Designed for gardeners and homeowners seeking to maximize their outdoor storage, the Mercia Overlap Apex Shed offers a secure and practical solution for garden tools and accessories. Its windowless design ensures privacy and security for your belongings, though it requires annual re-treatment to maintain its 10-year Anti-rot guarantee.
Apex Roofline: The classic apex roof design provides ample headroom, making it ideal for storing taller items like ladders, strimmers, and long-handled tools, ensuring efficient use of vertical space.
Windowless Design: Maximizes security and privacy for your stored items by keeping them out of sight. This also reduces vulnerability to breakage.
Overlap Board Construction: The walls are constructed using horizontal boards that overlap, creating robust panels. This design encourages rainwater to run off the building effectively, protecting the contents from moisture.
Thick Wooden Framing: Internally, the shed features thick wooden framing that supports the overlap panelling, providing a rigid and long-lasting structural integrity.
Solid Sheet Board Floor & Roof: Both the floor and roof are made from durable solid sheet board, a material composed of tightly compacted oriented strands, offering a stable and reliable surface for storage and weather protection.
Ethically Sourced Timber: Manufactured in the UK using FSC-certified timber, ensuring the wood comes from responsibly managed forests.
Conditional 10-Year Anti-rot Guarantee: Offers long-term peace of mind regarding the timber's resistance to rot, provided annual re-treatment guidelines are followed.
12-Month Manufacturer's Warranty: Covers manufacturing defects for the first year, ensuring quality and reliability from purchase.

The Mercia Overlap Apex Shed - 3 x 5ft is engineered to be a dependable outdoor storage unit, particularly suited for smaller gardens or specific storage needs. Its compact 3 x 5ft footprint makes it an excellent choice for tidying away gardening essentials without dominating your outdoor space. The apex roofline is a significant advantage, allowing users to store items that might not fit in sheds with lower roof profiles, such as spades, rakes, strimmers, and even smaller ladders upright, maximizing every inch of storage. The windowless design is crucial for security, making it an ideal place to store valuable gardening equipment, bikes, or even seasonal outdoor furniture without them being visible to passersby. The overlap board construction combined with thick wooden framing ensures a robust and weather-resistant shell, channeling rainwater away effectively and keeping the interior dry. This shed performs reliably as a dry, secure, and organized home for your garden tools and accessories, helping to prolong their lifespan and keep your garden tidy.
Your Mercia Overlap Apex Shed is designed for a stress-free assembly process. It comes with all the necessary fixtures and fittings, along with clear manufacturer's recommendations to guide you through construction. We recommend setting up the shed on a flat, level, and firm base, such as concrete, paving slabs, or a timber shed base, to ensure stability and longevity. Two people are typically recommended for assembly.
This 3 x 5ft shed is compatible with most garden environments, particularly those with limited space. It's ideal for storing a wide range of garden tools, equipment, pots, garden furniture cushions, and other outdoor accessories. Its rustic appearance, with a brown colour family, generally blends well with natural garden aesthetics.
To ensure the longevity of your Mercia shed and to maintain its conditional 10-year Anti-rot guarantee, annual re-treatment of the timber is essential. Use a high-quality timber preservative or wood treatment specifically designed for outdoor use. This will protect the wood from rot, decay, and insect infestation. Regularly check the roofing felt for any damage and repair promptly to prevent water ingress. Keep the area around the shed clear of debris to prevent moisture build-up against the timber.
