The Shire Garden Value Pent Shed (6 x 3ft) is an ideal, compact storage solution specifically designed for small gardens or areas with limited space. Its key benefit lies in offering secure, weather-protected storage for your garden essentials at an accessible price point, though its budget-friendly nature means a simpler aesthetic and no natural light.
Compact Footprint: Measuring 6 x 3ft, this shed is perfectly sized for smaller gardens, patios, or tight spaces, maximizing storage without overwhelming your area.
Pent Roof Design: The sloped roof (pent design) allows for efficient water runoff, protecting the shed's contents from rain and snow, while providing ample headroom at the front.
Overlap Cladding: Manufactured with high-grade, slow-grown, FSC-approved, North European pine overlap cladding boards, ensuring good weather protection and a traditional aesthetic.
Sturdy Framing: Built with robust 34mm square framing, providing a strong and stable structure that can withstand everyday use and various weather conditions.
Dip-Treated Preservative: Features a base coat of dip-treatment, offering initial protection against rot and fungal decay, extending the life of the timber.
Windowless Design for Security: The absence of windows enhances security by keeping stored items out of sight, making it harder for potential intruders to identify valuable contents.
OSB Roof and Floor: Equipped with durable OSB (Oriented Strand Board) for both the roof and floor, providing a solid surface for storage and structural integrity.
Comprehensive Assembly Kit: Includes all necessary fixings, roof felt, and clear assembly instructions, simplifying the setup process for DIY installation.

The Shire Garden Value Pent Shed is designed to be a workhorse for basic garden storage needs. Its compact 6x3ft size makes it perfect for stashing away essentials like garden tools (shovels, rakes, hoes), a lawnmower (if compact), gardening gloves, watering cans, and potting supplies. The pent roof effectively sheds water, keeping your items dry, while the overlap cladding provides a good barrier against the elements. Due to its windowless design, it excels in providing a secure, out-of-sight space for less frequently used items or those you wish to keep private. For example, you can safely store paint cans, seasonal decorations, or children's outdoor toys. The sturdy 34mm framing ensures it holds its shape, even with regular use. Remember that while the dip-treatment offers a base coat, applying an additional, higher-quality wood preservative shortly after assembly will significantly enhance its long-term performance and appearance, particularly against harsh weather.
Setup: Assembling your Shire Garden Value Pent Shed is a straightforward DIY project. All necessary fixings, roof felt, and detailed assembly instructions are included. Before you begin, ensure you have a firm, level base prepared for the shed. This is crucial for stability, proper door alignment, and preventing water ingress. A concrete slab, paved area, or a timber sub-base are all suitable options. We recommend enlisting the help of a second person for easier and safer assembly. Compatibility: This shed is ideally suited for smaller gardens, patios, or properties where space is at a premium. Its compact footprint ensures it won't dominate your outdoor area. Care: The shed comes dip-treated with a base coat preservative. To ensure long-term durability and protect against rot, fungal decay, and insect infestation, it is essential to apply a high-quality, oil-based timber treatment or stain to all exterior surfaces shortly after assembly, and annually thereafter. Regularly check the roof felt for any damage or tears and repair promptly to prevent leaks. Keep the shed clear of surrounding foliage to ensure good airflow and prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to timber degradation. Periodically clean the exterior with a soft brush and mild detergent to remove dirt and grime.
