Garden Shed Buying Guide
Garden Buildings Direct
Large garden storage solutions can help to reduce household and garage clutter freeing up much needed space and are an obvious way of storing garden maintenance equipment, but which style and type is right for you and what do Pent and Apex mean?
Garden Buildings Direct’s extensive range of Wooden Garden Sheds has products that will accomplish most common garden storage requirements and this guide sets out to decipher the terminology used to describe such products and to help you work out which is the right Garden Buildings Direct Wooden Shed for your individual needs.
Apex
An apex shed is probably the type most commonly thought of when thinking about a garden shed. It has a pitched or inverted ‘V’ shaped roof creating ridge height and access is normally granted through a single or double door positioned on the front gable. Windows are located, except on the Value Range, down one of the side panels.
Garden Buildings Direct has Apex Sheds ranging in size from 6’ x 4‘ up to 10’ x 8‘
Pent
A Pent Shed changes the orientation and positioning of the garden shed when compared to the apex shed. Instead of a pitched symetrical roof the pent shed has a sloping roof with the highest point being situated at the front of the building and reducing in height at the back. Access is granted from the front of the building as opposed to the gable ends of the apex shed. Windows are located on the same front panel as the door.
Garden Building Direct has Pent Sheds ranging in size from 8’ x 6‘ up to 10’ x 6’.

Contemporary
Why do all sheds have to look the same? At Garden Buildings Direct we believe they don’t have to and that’s why we have buildings that have a more creative design to them. They have all the same quality and performance attributes as the sheds do, but they will help to give your garden a more individual look.
