8′ x 8′ Traditional Heavy Duty Shiplap Apex Wooden Garden Shed (2.44m x 2.44m)
Overview
An 8′ x 8′ apex shed from the Traditional Heavy Duty range, built with shiplap cladding for a neat, weathertight finish. The square footprint suits gardens where width and depth are both limited, while the apex roof adds useful headroom compared with a pent roof of the same size.
If a single-slope roofline would suit your garden better, the 8×8 Heavy Duty Shiplap Pent shed uses the same footprint with a lower profile.
Key Features
- 8′ x 8′ (2.44m x 2.44m) square footprint
- Shiplap tongue and groove cladding
- Apex roof for extra headroom
- Heavy Duty range framing
- Suits general garden storage
Roof Types
The apex roof rises to a central ridge, giving noticeably more headroom in the middle of the shed than a pent roof would at the same wall height. This makes it easier to store taller items upright and to move around comfortably inside.
Dimensions
- Overall width: 8′ (2.44m)
- Overall depth: 8′ (2.44m)
- Roof style: apex
- Wall cladding: shiplap tongue and groove timber
Construction
Shiplap boards are fixed to a timber frame, each board overlapping the next for a tighter, more weatherproof fit than plain overlap cladding. The Heavy Duty range uses a sturdier frame than the Standard range, suited to regular use and heavier stored items.
Treatment & Guarantee
The timber leaves the factory with a base coat of preservative to protect it before assembly. Once built, apply a quality timber treatment or shed paint, and repeat every year or two, to keep the wood performing well for years to come.
Doors & Windows
Access is via a single front door fitted with a standard latch. As with other models in the Traditional range, check the listing photos or ask our team to confirm window positions if natural light inside the shed matters to you.
Assembly Information
Supplied as a flat-pack kit of pre-cut panels, the shed is assembled on site rather than arriving built. Most customers manage this over a weekend with two people, basic tools and the included instructions.
Delivery Information
Delivery is made by pallet carrier to the nearest accessible point at your property, typically the driveway or kerb. Please arrange help to move the pack into the garden.
Optional Upgrades
Additional shelving, a stronger floor, or a felt upgrade for the roof may be available. Contact our sales team before ordering to check current options for this model.
