Timber Buildings
Custom Builds
When we say… “if you can imagine it, we can build it”, we’re not joking. At Apex Timber Buildings we love a good challenge, whether thats a complicated roof section or squeezing a building into an odd shaped space.

Just have a look at some of the builds below, and call us with your challenge.
Odd Shaped Buildings
Not everyone has the space to pick and choose where they want there garden room, so over the years we’ve learned to work within the space available, constructing and delivering ‘unique’ buildings.
Below are just a few of the unique timber buildings we have designed and built for our customers in the North East of England. So if you have a challenging space get in touch. We will listen to your ideas and offer some of our own to help create a perfect posh shed or glorious garden room!
Pergolas & Decking
A pergola or arbor, consisting of vertical posts, supporting cross beams and lattice work, creates an interesting architectural element to your garden.
Pergolas can be used to:
- Provide cover for a seating area, hot tub or play area.
- A shaded walkway or passageway.
- A structure for growing climbing plants.
- Screen utilities or parking areas.
Children’s Playhouses
The only thing we love more than building timber buildings, is seeing the reaction of our customers when we hand them over, and we don’t get a better reaction than when it’s a children’s playhouse we’re delivering.
As with all our buildings the playhouses are built with strength in mind, after all they need to be strong enough for big kids too!
If you can think it, we can build it.
Sheds & Workshops
We have a number of standard designs and sizes for our sheds and workshops, with either an apex or pent style roof, some of which we keep in stock ready to deliver and assemble at short notice. Please get in touch for details of our current stock.
Our sheds and workshops are all built using the same timber frame construction and can be scaled up or down to suit anything from a log store, tool shed or bike shed to a full size workshop or garage.
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.
Animal Shelters
We design and build animal shelters for domestic, professional and commercial applications. As with all our buildings these can be tailored to fit the site, use and budget.
Summer houses
Your summerhouse offers a place for you to enjoy your garden regardless of the British weather, escape the hustle and bustle of the household, enjoy a good book, a glass of wine or maybe both. Apex Timber Buildings, what would you do in yours?
- All our summerhouses are hand built to your exact specifications.
- You can choose the specifications you want, for your building.
- We build your summerhouse off site in sections then deliver it to your site where we assemble it, reducing any inconvenience to you.
- We can help you as much or as little as you want. You can lay your own base in preparation for your summerhouse or install the internal fittings yourself, alternatively just tell us what you want and let us do it all. See our options to get some ideas of what you would like to do with your summerhouse.
Our summerhouses are not mass produced!
So what does this mean when comparing our buildings to other mass produced summerhouses.
Well for a start you don’t need to find a summerhouse to fit your garden, we build our garden rooms to your measurements. It also means we hand select each piece of wood as we build your summerhouse, so if we come across a badly warped or knotted piece of wood we don’t use it.
We can tailor your building to suit what you want it for
Our clients have used our buildings for all manor of business and recreational activities including; dog grooming parlour, art studio, massage salon, home gym and music studio. Take a look at the Customer Gallery page.
Built to last
The one thing we can say with confidence about our Summerhouses is they are strong, all our buildings feature a timber stud wall frame construction using either 50x38mm or 75x50mm PSE timber. Joists are set equally on all walls ensuring they don’t exceed 600mm centres for greater strength.

Corner Summerhouses
Corner summerhouses can be designed to fit snugly into the corner or provide a commanding feature, positioned to capture the last hours of sun.
Greenhouses
Greenhouses made with a timber frame offer an attractive alternative to metal or plastic greenhouses, and like all our buildings, being able to specify exactly what size and shape you want means you get the greenhouse that suits you best. You can even choose a building with a green house at one end and a panelled area at the other!
…and Potting Sheds
The UK’s inclement weather is a strong argument for a potting shed to provide a warm and dry place to sow seeds, pot seedlings or prune potted plants. It offers dry storage for various tools, seeds, compost and not forgetting a comfortable spot for well deserved cuppa.
Garden Rooms
The demand for garden rooms has seen a huge increase over the last few years, even before the COVID pandemic. Our customers are wanting to utilise space in their gardens for work, additional living space or recreational activities.
Unlike our more traditional summerhouses, garden rooms are an extension of our homes and generally require at the very least electricity and wifi, but more often than not, customers are wanting plumbing and multi-media installations too.
Home Office & Studios
Home offices provide part time and full time homeworkers a place to separate their business activities from their home life. The opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of family life to a place where they can concentrate without distraction.
Recreational Garden Rooms
Finding room to relax, meditate, play a musical instrument or craft is more reasons we are seing an increased demand for our garden rooms. Spaces where equipment can be set up and left, ready for us to enjoy when we finally get some time to ourselves.
The Garden Pub / Bar
Last but by no means least is the garden bar or pub in a shed. During and after lockdown, our customers desire to socialise and enjoy time relaxing with their favourite tipple has been evident. The desire to have your own micro pub at home has been a clear winner for many and the trend doesn’t seem to be slowing.
