Reverse Apex Sheds

What is a Reverse Apex Shed?

Reverse apex sheds have the same pointed roof of an apex shed, with the entrance doors being on the side of the shed instead of the front. The 2 sloping sides of the roof will slope down towards the front and back.

Reverse apex sheds retain the storage benefits of an apex shed, with the benefit of giving easier access to your garden equipment and a design which sits along the wall lengthways, which suits some gardens better.
