Pent Sheds
For a building that complements a contemporary and modern garden, there’s no design quite like a pent shed. A clean and sleek modern look, a pent roof offers excellent runoff as well as pleasing aesthetics to wooden sheds. And here at Garden Buildings Direct, we’ve got a large range of pent roof sheds in all sizes to fit any garden or budget.
As an alternative to traditional apex roof sheds, our BillyOh pent sheds do a fantastic job as anything from bike stores and storage sheds all the way up to potting sheds. With a pent roof’s height in the front of your garden building, you can make the most of your workable space. And with high-quality timber, expert craftsmanship and tongue and groove cladding, you can be confident in a BillyOh product that’s going to stand the test of time.
That’s why our wooden pent sheds come with our BillyOh 10-year guarantee against rot, decay, and insect infestation. So for modern gardens, why not invest in a pent shed today? And if you want to know more about the different types of shed, check out this post on their differences.

FAQs
Usually, no. Most UK properties are allowed sheds as 'permitted developments' with no planning permission required.
Exceptions (where you MIGHT need planning permission) include:
- Listed properties and locations of 'outstanding natural beauty'
- Structures exceeding 2.5 metres height on the eaves or, if placed near a boundary, 2.5 metres total height (our sheds don't exceed this)
- Sheds placed in the front garden
- Sheds exceeding more than 50% of the garden space
There are some other rules, so check out our guide to planning permission for sheds to get a full understanding.
Some maintenance is required for wooden sheds, and our guarantee is dependent upon the building having been correctly looked after.
Fortunately, the process is simple. Here are the main things you need to do:
- Build the shed at least 2 feet away from a fence, wall, or trees. This ensures access for maintenance, and helps with airflow so the shed can stay dry.
- Particularly with log cabin sheds, give it a few months for the wood to settle before you attach anything across multiple sections, as there could be some shifting, expansion and contraction.
- Periodically check for gaps or cracks, and apply a sealant if necessary to prevent rain penetration.
- Paint or stain your shed to protect the wood from moisture (aka treating the timber). This should be done only after assembly and should be topped up annually.
The requirement to treat the timber does not apply to pressure treated sheds as they are already protected and have a longer 15-year guarantee.
A pressure treated wooden shed is infused with wood preserver which protects against moisture, rot and insect infestation. The BillyOh Guarantee is 15 years for pressure treated buildings.
With pressure treatment, you do not have to annually treat the building as part of its regular maintenance, until several years after purchase.
Pressure treated timber has a slight green tint. You may want to paint over this. However, you must wait at least 4-6 months for the treatment to dry before painting. (6 months applies if it is drying through a wet or cold season.) Failing to allow it to dry will
Since our wooden sheds are made to order, the purchase of pressure treatment will add some extra time to your delivery.
Pent Roof Sheds
A pent roof provides any shed with an iconic look - one that feels modern and sleek, fitting naturally into gardens without any fuss. Not only does it look good, but the gradual one-sided slant provides controlled drainage while ensuring accessible headroom indoors.
At Garden Buildings Direct, our wooden pent sheds are made using high-quality European-sourced timber that is then constructed with care by our expert craftsmen. Plus, with a choice of tongue and groove sheds on offer, our pent range is built to be weather-resistant, hard-wearing, and long-lasting. There's more great reasons to buy our pent buildings, too.
Advantages of Our Pent Sheds
With a modern style in mind, our wooden pent sheds are constructed using interlocking tongue and groove panels which create a smooth wall with no lips on panels.
This seamless join also protects your shed and its contents against water ingress whilst making for an incredibly sturdy construction. That’s why we offer our BillyOh 10-year guarantee against rot, decay, and insect infestation on our pent sheds.
With the option to pressure treat many of our apex shed models, you can protect your garden building for even longer under our 15-year guarantee. So for high-quality materials and construction in a garden building that doesn’t compromise on style, think about investing in a BillyOh pent shed.
Different Pent Shed Sizes
From our 8 x 6 pent shed to our 14 x 8 pent shed, we have a huge selection of pent roof shed sizes on offer. And the customisable features don’t stop there. Choose to customise guttering, shelving, foundation and even wall and trim colour options. And with traditional timber styles and pent log cabins to choose from, we’re sure that we’ve got a pent shed to fit your garden and needs perfectly.
So if you want to use a pent roof shed for anything from a bike store to a full-blown potting shed, a pent roof could be for you. With excellent rainwater runoff and a roof that’s higher at the front, pent sheds make great spaces for storage or working in, all without obstructing as much ‘skyline’ as an apex shed.
