Description
We manufacture this shed right here in the UK, using ethically sourced, FSC® certified timber. This 10ft x 8ft Windowless Shiplap Apex Shed boasts a spacious interior. Perfect for securely storing your gardening equipment, outdoor furniture and all the kids' toys.
By encouraging water drainage the apex roofline protects this building against wood rot. Whilst the generous roof height is ideal for adding additional internal shelving units. For peace of mind, this shed does not feature any windows, to ensure your stored items are out of sight. Allowing you to create the ultimate secure storage solution in your garden.
Built to withstand daily use, the floor of this garden building uses tongue and groove boards. A durable material due to its interlocking design. Manufactured using premium Shiplap cladding, this shed provides a robust storage space. As the interlocking tongue and groove boards produce a strong and weatherproof structure. Completing this wooden shed is thick internal framing. Providing additional support, whilst creating a rigid and long-lasting garden shed.
Robust fixtures and fittings are all supplied as standard with this building. Alongside our detailed instructions and manufacturer's recommendations, to ensure a stress-free assembly.
This garden shed comes with a 10 year anti-rot guarantee. This ensures your building looks great and stands the test of time. Just make sure to treat your building annually with a wood preservative and waterproof top coat. Then your guarantee will be good to go!

Sheds Cladding Materials
Our CladdingMaterials
Scroll through to learn more about the different cladding styles that are available for our sheds.
OverlapCladding
Our overlap cladding is manufactured using thick panels that are nailed to vertical, internal framing with an overlapping profile. Overlap cladding is the easiest and cheapest construction method, making it a cost effective option. This type of construction is great for those looking for a secure, dry storage solution but we would encourage those looking to spend a lot of time inside the shed to consider a Shiplap alternative.
ShiplapCladding
We manufacture our shiplap cladding using thick, pressure treated 12mm tongue and groove boards that lock together and are then nailed to vertical internal framing. Featuring a protective lip, this cladding protects your building from the weather with a tight seal. This type of construction is great for those looking to spend lots of time within the shed or for a more robust and strong storage solution.
Sheds Treatment
Dip Treatment
Our sheds are dip treated during manufacture as standard. This is the process in which we apply a water based colourant for protection whilst in storage and transit. This is not a preservative therefore the building will require a preservative and waterproofing top coat application as soon after construction as possible. This is required to validate your 10 year anti-rot guarantee.

Pressure Treatment
Pressure treatment is a high pressure chemical process designed to preserve exposed timber, by providing optimal protection against insect attack, fungal attack and decay. The pressure treatment process impregnates preservative chemicals deep into the timber fibres to protect it against the elements. This process provides your building with 15 years anti rot guarantee, providing you apply a waterproof treatment once installed and annually thereafter.

Sheds Roof and Floor Materials
Our Roof &Floor Materials
Scroll through to learn more about the different roof and floor materials that are available for our sheds.
Solid SheetBoard
Solid sheet board is an engineered wood formed by adding adhesive and then compressing layers of oriented strands of wood to form a strong and robust panel. This material is perfect for everyday use and will form a strong base or ceiling to your building. If you require a more heavy duty flooring for holding large tools and equipment, you may want to consider upgrading to tongue and groove.
12mm Tongue &Groove Boards
Toungue & Groove boards make the perfect roof and floor for frequently used buildings as well as those that will be storing heavier items such as work benches, tools or furniture. The boards interlock to form a tight seal, helping them spread the load within the building. We'd always recommend upgrading to tongue and groove boards if you plan to spend a lot of time within the building or if you're storing heavier items.
Sheds Glazing Styles
Styrene
Styrene is a lightweight product that offers a safe and shatterproof alternative to traditional glass glazing. Used as standard within our shed, summerhouse, playhouse and greenhouse ranges, styrene is ideal for those with busy gardens or young children.
Sheds Roof Covering Options
Our RoofCovering Options
Scroll through to learn more about the different roof covering options for our sheds.
MineralFelt
High quality mineral felt is supplied as standard across our range of sheds, summerhouses, playhouses and log cabins. Mineral felt is a bitumen and fine mineral granule material that provides a weatherproof barrier between the elements & your building.
Superior DutyFelt
Superior duty felt is designed to protect your building against whatever the weather can throw. Our heavyweight felt is 50% thicker than standard felt, with a glass fibre and bitumen base. Ideal for buildings in an exposed area it provides a tough, durable and weatherproof membrane.
Natural Wood Characteristics
Natural Wood Characteristicts
As wood is a natural material it may be affected by the following:
Shrinkage & Warping
The timber used in the construction of your garden building will have retained some of its natural moisture content. The moisture content of the timber will vary, depending upon prevailing environmental conditions, which will result in the components either naturally expanding or contracting. As the components dry out shrinkage may occur. A good waterproofing treatment from the start is the best protection to minimise the effect of moisture loss/intake.
Damp & Mould
During the winter months, cold and damp conditions can result in an increased amount of moisture within your garden building, especially when used infrequently. Condensation can form on the timber and other items stored within your garden building. If left this moisture is likely to cause mould and mildew. To prevent the build-up of moisture, we recommend leaving the door or windows of your building open from time to time, to allow the fresh air to circulate. We also advise against storing wet or damp items in your garden building as this will also increase the level of moisture in the building. If mould or mildew does start to form within your building we recommend using an anti-mould cleaner to remove it and to prevent it spreading, which if left untreated could permanantly damage your garden building.
Splits, Cracks & Knots
Small splits and cracks in some components or holes may appear where knots shrink and fall out. This will not affect the structure of your garden building however if you wish to fill them this can be easily done using any good quality wood filler
Sap
Sap is naturally occurring in wood and may appear in some boards of your garden building. If you wish to remove the sap, we advise waiting until it is dry and then using a sharp knife to carefully remove it. If the removal of the sap causes a hole in the timber, we recommend using a good quality wood filler to fill it.
Please be aware that these are natural timber characteristics which in most cases will not impact the structure or function of the garden building, therefore are not considered as product defects (as outlined within our Terms & Conditions). If you require further advise or information please contact our friendly Customer Services Team.

AQUATOP®, our fully opaque topcoat, provides extended protection against weathering, UV degradation, mould and fungal attack. Proprietary technology minimises micro foaming in the final paint finish, extending the coating durability.
