Different Types Of Shed
shed | buildingAs soon as you start working in the garden you will need a shed. A suitable shed or out-building will give you somewhere safe and dry to store your dirty tools and equipment and somewhere to work out of the rain. Sheds come in an enormous range of styles and sizes to meet all needs.
The most common type of shed is the apex roof shed followed closely by the pent shed. A pent shed has a single slope roof whereas an apex roof slopes to two sides from a single high ridge running along the length of the shed. Most sheds are made from wood, although plastics and metals are sometimes used in sheds which are more aimed at storage than occupation by gardeners.
Pictured above is a typical example of an Apex Shed. Apex sheds are normally a little more expensive than pent sheds, but they are also more robust, offer more headroom, and are available in larger sizes.
Pictured above is an example of a high quality large-sized Pent Shed.
