Doverdale

Large Pent Shed with Double Doors and Two Windows

The Doverdale is a heavy duty, handmade large pent shed with double doors and two framed PERSPEX windows, built for those who want the most generous combination of access and natural light in a single pent roof building. It sits at the top of the WTP pent range in terms of overall footprint, with sizes going up to 14 x 12ft, making it the right choice when a smaller pent shed with double doors simply won't fit enough inside.

If you're comparing this large pent shed with double doors against other pent options in the range, the Doverdale goes wider and deeper than the Cookley (max 12 x 10ft) and wider than the Shipston (max 10 x 12ft), so it suits the largest footprints of any of the double-door, two-window pent models available. The two framed PERSPEX clear cast acrylic windows, positioned either side of the double doors, let in natural light across the full width of the building, which is particularly valuable in a larger interior where a single window would leave areas of shadow.

Construction and materials

The framework uses 70 x 50mm rounded planed CLS timber for a smooth, professional interior. The floor is 22 x 125mm matchboard (finished 19 x 120mm), the roof and door use 16 x 125mm matchboard (finished 12 x 120mm), and the shiplap cladding is 16 x 125mm (finished 12 x 120mm), all double nailed with stainless steel nails. All sheds are fitted with 24kg polyester charcoal felt. The double door opens outwards and is fitted with tee hinges, tamperproof screws, a brenton padbolt and tower bolts in a black finish. A 70mm long throw 6-pin barrel lock from the GATEMATE range can be added to your basket and fitted at no extra charge.

Sizing, warranty and installation

This large pent shed with double doors is available in 27 sizes from 8 x 4ft up to 14 x 12ft, with sizes measured as gable end width followed by depth.

Is the Doverdale large pent shed with double doors suitable for use as a home office, workshop or hobby room?
Yes, particularly in the larger sizes. The double doors provide easy access for furniture, machinery or equipment, and the two windows supply enough natural light for comfortable daily use. Adding insulation as a bespoke enhancement would make it more suitable for year-round occupation.

Does a large pent shed with double doors this size need planning permission?
Most garden sheds fall within permitted development rules, but at 10ft or 12ft wide, the larger configurations in this range like the doverdale large pent shed with double doors may exceed standard thresholds depending on site and height. Check with your local planning authority before ordering the larger sizes.

How should I maintain the Doverdale pent shed with double doors over time?
Inspect the roof felt annually and replace it if it shows signs of cracking or lifting. Treat the cladding periodically with a quality exterior preservative or stain, and check the door ironmongery each season to ensure it's all functioning correctly.

Warranty

All our timber is pressure treated and guaranteed against rot and decay (fungi) for 10 years. To extend the life of your shed further, we recommend treating it with an appropriate exterior preservative per manufacturer guidelines. As authorised OSMO stockists, we recommend their UV Protection Oil, Natural Oil wood stain or Country Colour satin finish range.

Important considerations

Your base must be firm, level and at least the size of the shed floor. We always recommend concrete or slabs. Our installation teams use vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes and will need direct vehicle access to your property for several hours. If you're in a controlled parking zone, please arrange a permit in advance. There must be no overhead obstructions such as branches, cables or arches. Please advise us of any issues before production so changes can be made in time.

If the assembly team considers the site unsuitable on the day and you choose to proceed, you accept responsibility for the structural integrity of the building and indemnify Worcester Timber Products against any future issues. If the team must leave before completion for reasons beyond their control, no refunds are applicable and additional charges may be levied.
