Potting benches are beautiful indoors as they are outdoors. This shed potting table is a simple way of ensuring the space is convenient and does not compromise working, display, and storage.

12. Leftover Wood Gardening Bench


With a bit of creativity, leftovers can be up-cycled into something elegant and functional. I especially love the layered design on the wood. Not to mention, the top shelf allows for decoration and pots.

Depending on the amount of leftover wood you have, make as many shelves as you can.

13. Repurposed Potting Bench


Storage will no longer be an issue with such a long repurposed bench. Can’t find one to re-purpose? Don’t worry, all you have to do is get enough wood and nails, and you will have one in no time.

Go all out on the paint or choose a color that blends well with your landscape.

The shelves have grid pattern panels at the back to keep your gardening tools and pots from falling.

16. Cable Drum Board Potting Bench


This 48.5-inch high cable drum board comes with a 60-inch diameter built-in potting table. It is a great out-of-the-box idea for a potting bench. It’s a unique and welcoming view in your porch, especially with healthy greenery or vibrant and bright flowers.
