Pent Shed FAQs
A pent shed has a single sloping roof, with the highest point usually at the front above the door and the lowest at the back. The slope drains rainwater away from the entrance.

A typical pent shed has around 2.0m at the front wall and 1.8m at the back wall, giving comfortable headroom near the door and slightly less at the rear of the shed.
