About our power pent sheds
We stock two Power shiplap pent sheds: the 14x8 at £1,724 and the 16x8 at £1,889. Both use 12mm tongue-and-groove shiplap cladding with full dip treatment and a 10-year anti-rot warranty. The pent (single-slope) roof keeps the back wall height low. These sheds are ideal for positioning against boundary fences where height restrictions apply.
Power's adaptable panel system lets you place the door and window in any position on any side. Toughened glass windows, galvanised hinges, and heavy-duty framing come as standard. The premium super felt roof covering sheds water to the rear. Both models arrive flat-packed with pre-cut panels for straightforward assembly.
If you prefer a traditional peaked roof with more headroom, browse our Apex Roof Sheds. For wider options across multiple materials, see our 8ft Wide Sheds collection.
Why We Chose This Range
"Pent sheds solve a real problem for customers with boundary fence height limits. The back wall sits under 1.8m, so you stay within most fence-height boundaries without needing planning permission. Power's shiplap is noticeably thicker than budget alternatives. The adaptable panel system means you are not locked into a fixed door position."

Power pent shed comparison
| Model | Floor Size | Cladding | Warranty | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Power 14x8 Pent | 14ft x 8ft | 12mm shiplap T&G | 10 years | £1,724 |

Matt's Tip
Position the lower (rear) wall facing your boundary fence. This keeps you under the typical 2m height limit for structures near boundaries. The front face with full ridge height faces into your garden where height is not restricted. Always check with your local authority for exact boundary setback rules.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a pent roof shed?
A pent shed has a single-slope roof that angles from front to back. This creates a higher front wall and a lower rear wall. The design sheds rainwater in one direction and keeps the back profile low. Pent sheds are popular for positioning against fences and boundary walls where apex height would be too tall.
-
What is the difference between pent and apex sheds?
Pent sheds have one roof slope; apex sheds have two slopes meeting at a central ridge. Apex sheds give more headroom overall. Pent sheds have a lower rear profile, making them better for fence-line positions. Both styles are equally weatherproof when properly assembled and maintained.
-
Can I position the door on any side of a Power pent shed?
Yes, Power's adaptable panel system allows doors and windows on any side. You decide during assembly which panel gets the door and which gets the window. This flexibility means you can orient the shed to suit your garden layout without any modifications.
-
How long does it take to assemble a Power pent shed?
Most people complete assembly in 3-4 hours with two adults. Panels arrive pre-cut and pre-drilled. You need basic tools: a drill, screwdriver, hammer, and spirit level. Follow the included instructions panel by panel. Having a second person to hold panels while you fix them speeds things up considerably.
-
Do Power pent sheds need a concrete base?
A level base is essential, but it does not have to be concrete. Paving slabs on compacted hardcore work well and are easier for DIY. Pressure-treated timber bearers are included with the shed and sit on top of the base. The key requirement is a flat surface within 5mm tolerance across the full footprint.
