Why the Sun Pent Might be Perfect for you

If you are a keen gardener, we have no doubt that the Sun Pent would be the perfect addition to your garden. Giving you a space to adorn with your favourite plants on the sun drenched potting shelf, plus loads of extra room adjacent for all your garden tools, you are provided with the best bits of a traditional potting shed and conventional storage shed in a single package. The windows spanning the front of the shed allow in buckets of natural light as well as adding to the overall charm of the Sun Pent. This design also means it could be the perfect place for bird watching or even for use as a summerhouse to relax in during your leisure time. With the pent roof giving a distinctive touch to this shed, many of our customers have chosen the Sun Pent for their garden because of this design choice which is becoming very popular. As you can see from our product images, the Sun Pent can really be brought to life by adding a splash of colour. Shire recommends that you use Protek paint, available from elbec in a wide variety of colours. By using Protek Royal Exterior, you can make the Sun Pent look exactly how you want it while adding extra protection to the timber.

Features

The Sun Pent has a number of features that make it a shed of real quality that will stand up to the test of time. With 12mm shiplap tongue and groove cladding, the inside of your shed has a good level of protection from the elements. With a 12mm tongue and groove roof and floor as standard, this is a feature you will struggle to find on sheds made by other manufacturers in this price bracket. This ensures that you have a roof that is strong and weather resistant as well as a floor with an impressive load capacity. Heavy duty green mineral roofing felt, supplied as standard gives extra protection from the weather and damage from damp or rot. The building really gets its strength from its robust 44x44mm framing, which ensures a sturdy building that will last. With six fixed windows and two opening windows providing an attractive feature to your shed and allowing loads of natural light to flood inside, the flexibility to control the internal temperature with the two opening windows is a must have feature for any potting shed to allow airflow. These windows are also made from horticultural glass to ensure a clearer pane and long term clarity when compared to other materials. There is also a full length workbench/potting shelf included so you can really make the most of the Sun Pent’s interior space. The door features a rim lock with a key provided, meaning you are given extra peace of mind when leaving items overnight in the Sun Pent. The whole package is covered by a 10 year anti-rot guarantee, so you can rest assured you are purchasing a shed that will be a feature of your garden for years to come.

About the Timber

You will be impressed by Shire's use of natural products and their environmental credentials. A high quality timber shed starts with high quality timber, so it is important to know exactly what timber is being used. The most commonly used timber for garden buildings is pine (pinus) as this is widely available for a very cheap price, however all of Shire's garden buildings are constructed using high quality spruce (picea) and is sourced from sustainably sourced timber. Spruce is more durable than pine and provides a higher quality finish. This timber is slow grown unlike fast grown British and Eastern Europe's timber, being slow grown timber means a tighter grain, less sap and with far fewer knots. The timber used on Shire's products is therefore a more durable timber that will last much longer than other timbers. Spruce is therefore the timber of choice for companies such as Shire who always look to produce the best garden building.
