Pent Sheds Blackburn

Practical timber pent sheds with a single-sloping roof, supplied for gardens in Blackburn. Call to discuss the space and requirements.

A practical roofline

A pent shed can make good use of a boundary-side position

A pent shed has one roof slope rather than a central ridge. That simple shape can suit a garden where the building sits beside a wall, fence or boundary.

It is a useful choice for everyday storage, garden tools, bikes and equipment. The roof direction, door position and available height are worth considering early, particularly when the shed will sit close to another structure.

Every shed and summerhouse comes with free local installation. Call Blackburn Sheds on 01254 897262 to talk through the size, intended use and access.

Details to discuss for a pent shed

  • Which way the roof should slope in relation to walls and boundaries.
  • How much internal height you need for storage or a work surface.
  • Where doors will open and whether windows would improve natural light.
  • Whether the footprint needs to be made to a different size.
  • How the shed will reach the garden and what base it will sit on.

For narrow access, measure gates and passageways and mention steps, corners or overhanging obstacles before arranging delivery or installation.

Options to discuss for a pent shed

Start with a popular footprint or ask about a size that suits the garden, then confirm the construction and site details.

Timber walls

12mm Tongue & Groove Shiplap is the standard option. 16mm Tongue & Groove Loglap and 19mm Tongue & Groove Shiplap are available as thicker options.

Roof and finish

High-performance polyester shed felt is standard. Ask about a Firestone EPDM rubber roof or painted Timbashield finish at extra cost.

Size and access

Popular starting sizes include 8 x 6 ft, 10 x 6 ft, 8 x 8 ft and 10 x 8 ft. Door position, base and access still need to be checked.

See the timber and roof options, or ask about custom-sized sheds.

Would a pent shed suit your garden?

Pent sheds are often chosen where a strong slope in one direction helps the building sit neatly against the garden layout. They have a clean profile and can be a sensible option when the ridge of an apex shed would not be helpful beside a boundary.

Windows and doors are part of the practical specification, not just decoration. A window can make the interior more pleasant for a hobby, while the door position can determine whether you can use the full depth of the shed. Custom sizing may help when the space is tight or unusually shaped.

There is no online price list on this site. Blackburn Sheds prefers to discuss the size, style, access and requirements by telephone so the conversation is based on the building you actually need.
