Pent Sheds

Pent sheds have a single sloping roof rather than the apex's twin pitch. The slope sends rainwater toward one wall, which is why pent sheds usually sit against a fence or boundary; that wall is wherever the water heads. They give less peak headroom than an apex but are easier to position close to a house wall or outbuilding because the lower edge fits under eaves and over-fascia. Standard pent sizes start at 6x4 and 7x5 for tool storage, scaling to 12x8 and 14x6 for the larger lawnmower-and-bicycle layouts. Aosom UK runs the budget end (£152 up); Buy Sheds Direct handles the £200-£10,000 range covering everything from basic tongue-and-groove to overlap-clad pieces with double doors and side windows. Cherry Lane Garden Centres focuses on the £400-£1,500 mid-bracket. The grid below filters by size, roofing felt, floor and lock type so you can size before clicking buy.
