Garden sheds are one of your garden’s most valuable and versatile parts. You can use them as a simple and secure way to store your tools. You can also use them as a workshop or a summer house.
But no matter how you use your shed, it’s best to ensure you have a high-quality lean-to-shed. This shed is a classic design that’s popular for a reason. But how can you get a shed perfectly designed for your needs?
Why Go For A Custom Lean-To-Shed
The short answer is to design the shed yourself. A bespoke lean-to shed can be designed to perfectly fit your needs, specifications and garden storage requirements. We understand that everyone has different circumstances.
You might need a shed to fit a specific spot in your garden, which would mean matching the shed’s dimensions to your space. A made to measure lean-to-shed is ideal.
You can also choose a design you like rather than one you have to settle with. For example, if you want a lean-to workshop rather than a shed, you can create a design with a workbench and appropriate storage.
This way, you can get to work immediately without wasting time.
Quality Construction
Another benefit of a 1st Choice pent shed is that you know it’s been built and designed with quality materials and methods. Our sheds are made with redwood deal timber.
This is a strong wood that’s perfect for outdoor use, and it’s also attractive to look at. We don’t use any artificial OSB boards that are easy to decay and vulnerable to the weather.
You can be assured that a shed made to your specifications will look great and last. What other features can you expect?
Toughened Windows
The windows are one of the first things that can go in a shed. Windows are a great feature; they let in light and make you feel less confined.
Windows are a necessity for a garden shed workshop, but they can break more easily than the rest of the shed.
This is why we use toughened glass windows. Even in wind, rain, or when in contact with errant footballs, the windows are much less likely to break when made with the proper materials.
This makes your shed safer, and you don’t need to spend money on window replacements after every storm.
Optional Features
One of the wonderful things about bespoke lean-to-sheds is the customisable bit. As well as the basic features, including excellent construction and materials, you can tweak the garden shed design.
While timber looks good on its own, you can also get an optional colour finish on your lean-to-shed. This means you can get a colour that matches your home and garden or spice things up with a different colour entirely.
As expected, we use weather-resistant paint and stains that work well with the redwood deal timber.
You can also get optional insulation for your shed. Again, this is the best option for a workshop. If you intend to spend long days working in your shed, make it as comfortable as possible.
Insulation will keep your shed warm enough to work in, even during the year’s colder months.
Before You Buy
Before investing, you need to know what you’re buying. While the whole point of a quality pent shed is that it’s purpose built, you can see some past examples of our work.
You can visit our showroom twixt Woking, Ripley and Guildford in Surrey for viewing some of our sheds so you get some ideas of how well we work and the types of sheds we can build for you. You might even find some inspiration.
It’s also good to check out what past customers say about our sheds. We’ve enjoyed some fantastic feedback and reviews from previous buyers, and we love working with people who have bought our products before.
If you’re getting a pent shed for your garden, you want something that will last years or even decades. A custom design can suit your needs to the tee, so you’ll never have to replace it. Just look after your shed, and it’s sure to look after you.

Can You Put A Shed At The Side Of Your House?
You can put a shed at the side of your house in the UK, but specific regulations apply. Typically, if the shed is under 2.5 meters high and doesn’t cover more than 50% of your garden space, you shouldn’t need planning permission. However, it’s essential to consider local council guidelines, as rules can vary by area. Ensuring the shed complies with the allowed distance from your property line is crucial if it is close to a boundary. Before proceeding, check for any restrictions from your local planning authority or homeowners’ association.

Do I Need Planning Permission For A Lean-to Shed?
Whether you need planning permission for a lean-to shed in the UK depends on several factors. Suppose the shed is under 2.5 metres tall and positioned within 2 meters of a boundary. In that case, it typically doesn't require permission, provided it meets other conditions like not exceeding the allowed footprint for outbuildings. However, if your property is in a conservation area or listed building, different rules may apply, and permission is often required. Always check with your local planning authority to ensure compliance with the specific regulations that may affect your situation.

What Are The Cons Of Lean-to Shed?
Lean-to-sheds have several drawbacks worth considering. Their design often limits the usable space since one side is typically tight against a wall or fence, which can restrict accessibility and storage capacity. They may also lack structural integrity compared to freestanding sheds, making them more vulnerable to wind and heavy snow loads. The sloped roof can lead to drainage issues, potentially causing water to pool at the base or run off unevenly. A lean-to-shed may only blend well with some property styles, possibly leading to aesthetic concerns.
