Why an apex potting shed?
An apex potting shed is the shape most growers picture. The roof rises to a central ridge, so you stand upright to pot. That height also lets you hang tools and stack shelves high. This range covers 41 apex potting sheds. Short on height? A low pent potting shed fits under fences. Compact plots suit small potting sheds, keen growers large potting sheds. Need a store too? See a combi with storage.
Apex gives you the roof space, so use it. A shelf across the gable end holds pots and fleece up out of the way. We fit one on most builds. The ridge turns dead air into handy storage above the bench.
What an apex roof gives you
The ridge gives standing headroom down the middle. Tall canes and stakes store upright. A gable shelf uses the height above the bench. Rain and snow slide off both sides.
