Garden sheds come in a variety of styles, materials, sizes and construction methods.

Selecting asuitable Garden Shed is not as straightforward as it seems.

There is such a variety of styles, materials, sizes and construction methods, you can easy spend weeks driving around various garden centres trying to pick the right one.

Our overview of Garden Sheds for sale in the UK and Ireland, provided below,can hopefully save you a lot of time by helping you narrow down your options.

Apart from contemporary styles like the UK-designedArchipod (top right), garden sheds usually come with one of two roof styles pent or apex.

Pent garden sheds (bottom left picture) are built with a gently sloping roof, with the highest part of the shed in the front or the back.

Apex garden sheds (pictures top left and bottom right), are tallest in the middle with the roof sloping to the sides of the shed (sheds with side entrance) or to front and back (sheds with front entrance).

Apex sheds can have either high-peaked roofs (top left) or gently sloping ones (bottom right).

The choice between an apex or a pent roof may seem like a trivial point, but it is not.

Pent roofs are better suitable for areas where height is limited or restricted e.g. under overhanging branches or next to a wall. They are however a bad option if you experience a lot of snowfall. Snow tends to accumulate on a pent roof weighing it down. This can, in extreme cases, cause the roof to cave in.Apex sheds are better suited for such extreme weather conditions.
