The Modern Pent Timber Workshop
Garden Shed
When you invest in an Ecco Workshop, you are investing in the engine room of your garden. Handcrafted in Derbyshire using premium, slow-grown timber and featuring a sleek, modern pent roof profile, our bespoke wooden workshops are engineered for absolute rigidity, total weather resistance, and lifelong durability. Ideal for maintaining a lower profile within your garden while providing an extensive and highly practical interior, we build dedicated timber workspaces designed to perform flawlessly decade after decade. Every building is entirely bespoke, ensuring your new workshop perfectly matches your workflow, tools, and garden layout.
Key Features
- Sleek & Low-Profile Pent Roof: The modern pent roof design offers a contemporary aesthetic that complements modern garden landscaping. Its lower, single-slope profile makes it an ideal choice for placement closer to garden boundaries or fences, often falling within typical permitted development height restrictions without compromising internal clearance.
- Engineered for Heavy Machinery & Wall Storage: A true workshop needs to take a beating. Our structural timber framing is specifically designed to support the weight of heavy, wall-mounted tool racks, pegboards, and heavy-duty workbenches. The walls will not flex, vibrate, or rattle when you are running power tools or heavy machinery.
- Wide Access Double Doors: Maneuvering large sheets of timber, table saws, or ride-on mowers requires proper access. We fit expansive, heavy-duty double doors as standard on our workshop builds. Built with robust timber framing and secured with heavy galvanized T-hinges, these doors provide the wide clearance you need to work efficiently.
- Bespoke Light & Premium Glazing Options: Because we build to order, you dictate the window layout to perfectly illuminate your workflow. Choose traditional timber windows or upgrade to our modern, anthracite grey UPVC double-glazed French doors and matching windows for maximum thermal efficiency and a contemporary studio aesthetic, allowing you to work in comfort year-round.

When you buy an Ecco Workshop, you are investing in serious structural integrity. Heavy-Duty Timber Framing: Built on robust 3×2 structural framing (with massive 4×2 upgrades available for larger spans). This provides the deep cavity required if you wish to fully insulate and board the interior for year-round use. Premium T&G Cladding: We start at 16mm thick Redwood tongue-and-groove as standard, with heavy-duty 19mm and 25mm upgrades available for ultimate durability and weather protection. Reinforced Heavy-Duty Flooring: We use thick timber floorboards supported by closely spaced, pressure-treated joists to ensure the floor remains rock-solid under the weight of heavy machinery and workbenches. Installation Included: Our own craftsmen deliver and assemble your bespoke timber workshop directly onto your prepared base, ensuring a perfect, structurally sound finish.
