Traditional Apex Garden Shed Layout
The apex roofed shed is a garden shed with a double slope to the roof. The traditional layout is to have the door in the narrow side with the roof going to its apex above the door. The door can be left hand, or right hand hinged
The shed windows can be placed in the left or right panel as you go into the shed
If you don't want windows, or if you only require slit (letterbox) windows, we can do that too
The choice is entirely yours.
in the 5ft and 6ft wide apex sheds you can also have double doors if you need better access for those wider items.
