Product Information
Full details
The Empire Premier Apex Shed 5X12 is designed for homeowners seeking a durable, low-maintenance storage solution for garden tools and outdoor equipment. Its standout feature is the 12mm tongue and groove shiplap cladding, which provides excellent structural integrity and weather resistance, though the requirement for a solid, level base for installation is a critical caveat to note before purchase.

FAQs
Does the shed include a floor?
Yes, the shed includes a structural floor suitable for standard garden tool storage.
Can I change the door position after assembly?
The door is designed to be hung left or right during initial assembly, but changing it later would require partially disassembling the front panel.
How often should I treat the timber?
While pressure treated, we recommend applying a high-quality wood preservative annually to maintain weather resistance and appearance.
Is the roof felt included?
Yes, the shed comes with appropriate roofing felt to cover the apex roof.
What tools are needed for assembly?
You will typically need a cordless drill, a hammer, a spirit level, a tape measure, and a stepladder.
Troubleshooting
Door is sticking or not closing flush
Check if the base has settled unevenly; use shims under the corners to level the shed frame.
Water pooling on the roof
Verify the shed is level on all sides and ensure the roof felt is pulled taut and securely nailed.
Difficulty aligning panels during assembly
Ensure you are working on a flat surface and use a spirit level to confirm every wall section is plumb before securing.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable pressure-treated timber construction
- Versatile door placement options
- Easy assembly via pre-made panels
- Classic aesthetic suitable for various garden types
Cons
- Requires a perfectly level foundation
- Narrow 5-foot width may limit storage of oversized items
- Minimal natural light as it is a windowless design
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires at least two people to handle the pre-assembled panels safely. Before starting, ensure you have a firm, level base made of concrete, paving slabs, or a pressure-treated timber frame. Setting the shed on uneven ground can lead to door misalignment and water ingress. For care, while the wood is pressure-treated, applying an annual water-repellent wood preservative will help maintain the beige finish and provide an extra layer of protection against the elements. Regularly clear debris from the roof to ensure the felt remains intact and water drains freely.
