Description

The 1.2m x 1.8m Cottage Overlap Apex Garden Shed is an economical yet reliable storage option that brings traditional charm to your outdoor space. Featuring classic weatherboard-style overlap cladding, this compact apex shed offers straightforward practicality for garden tools, equipment and everyday storage needs.

Designed with a solid close-boarded timber floor and a sturdy tongue-and-groove roof, the Cottage Overlap Apex delivers good structural integrity and protection from the elements — a step up from thinner economy builds. The apex roof design not only enhances weather resistance but also creates useful headroom inside, making it easier to store larger items or install shelving.

A glazed window section lets in natural light, helping to keep the interior bright and easy to use, and can be fitted on either side to suit your layout. The single door offers comfortable, secure access, and options such as toughened glass or perspex windows, or a door hinged on the right, allow you to tailor the shed to your requirements.

Combining a timeless look with practical performance, the Cottage Overlap Apex 1.2m x 1.8m is an excellent choice for those after straightforward garden storage with quality you can rely on.

❓Below are many of the Frequently asked questions we get about our range of Garden Sheds and Timber Frame Summerhouses (Panel Construction with Frame and Cladding)

Use the down arrows to the right to reveal the answers

We supply a wide range of standard sheds, pet housing, and garden storage solutions. Bespoke sizes and designs are also available for customers who want something tailored to their needs.

Our sheds are built using panels with a strong internal frame and exterior cladding. This ensures durability, stability, and a neat finish.  The sheds unless requested are sprayed with a "Travel Coat" of preservative.  This protection is designed to give customers time to fully treat their shed with a suitable timber treatment. We recommend that you treat your shed within 6 months with a high quality treatment.  We recommend and supply Sadolin through our shop.  In some areas we are also able to quote for the full painting service of your shed.  Please ask our team.

Yes, both the frame and exterior cladding thickness can be upgraded. Thicker framing improves strength and stability, while thicker cladding enhances durability and weather resistance.

Yes, bespoke sheds can be designed to include taller buildings, larger doors, barn doors, different window styles, and alternative roof configurations.

All sheds come with a manufacturer’s warranty covering structural integrity and materials.

Most sheds fall under permitted development rights and do not require planning permission. However, this depends on size, height, and placement, so we recommend checking with your local authority.

We require details of your preferred size, roof style, window configuration, and door type. Larger doors, barn doors, and custom layouts can all be accommodated. If possible a rough sketch will help us understand your requirements.

Yes, our online product configurator allows you to design your shed, workshop, or storage solution exactly to your requirements without choosing a standard model.

Yes, bespoke sheds are priced slightly higher due to customization. However, the configurator ensures you get a building tailored to your exact needs.

You can choose from different roof configurations, including apex and pent styles, depending on your preference and garden layout. Whilst Standard Shed Roof Felt comes as standard you can upgrade to shingle tiles, cedar shingles or Tapco Slate effect tiles on Apex models and EPDM Rubber for Pent Roof Models.  EPDM has a very long life so will not need to be replaced.  Standard Shed felt usually lasts between 5-10 years before it needs to be replaced.

Yes, bespoke sheds can be designed with larger doors or barn‑style doors for easier access and a distinctive look.

Absolutely. Bespoke sheds are ideal for workshops, hobby spaces, or tailored storage solutions thanks to their flexibility in size and design.

Standard sheds are typically delivered within 2–4 weeks, depending on the model ordered.

Many customers choose to assemble their garden sheds themselves using the provided instructions. We also offer professional installation services with our own employed installation team if you prefer a hassle‑free experience. Many customers prefer us to install their building especially as they may not have the technical ability, experience or tools required.  Our teams are very experienced and offer a very high quality of service backed with years of many exceptional reviews. If you are using a third-party fitter, then take care to ensure they have the correct experience.  As our fitters are all directly employed by Cabins Unlimited, we are best placed to install your building. Check if your shed supplier has their own team as many outsource with negative consequences should something go wrong. Not something you will experience with Cabins Unlimited!

A solid and perfectly level base is essential for any garden shed. We recommend our Eco-Base Plastic Grid System called Probase owing to it allowing water to drain away from the base of the building but other alternatives including concrete pads, paving slabs, or a timber frame foundation to ensure stability and longevity.

Yes, bespoke sheds allow you to specify window placement and style. Our configurator allows you to locate your window in any wall.  Standard sheds usually offer left or right wall placement.

Standard sheds are ideal for storage and seasonal use. With upgrades to framing, cladding, and insulation, bespoke sheds can be adapted for workshops or more frequent use.  Please talk to our team about insulation and cladding options on our sheds.

Yes it can be lined, insulated and boarded, quotation available on request.
