An apex roof shed is one of the most popular and traditional styles of garden building. The timeless, homely silhouette is a favourite in the UK and brings a classic, cosy feeling to your garden while still delivering great storage space and functionality.
For a timeless look that complements any garden, think about investing in a wooden apex shed. With a roof made from two panels that slope to either side of your shed’s door, you’ll have more than adequate rainwater runoff to keep your shed and its contents dry. And with options to add a guttering system, or with a water butt, you could even reuse this rainwater throughout your garden. If you’re looking for a metal apex shed or even a plastic apex shed, you’ll find them all here at Garden Buildings Direct.
With the highest point of an apex shed in the middle, you’ll have plenty of headroom to work in your workshop, or to store taller items in your new garden shed. So if you’re after a timeless style made from high-quality materials and built to last, look no further than a BillyOh apex shed.

FAQs
Usually, no. Most UK properties are allowed sheds as 'permitted developments' with no planning permission required.
Exceptions (where you MIGHT need planning permission) include:
Listed properties and locations of 'outstanding natural beauty'
Structures exceeding 2.5 metres height on the eaves or, if placed near a boundary, 2.5 metres total height (our sheds don't exceed this)
Some maintenance is required for wooden sheds, and our guarantee is dependent upon the building having been correctly looked after.
Fortunately, the process is simple. Here are the main things you need to do:
Build the shed at least 2 feet away from a fence, wall, or trees. This ensures access for maintenance, and helps with airflow so the shed can stay dry.
Particularly with log cabin sheds, give it a few months for the wood to settle before you attach anything across multiple sections, as there could be some shifting, expansion and contraction.
Periodically check for gaps or cracks, and apply a sealant if necessary to prevent rain penetration.
Paint or stain your shed to protect the wood from moisture (aka treating the timber). This should be done only after assembly and should be topped up annually.
The requirement to treat the timber does not apply to pressure treated sheds as they are already protected and have a longer 15-year guarantee.
A pressure treated wooden shed is infused with wood preserver which protects against moisture, rot and insect infestation. The BillyOh Guarantee is 15 years for pressure treated buildings.
With pressure treatment, you do not have to annually treat the building as part of its regular maintenance, until several years after purchase.
Pressure treated timber has a slight green tint. You may want to paint over this. However, you must wait at least 4-6 months for the treatment to dry before painting. (6 months applies if it is drying through a wet or cold season.) Failing to allow it to dry will
cause
the problems that pressure treatment is intended to prevent.
Since our wooden sheds are made to order, the purchase of pressure treatment will add some extra time to your delivery.

It's a look that has survived for decades - maybe even centuries - and remains a popular choice today. Why?
