Apex Sheds

The apex roof, pitched on both sides and peaked in the middle, is the shed style that handles British weather best. Rain runs off, water doesn't pool on the roof, and the shape gives more headroom in the centre for taller storage like garden tools standing upright. Most apex sheds sell at three popular sizes: 6x4 feet (1828x1219mm), 8x6 (2438x1828mm) and 10x8 (3048x2438mm), the three footprints that cover most patio and end-of-garden spots. The first decision is material. Wooden apex sheds give the country-garden look but need an annual coat of treatment; metal apex sheds are cheaper to maintain but heat up in summer; plastic apex sheds resist rot entirely but look more utilitarian. Aosom UK and Buy Sheds Direct between them stock over 4,000 apex sheds from £176 to £6,349, with Cherry Lane Garden Centres covering the wood-clad garden style. The grid below filters by size, material, floor included and door position so you can match the shed to your existing garden plan.
