Apex Sheds

What is an Apex Shed?

Apex sheds are named after the shape that the roof of the product takes in comparison to the standard pent shed. Although the differences between the two types of sheds may seem minor, your intention of how you use your shed can play an important factor in the choice you make. 

While a pent shed features a single-slope design, with the highest point often located on the wall that has the door, an apex roofing system has two evenly shaped slopes that meet down the middle of the building, The apex roof runs along the length of the shed, while the pent shed roof offers an even internal height as it only features one slope. 

With apex garden sheds available in a variety of heights and sizes, it is necessary to understand what it can be used for. If you plan to use your shed as a workshop or DIY space, then it may be ideal to choose an apex roof option. This is because you can display your tools along the walls, leaving enough headroom in the middle for you to move within the building freely. Alternatively, even if you are simply looking for a place to store your gardening equipment and tools, an apex shed still could be useful due to the plethora of space the additional roof area creates. However, we also suggest exploring our selection of reverse pent sheds or standard pent sheds which are also suitable for garden storage.

Equally, our apex sheds could be transformed into the perfect garden office. With the option to install skylights into your apex roof, an apex shed is a light and airy space needed to house your office desk and equipment.

Features of an Ace Shed Apex Garden Shed

An Ace Shed apex garden room is created from the highest quality 100% pressure treated redwood timber. We have become well versed in the sourcing and importing of quality timber to ensure our garden buildings stand the test of time. Our timber is Scots Pine (Pinus Sylvestris), also known as a quality redwood, which is grown throughout Northern Europe. Before manufacturing of our apex garden buildings begins, our timber undergoes a meticulous pressure treatment process to ensure it can withstand all the elements of British weather. The wood preservative is penetrated deep into the timber to stop rot, decay and insect or fungal attack from occurring. We also recommend adding a water repellent to the exterior of your timber structure to ensure moisture and water doesn’t damage its functionality and appearance. For more information on how you can look after your apex timber building, please read our After Care guide.

As standard, your shed will feature a tongue and groove roof and floor which is both hygienic and easy to look after. While most of our apex garden rooms come with high-quality polyester green mineral felt roofing, you can also upgrade to heavy-duty felt, an onduline apex style roof, rubber roofing, felt tiles and cedar shingles to name a few. We are sure the alternatives we have available will meet your stylistic and functional requirements.

Each apex shed includes joinery made window frames with cills & 4mm toughened glass. Using our customisation tool, you can alter the windows of your timber to feature, for example, two fixed cross windows, one opening/one fixed cross window or one opening cross window. An opening window is particularly useful if your shed is used as a workshop, a garden office or a relaxing haven. The choice is completely yours.
