The perfect storage solution for smaller outside spaces!
The 1.8m x 0.8m Wallshed Double Door 12mm Garden Shed is a compact yet highly practical outdoor storage solution — ideal for homeowners who need reliable shelter for tools and garden essentials without taking up valuable space. Designed with a lean-to pent roof, this shed is perfect for placing against a wall or fence, making the most of narrow garden areas or awkward spaces.
Constructed with sturdy 12 mm tongue-and-groove shiplap cladding on the walls, roof and floor, the Wallshed offers improved weather resistance and structural strength compared with thinner shed cladding options, helping to protect your belongings from the elements. The pent style roof slopes up from the front to the back, encouraging effective rainwater run-off while maintaining a low, unobtrusive profile in your garden.
Practicality is built-in with framed and braced double doors positioned on the low side of the building, giving you wide, easy access for larger items such as lawnmowers, bikes or bins. A secure slide bolt lock adds peace of mind when storing valuable equipment.
Thanks to its compact footprint and thoughtful design, the Wallshed Double Door 12mm is an excellent choice for homeowners seeking a durable, no-nonsense garden storage shed that fits snugly alongside walls, fences or within narrow outdoor spaces.

❓Below are many of the Frequently asked questions we get about our range of Pent Sloping Roof Interlocking Log Cabins & Summerhouses. Use the down arrows to the right to reveal the answers
A pent roof cabin offers a sleek, modern look with a lower profile that’s ideal near boundaries. Its single‑slope roof provides efficient rainwater runoff and allows for EPDM rubber roofing, which is long‑lasting, low‑maintenance, and leak‑free — making it a practical and contemporary choice.
EPDM rubber roofing is highly durable, long‑lasting, and weather‑resistant. It has no joins, which means it won’t leak, and it provides a clean, modern finish ideal for pent roof designs.
EPDM roofing can last 40–50 years with minimal maintenance, significantly longer than felt shingles. Cedar shingles offer a natural look but require more upkeep, while EPDM is virtually maintenance‑free.
Pent roof cabins are specifically designed for EPDM roofing, which we strongly recommend. Alternative roofing materials are not generally advised due to performance and design considerations.
Yes, pent roof cabins are a popular choice for garden offices and studios. Their modern design, efficient roofing, and insulation options make them ideal for year‑round use. They also give the internal appearance of larger space compared with a similar footprint Apex model.
Absolutely. Pent roofs are built with a slight slope to ensure effective rainwater runoff, preventing pooling and protecting the structure. Linked with our guttering options a Pent model only requires guttering at the back of the building.
Pent roof cabins are designed with a single slope roof, which naturally directs rainwater to one side. Adding guttering is optional but recommended if you want to:
Because the roof falls in one direction, guttering is only required along that single edge.
Yes, insulation is available for floors and roofs as standard upgrades. We can also provide thicker insulation or wall insulation if required.
Yes, wall insulation and additional interior cladding can be added as our best and highest upgrade. Whilst this will significantly increase the cost of the building it will provide additional warmth. The downside to internal wall insulation is you lose the look of a timber building unless you opt for timber cladding.
Pent roof cabins are often chosen for their sleek, contemporary look. They complement modern gardens and urban spaces, whereas apex and hipped roofs offer a more traditional aesthetic.
Pent roofs provide a lower external profile, which can be useful near boundaries, while still offering generous internal headroom.
Yes, the lower height of pent roof cabins often makes them more suitable for boundary placement, helping to comply with planning regulations.
Our cabins are available in a variety of log thicknesses to suit different needs. Thicker logs provide greater strength, insulation, and durability, while thinner logs are ideal for budget‑friendly summerhouses. The thickness of the logs is shown in the individual product specifications, but we have models that have 28mm, 40mm, 44mm 68mm and 70mm interlocking logs. If you need thicker logs, please contact us as we can product buildings using a bespoke service.
You can select from full‑length windows, ¾ height windows, or ½ height windows depending on the model. Each style offers a different balance of light, privacy, and aesthetics.
Most of our cabins are supplied with premium sealed double glazing for excellent insulation and energy efficiency. Budget models may come with single glazing, which is clearly listed under the specifications tab.
Standard options include single solid doors, single half‑glazed doors, double doors, wooden bifold doors, and sliding doors. On selected models, you can upgrade to UPVC doors and windows for enhanced security and low maintenance.
Optional Insulation is available on most pent, apex, and hipped models unless otherwise stated. We also offer upgrades to thicker insulation or wall insulation if you require year‑round comfort.
As everyone has difference budgets and requirements, we have asked customers how they prefer to see the breakdown of the prices and we feel this is the most transparent way. Customers can select the individual components to build their own package which is priced individually so you know what you are getting. Nothing hidden.
All cabins come with a manufacturer’s warranty covering structural integrity and materials. Full details are provided with each product.
In most cases, summerhouses fall under permitted development rights and do not require planning permission. However, this depends on size, height, and placement, as well as your location, so we recommend checking with your local authority.
Delivery times vary depending on the model and your location. Installation can typically be completed within a few days once the base is prepared. If you need a building urgently then please contact us and we may be able to recommend a model available for immediate shipment.
Yes, many models allow customization. Speak to our team about adding extra doors, windows, or other upgrades.
We recommend treating the timber with a high‑quality timber treatment and we recommend Sadolin for its quality, ease of application and longevity. Regular re-application of timber treatment and checks on roofing and glazing will help maintain performance.
Many customers choose to assemble their cabins 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 cabins 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 interlocking summerhouse or log cabin. 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.
All doors and windows are fitted with quality locks. UPVC upgrades provide additional security and peace of mind.
Yes, with insulation upgrades and a suitable heating source, your cabin can be enjoyed comfortably throughout the year. Please talk to us about our range of air conditioning options that are perfect and cost-effective ways of heating and cooling your building throughout the year.
We offer flexible payment options on many models. Please check the product page or contact our team for details.
