This is a display model at our Shrewsbury branch but you can find similar buildings at our 32 outlets throughout the UK. Click on the 'where can I see one' button at the head of this page.

The Pent is the workhorse of our range ... inexpensive, practical, and easily installed in well under a day by our manufacturer's own designated fitting teams.

Standard features of the Pent include grafotherm anti-condensation roof sheets, a horizontally ribbed white finished galvanised up and over lockable steel door, a 4ft fixed timber window and timber facias and vergeboards. The only extra items in the picture are the optional deluxe timber personnel door and, if you can make it out, the guttering and downpipe at the rear.

The LidgetCompton Pent garage.

Aggregate finish

There are four choices for the exterior walls of your Compton Lidget Garage. The most popular is the spar aggregate finish pictured here.

It's an attractive, inexpensive and maintenance free finish which is applied at the factory during manufacturing.

Alternatively you can choose a brick finish, stone finish, or a textured finish.

Sectional brick finish

There's a choice of four wall finishes for your Lidget Compton garage. Illustrated here is the Sectional Brick finish. Other choices are the Spar aggregate, Stone or Textured finishes.

There are 4 different sectional brick colours to choose from .. this one is 'Deep Red' but we also have a buff brick, brown brick and a different shade of red available.

Our display centre staff can help you decide which one is most appropriate for your location!

Pennine stone effect finish

This stone finish is one of the external finishes available with your Lidget Compton garage.

Cotswold stone effect finish

In the appropriate location the Cotswold finish helps your sectional garage, shed or garden room blend into its surroundings with ease.

This building has decograin Rosewood finish on the front up and over door and door frame.

Roof coverings

In the foreground you'll see the full length galvanised steel roof sheets we use on our Pent and Pent Mansard garages. These are treated with Grafo-therm anti condensation treatment to help protect the contents of your garage from damp. They are robust, long lasting and secure.

In the background you'll see the fibre cement roof sheets which are used on our full range of 12.5 degree roof Apex models... our best selling buildings. These have a proven track record and are water tight and durable.

Shelf stack

A handy addition for your concrete garage which attaches using sturdy metal brackets bolted to the concrete panels. No need to attempt to drill into the garage panels yourself (which we definitely don't recommend).

Cement fillet and mastic seal

Making your garage weathertight is very important and two of the key elements of this are shown in this picture. When installed, your garage fitters will seal between the panels with a water resistant mastic sealant which prevents draughts and damp. If you choose the option of a sand/cement fillet the fitters will fill and smooth around the bottom edge as shown in the picture with a cement fillet.

Hormann Doors

Hormann doors have an unrivalled reputation for providing easy lift up and over doors. They are secure, reliable and feature an external frame for strength and good looks. Horizontally ribbed doors are provided as standard but you can choose vertically ribbed doors or a range of special designs and colours. Just ask us for details, either with an on-line enquiry or by phone.

Timber window

A 4ft, 2 pane fixed window is supplied as standard with every Lidget Compton garage, shown here on a Pent roof garage. You can specify an opening window at a slightly increased cost or a double glazed PVCu window if you prefer.

PVCu fixed window

This is a 4ft long PVCu double window, in this instance set into the rear of this Apex garage but it could equally well be side fitting. The standard window is the 4ft timber window as shown elsewhere on this page. You can choose to have the window opening should you wish.

Personnel door , 3ft ribbed steel.

This is the optional 3ft personnel door, available for any of our range. This one is in vertically ribbed steel and is finished with a white powder coated paint finish. There's a choice of different styles too so please be sure to ask about other options.

Normally you would expect to position this door further down one side or at the rear. Note that the door is strongly framed and includes a secure lock.

4 Point Secure Locking

Our main garage doors have two point locking but for a small extra charge you can upgrade to 4 point locking. (Note the bars that run diagonally across the door). This locks the door in all 4 corners.

Sectional Up and Over Door external

This up and over door is a 'sectional door'... look closely and you can see it is made up of four horizontal panels, one of which can, if wanted,accommodate 'waterford inserts' ie glazed panels! Because of the door construction you can to park up closer to the door and yet still be able to lift it as it folds upwards while retaining its overall size.

This sectional door is shown on an Apex 20 garage but can be fitted to all of our garage styles.

If you want to see one of these doors we have it on show at our Ferndown branch in Dorset. Just check out the address on our site locator or follow the 'where can I see one link' above.
