BUILDING OPTIONS

This modular building kit contains all necessary timber panels, doors, windows and fixings as standard. To complete your new building, you will require a suitable base for installation, roof covering, and paint or varnish to weatherproof your natural timber building. Please choose from the options below.

Roof Covering

Your new building needs protection from the elements. If you're not sourcing your own roof covering materials, take a look at what we can offer. Our EPDM rubber roof is recommended for all flat and pent sloping roof models and is a single sheet of rubber that comes with the glue, side and gutter trims and all of the materials needed to complete and fully seal your roof from the elements. Our EPDM has a 50 year life approximately and is perfect for sloping roof models.

Eco-Friendly Grid Base

Our environmentally friendly interlocking grid base is made from recycled plastic and is the strongest plastic grid system on the market - perfect for all our timber buildings. Filled with pea shingle, it's lightweight, easy to install and helps drain water away from the base of your new timber cabin. Add railway sleepers for a stylish finish and to retain the shingle on sloped sites.

Description

The Major Pent Shed is a premium upgrade on the standard garden shed, offering superior quality, durability, and practicality. Designed with heavy-duty materials and a taller structure than most sheds, this building provides extra storage space, increased headroom, and the strength to withstand years of regular use.

One of the standout features of the Major Pent Shed is its reinforced framework, which is nearly double the size of that found in standard sheds. Combined with heavy-duty galvanised industrial hinges, this makes the building exceptionally strong and secure, offering both peace of mind and long-lasting performance. With its pent roof design, the shed also delivers a clean, modern look while ensuring effective rainwater run-off.

This shed is taller than average garden sheds, giving you valuable additional headroom and improved storage capacity. Whether you need to store larger items, install shelving, or simply want a building that feels more spacious, the Major Pent Shed offers both comfort and functionality.

The Major Range is designed with flexibility in mind. The roof, doors, and windows of the Major Pent Shed can be positioned in different configurations, allowing you to adapt the layout to suit your garden. If you would like the roof slope, door placement, or window position changed, simply let us know when placing your order and we’ll customise the shed to fit your requirements.

❓Below are many of the Frequently asked questions we get about our range of Garden Sheds and Timber Frame Summerhouses (Panel Construction with Frame and Cladding)

Use the down arrows to the right to reveal the answers

We supply a wide range of standard sheds, pet housing, and garden storage solutions. Bespoke sizes and designs are also available for customers who want something tailored to their needs.

Our sheds are built using panels with a strong internal frame and exterior cladding. This ensures durability, stability, and a neat finish.  The sheds unless requested are sprayed with a "Travel Coat" of preservative.  This protection is designed to give customers time to fully treat their shed with a suitable timber treatment. We recommend that you treat your shed within 6 months with a high quality treatment.  We recommend and supply Sadolin through our shop.  In some areas we are also able to quote for the full painting service of your shed.  Please ask our team.

Yes, both the frame and exterior cladding thickness can be upgraded. Thicker framing improves strength and stability, while thicker cladding enhances durability and weather resistance.

Yes, bespoke sheds can be designed to include taller buildings, larger doors, barn doors, different window styles, and alternative roof configurations.

All sheds come with a manufacturer’s warranty covering structural integrity and materials.

Most sheds fall under permitted development rights and do not require planning permission. However, this depends on size, height, and placement, so we recommend checking with your local authority.

We require details of your preferred size, roof style, window configuration, and door type. Larger doors, barn doors, and custom layouts can all be accommodated. If possible a rough sketch will help us understand your requirements.

Yes, our online product configurator allows you to design your shed, workshop, or storage solution exactly to your requirements without choosing a standard model.

Yes, bespoke sheds are priced slightly higher due to customization. However, the configurator ensures you get a building tailored to your exact needs.

You can choose from different roof configurations, including apex and pent styles, depending on your preference and garden layout. Whilst Standard Shed Roof Felt comes as standard you can upgrade to shingle tiles, cedar shingles or Tapco Slate effect tiles on Apex models and EPDM Rubber for Pent Roof Models.  EPDM has a very long life so will not need to be replaced.  Standard Shed felt usually lasts between 5-10 years before it needs to be replaced.

Yes, bespoke sheds can be designed with larger doors or barn‑style doors for easier access and a distinctive look.

Absolutely. Bespoke sheds are ideal for workshops, hobby spaces, or tailored storage solutions thanks to their flexibility in size and design.

Standard sheds are typically delivered within 2–4 weeks, depending on the model ordered.

Bespoke sheds usually take 4–6 weeks, depending on the complexity of the order.

Yes, we can install sheds in most areas of the UK, excluding Scotland and the far South West.

Please contact our sales team at info@cabinsunlimited.co.uk or call 01603 327345 to confirm installation availability.

Many customers choose to assemble their garden sheds themselves using the provided instructions. We also offer professional installation services with our own employed installation team if you prefer a hassle‑free experience. Many customers prefer us to install their building especially as they may not have the technical ability, experience or tools required.  Our teams are very experienced and offer a very high quality of service backed with years of many exceptional reviews. If you are using a third-party fitter, then take care to ensure they have the correct experience.  As our fitters are all directly employed by Cabins Unlimited, we are best placed to install your building. Check if your shed supplier has their own team as many outsource with negative consequences should something go wrong. Not something you will experience with Cabins Unlimited!

A solid and perfectly level base is essential for any garden shed. We recommend our Eco-Base Plastic Grid System called Probase owing to it allowing water to drain away from the base of the building but other alternatives including concrete pads, paving slabs, or a timber frame foundation to ensure stability and longevity.

Yes, bespoke sheds allow you to specify window placement and style. Our configurator allows you to locate your window in any wall.  Standard sheds usually offer left or right wall placement.

Standard sheds are ideal for storage and seasonal use. With upgrades to framing, cladding, and insulation, bespoke sheds can be adapted for workshops or more frequent use.  Please talk to our team about insulation and cladding options on our sheds.

Yes it can be lined, insulated and boarded, quotation available on request.
