixit, who has spent the past two days creating something even posher than I imagined.   

The main carcass is new wood and flooring but the glass is from our old window and the top shelf uses old oven shelves, so shade will be minimised when they are not in use.   

The left over glazed units will be leant against this shelf to give added protection to seedlings on the main middle work surface shelf.  The bottom shelf is for storage and cat-shelter: the glazed units will give an added wall to that in the winter.

 

I am well pleased.

 

We're trying to think of a name for it.   

Will Fixit favours potting station.  

Fester wants to call it the potting shed, but it isn't a shed.  

I'm told I can't call it the potting pergola because you can't walk through it, it isn't arched and there's nothing growing over it 

(yet - next door's ivy will have a good go).   

Any suggestions?  Clean and suitable for a family audience, obviously.

Mrs Quilt He likes a challenge! Nice satisfying small filler job for him, space for more seedlings for you. Result all round:  Potting shelter seeing as the cats are catered for.
