Apex Sheds
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.
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. 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
An apex shed refers to the style of roof. An apex shed roof is made from two sloping panels that fall away to either side of the door (or face) of the shed and meet at their highest point in the middle. Apex sheds are great for those who need extra headroom to work or store items and who prefer a traditional aesthetic.
Our BillyOh apex sheds come supplied with felt. Simply affix with nails to each sloping panel of the apex, leaving a 50mm overhang. Then, take a thin strip to overlap each panel by 150mm and cover the apex at its highest point along the length of the shed. Affix with nails and felt adhesive to a tight seal.
Our range BillyOh apex sheds are delivered as pre-cut panels that are designed to be easy to assemble. Simply follow the instructions you received with your order and you and a friend (with some basic tools) can have your apex shed up in no time.

When you picture a shed in your mind, there's no doubt that you'll be thinking of a classic apex shed with an iconic pointed roof. It's a look that has survived for decades - maybe even centuries - and remains a popular choice today. Why? Well not only does a two-sided apex roof look good, but it provides natural drainage equally spread on both sides of the roof and additional headroom in the centre of the building.
