Pent Sheds

What is a Pent Shed?

A pent shed is distinguished by its single sloping roof. The highest point of the roof is usually located on the same side as the door offering the maximum height available. 

If you have a reverse pent shed, the highest point of your single sloping roof will be on the opposite side of the door. 

Typically, our pent garden buildings feature tongue and groove cladding, however, upon request, we can design your shed with shiplap or overlap cladding. As standard, your pent building will include a T&G roof and floor, as well as, 47x35 eased edge treated framework and joinery made window frames with cills & 4mm toughened glass. 

To ensure the roof of your shed remains intact, our buildings are designed with a high-quality polyester green mineral felt which can be upgraded if you wish. Your roof has the greatest exposure to weather so it’s important to put protective measures in place to maintain its functionality.

Pent shed or apex shed - which roof is right for you?

One of your toughest decisions when looking to buy a garden shed is what roof is right for you - a pent shed roof or an apex shed roof?

There are important factors to consider before you make the decision and invest in a quality shed. 

The main differences:

• An apex shed has two slopes that meet in the middle with sloped sides making it easy for water to run straight off.
• A pent shed has a single slope with the highest point being the full length along one side. 

An apex shed is a good solution if you’re looking to use your garden shed as a workshop, garden office or home gym as it will provide greater headroom than a wooden pent shed. An apex shed is typically taller in height so is harder to disguise or tuck away within your garden.

A pent should is better suited to storage. Generally speaking, they are more compact in design so can easily be placed under a tree or against a wall, making them more discreet and less intruding in your garden space. 

If you’re looking to use your pent shed as a storage solution, have in mind you will have to store your tall tools and equipment at the front of your shed unless you opt for a reverse pent shed. 

It is also worth noting if your garden shed is less than 2m from your property boundary it must be no taller than 2.5m.
 

Made to measure pent sheds

Our pride and joy lie in creating made to measure pent sheds. We understand that a garden shed has an abundance of uses that will differ for each individual and family, and with that, requires personalisation and customisation. 

Using our online shed designer, you can customise aspects of our standard pent shed to suit your requirements. Whether it’s moving the windows or doors, upgrading the framing, cladding and felt material or adding security features and optional extras to your shed, all can be made possible at Ace Sheds. If one of our existing wooden pent sheds doesn’t tickle your fancy, we love crafting designs from scratch. By sending us a picture or a design of a shed you like, or a list of specifications and requirements, our experienced team can create a design completely unique to you. Only when you’re happy with the final design and elements of the build will it go into manufacture.
