At Apex Timber Buildings, we don’t believe in “one size fits all.” Based in Teesside, we manufacture bespoke timber structures designed for specific purposes. Whether you need a secure home for your tools or a fully-equipped creative studio, our hand-crafted buildings offer the durability and craftsmanship your garden deserves.
High-Quality Garden Sheds: Built for Storage
Our garden sheds are engineered for maximum durability and security. We focus on protecting your garden equipment, bikes, and seasonal furniture from the harsh Northeast weather.
- Design Philosophy: For a dedicated storage shed, windows are often unnecessary. Omitting windows increases security by keeping your valuables out of sight and provides more wall space for internal shelving.
- Roofing & Drainage: To protect the base of your building and extend its lifespan, we recommend adding guttering. This is an eco-friendly way to divert rainfall into water butts, providing you with free, sustainable water for your garden.
- The Apex Standard: Every shed features tongue-and-groove floors and roofs—never OSB—ensuring a solid foundation for heavy lawnmowers and equipment.
We tailor our buildings to fit into your garden, if you are having difficulty imagining where you could fit a shed oiutside your home have a look at the Odd Shaped Buildings on Custom Builds page.
Posh Sheds – Beyond the Basics
Why Settle for a Shed When You Can Have a Retreat? Forget everything you know about drafty, spider-filled garden shacks. At Apex Timber Buildings, we’ve perfected the art of the “Posh Shed”—a premium, hand-crafted timber escape that looks as stunning as your home and works as hard as you do.
What Makes a Shed “Posh”?
A posh shed is defined by the details. It’s a building that invites you to stay a while, whether you’re potting plants in style or enjoying a quiet coffee away from the house.
- Architectural Flair: Choose from contemporary Pent designs or classic Apex styles with decorative trims and premium finishes.
- The “Stay Dry” Guarantee: High-grade, slow-grown timber and professional-grade roofing felt mean your interior stays bone-dry and smelling like fresh pine, not damp earth.
- Guttering & Green Living: We don’t just let rain run off the sides. Our posh sheds feature integrated guttering systems that feed into decorative water butts – saving your garden and your building’s foundations.
- Security with Style: Mortice locks and toughened glass mean your luxury retreat is as secure as it is beautiful.

Professional Timber Workshops: Your Creative Hub
A workshop is more than just a large shed; it is a functional workspace. Whether you are a joiner, a mechanic, or an artist, we customize these buildings to support your craft.
- Natural Light & Comfort: Unlike storage sheds, windows are a standard feature in our workshops to provide the essential natural light required for detailed work.
- Power & Connectivity: We design our workshops with power and lighting in mind. Whether you need multiple sockets for power tools or high-output LED lighting for a studio, we can help plan the layout to suit your equipment.
- Insulation & Lining: If you plan to use your workshop year-round, insulation and internal lining are highly recommended. This keeps the space warm in the winter, cool in the summer, and significantly reduces external noise—essential for comfort and productivity.
- Plumbing & Utilities: For creative work such as pottery, painting, or even a home dog-grooming studio, you may require running water and drainage. We can discuss the structural requirements needed to house utility connections effectively.
