What are pent roof sheds?

Merriam Webster Dictionary defines pent roof sheds as “a shed with a roof sloping one way only”. Pent roof sheds are flat and only have one slope, they are also often alternatively known as flat roof sheds or mono-pitched sheds.

In the vast majority of cases, the highest point of the slope of the roof is above the entrance door, with the roof sloping down to allow rainwater to escape.

Are garden pent sheds considered to be contemporary?

Even though pent roof sheds are known to have originated centuries ago, they are considered by furniture retailers and design specialists to be “contemporary” or “modern” in design. This is primarily due to their sleek lines.

Generally, Apex sheds are considered to be “traditional” or “classic” in style. Of course, it is each customer whose views matter and “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”. So, buy what appeals to you, first and foremost, whilst understanding that buying a pent shed is considered to be a contemporary style of shed.

What are the advantages of pent sheds?

Here are some benefits to consider when considering buying garden pent sheds:

• Compactness – they are ideal for smaller gardens. They can easily be situated under a tree or up against a wall or fence. With Apex roofs requiring more height they are less compact
• Contemporary/modern – as we said previously, a pent shed is contemporary and modern in style. This is an advantage if this is your preference
• Drainage – the pent roof is sloped and specifically designed to drain off rainwater
• Walk-in access – as the tallest section is at the front of a pent shed, it provides ease of walk-in access

Shedstore has over twenty five different sizes of pent sheds for sale. The most popular sizes though are 6' x 4', 7' x 5', 8' x 6', 10' x 6', 10' x 8', and 12' x 8'.
