What are mono pitch sheds?

Mono pitch sheds, also known as skillion or lean-to sheds, have a roof that slopes in one direction. They are commonly used for rural applications such as shelter for tractors, machinery, implements, animals, stock and feed.

Q: What are the advantages of a mono pitch shed?

Mono pitch sheds are simple, cost-effective and quick to build. They sit neatly alongside existing structures, can often be positioned closer to boundaries and create less shading than other shed designs, making them practical for many uses.

Is a mono pitch shed cheaper than a gable shed?

Mono pitch sheds can be more cost-effective than gable sheds due to their simpler roof design and reduced structural complexity. However, the wider spans can become more expensive, if you like the idea of having clear open spans like you would with a gable shed, it’s a good idea to compare designs and all options.

Photos and Details of our system

The average shed company designs buildings based on standard measurements simply rounded to the meter, then builders trim the excess cladding to suit. We do it way better – we base each dimension on the total cover of the cladding sheets

Why?

A wall 12.3 m wide instead of 12.0 m really makes a difference. Everything lines up, flashings fit properly, reducing waste and saving time.

Their sponsorship of our production of The Places You’ll Go made a huge difference and helped bring this show to life for our community.

It’s fantastic to see a local business not only supporting the arts financially but also getting involved in community events and backing creative opportunities for young performers. Their generosity, encouragement, and belief in what we do has been amazing.

Thank you, Kitset Sheds Limited, for investing in the arts and helping make performing opportunities possible for our community. Your support truly means a lot!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul Wiiliams always had a smiling face with great work ethic.  Our 10 year old shed has doubled in value.  We now live in the legal cottage attached to the garaging. But previously it was rented out. Best thing we ever did.

Everything arrived as expected and was well organized, the kit arrived clearly labeled, and easy to work with, making the building process efficient and hassle free.

The finished shed is solid, practical and exactly what the client was after. Meraki Builders completed the installation and construction of the shed and the quality of the shed made it straightforward to achieve a great final result.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I built a kitset shed in 2025 (4 bays, 16.25m x 8.9m) and it was a total blast! The kit instructions were excellent, and anything I didn't fully understand I was able to phone Paul and get the answer quickly. The shed is now complete and being set up as an engineering workshop. I can't wait to get some projects going. I highly recommend Kitset Sheds Ltd and owner Paul Williams (no relation to me) for their helpfulness, excellent communication, speedy delivery, excellent product and overall ease to deal with.
