What is an apex shed?
An apex shed is one where the roof slopes on each side, coming to a point in the centre. Apex garden sheds are a classic design, which has made them one of the most popular options on the Solid Sheds website and in our various branches. If you’re looking for the most versatile garden building out there, you can’t go wrong with an apex roof shed!
This design is beneficial in keeping your shed in excellent condition, as it allows water to drain easily as it flows from the peak and off both sides of the roof onto the ground below. By giving the water an immediate route off your roof, your shed can be kept in the best condition possible for years to come. This prevention of rotting is why apex sheds are a smart purchase, as they guarantee a long lifespan without needing to worry about upgrades or replacements.
This kind of roof also provides extra height to your structure, making apex sheds ideal for storing taller items that would struggle to find a home anywhere else.
What is a reverse apex shed?
A reverse apex shed features the exact same design as an apex shed, but the sloping sides of the roof are reversed. On a standard apex shed, the two sides of the roof slope down the sides, whereas with a reverse apex shed roof, the sides slope down the front and back.
Here at Solid Sheds, we’re able to manufacture any type of shed, whether that’s one with a standard apex or reverse apex roof.
What type of shed do I need?
When deciding on the right shed for you, your decision should largely centre around its intended purpose. Make sure you think long and hard about this, as there are many potential uses out there! Is it going to be an apex potting shed used for storage? Or would you like your new shed to become a bright and cosy play area for the kids? As apex garden sheds are so versatile, both of these options and many more are possible.
8×6 apex sheds
An 8×6 shed is great option for storing your lawnmower, bikes, golf clubs and garden equipment, along with all those other items your partner won’t let you keep in the house!
As it’s not overly large, an 8×6 shed doesn’t usually need any planning permission or permits, which can save you time, paperwork and hassle.
Here at Solid Sheds, we have a wide range of 8×6 sheds to choose from, along with many other sizes and designs. And if you can’t find exactly what you’re looking for, we can even custom build a shed to your precise specifications.

What is an apex shed used for?
Apex sheds are usually found as a means of storage, due to the shape of their roof allowing for the storage of taller and larger items. Those garden tools that have no room in the house? They’d be the ideal fit in an apex shed, giving you a secure space to keep all your tools organised and to hand should you decide to perform work in the garden.
Depending on the size of your apex garden shed, you may also think of alternative uses for your new structure. An example of this being a small workshop to work on garden jobs or as a place for inspiration when creating artwork or any other kind of project.
Is an apex or pent shed better?
Pent and apex sheds are similar in many ways, with the one big difference being the shape of their roof. With a pent shed, the roof is slanted from one side to the other, making it taller along one edge, but with an apex shed, the roof meets at its highest point in the middle.
If you unsure which shed would be best for you, you might want to consider an apex shed if you are a taller person, as this kind of roof makes the structure higher as a whole. The slanted nature of a pent shed makes it ideal for those who are shorter and want to store smaller items.
Other than the roof, the differences between the structures are minimal, meaning that the choice often comes down to personal preference. Both roofs perform the same job of removing water, so it’s up to you as to which one you prefer! Regardless of your choice, we provide these options and more here at Solid Sheds.
Can I use an apex shed as a bar?
Absolutely! Get your electric wired up and install a large TV, pop some optics on the wall and sort yourself a bar area and some seating out and Bob’s your uncle. Get yourself a pizza oven whilst you’re at it and have your mates round to watch the match!
Apex sheds can be used for so many different things, but over lockdown many of our customers have chosen to use them as garden bars. As we can custom make any kind of shed you require, you could even choose to have an apex shed with a drinks serving hatch for all your garden party needs! These can be left open when serving drinks or locked when not in use to provide a secure storage solution.
If you know you want to use your shed as a home bar, but you’re a bit stuck for ideas, get in touch with our experts. Our imaginative and smart shed bar ideas will mean that you can relax with family and friends in style, just in time for the better weather and the end of government restrictions!
Should I choose a wooden or plastic shed?
Whilst plastic sheds are generally cheaper, and easier to assemble if your space is limited, wooden sheds are far more versatile and fully customisable.
Wooden sheds are a lot less likely to blow away in strong winds, whereas plastic sheds need to be anchored down. Also, we think you’ll agree that wooden sheds are far more aesthetically pleasing than plastic sheds.
Whether you’re opting to use your shed for tool storage, gardening equipment or you fancy using it as a bar in your garden, wooden sheds are a far more durable and attractive option than their plastic counterparts. After all, having your drinks served from a plastic shack isn’t exactly classy.
Wooden sheds, on the other hand, are the epitome of style. All products sold by Solid Sheds are manufactured from durable redwood. This is pressure treated with preservatives to guarantee longstanding protection against rot and decay. And we’ll not only deliver your new wooden shed, but our experts will build it on site for you and be there to follow up with any queries you may have after installation.
