A pent roof has a single sloping plane. It is the standard roof option across our ranges, with Garden Pods offered in their Pod Pent form.
Roof
Garden room roofs: pent, pitched and apex
The roof decides the outline of your garden room and how it sits against the house and the fence line. A pent roof gives the clean, low, flat-roof garden room look that fits close to a boundary. A pitched roof garden room or apex roof garden room adds height inside and a more traditional shape.
Pent is standard on every Noah range. Pitched and apex roofs are an option on Garden Buildings, Garden Rooms, Signature and Granny Annexes. We build both in Telford to the height that keeps you inside permitted development where your site allows it.

Pitched and apex roofs are optional on Garden Buildings, Garden Rooms, Signature and Granny Annexes. They are not listed for Garden Pods.
Visit the individual guides to consider the roofline and layout in more detail.
A roofline that suits your garden
A pent roof creates a clean, low-profile outline with one fall from front to back. A pitched or apex roof has two slopes meeting at a ridge, giving a more traditional silhouette.
Compare the complete building height, including the base, when choosing the shape. The roofline is part of the design, not a guarantee of a particular planning outcome.
Shape outside, comfort inside
The roof covering protects the room from the weather; roof insulation helps control heat transfer. Garden Pods, Garden Rooms, Signature and Granny Annexes include insulation, while Garden Buildings are uninsulated.
Your chosen range determines the construction beneath the roofline. This lets you choose the appearance alongside the level of insulation you need.

Make the roof part of your design
Compare the available shapes in the configurator, then choose your doors, windows and finishes around them. We will confirm the finished height, overhangs and rainwater details with your building.
Is every Noah roof the same construction?
No common construction should be assumed from the shape. Confirm the specification for your range.
Can a Pod have a pitched roof?
No. Pods come with a pent roof only.
Does a pent roof automatically avoid planning permission?
No. The whole proposal and property need checking, not just the roof shape.
