Description
Why this oak apex gazebo with black shingles works so well
Katepal black shingle roof
The Katepal black shingle roof delivers excellent weather protection with a sharp, contemporary finish. Made from high-performance SBS bitumen, the shingles are flexible, tear-resistant, and built to perform in UK conditions while adding a bold, architectural look.
Apex roof with generous overhang
The pitched apex design encourages efficient rainwater run-off, while the integrated overhang provides added shelter at the front and sides. This makes the space beneath more usable for outdoor dining, seating, or entertaining in changing weather.
Premium solid oak construction
Crafted from high-quality oak, this gazebo offers outstanding strength, longevity, and natural character. Oak’s dense grain delivers a premium feel and ages beautifully over time, developing a refined patina without compromising structural integrity.
Heavy-duty 6" x 6" posts with 4" x 2" beams
Large-section posts and substantial beams create a solid, confidence-inspiring structure. Designed for long-term outdoor use, the frame provides excellent stability and resistance to movement.
Supplied in kit form for straightforward installation
All components are precision prepared and supplied with clear instructions and all fixings included. Suitable for experienced DIY installers or professional fitters.
Designed for modern outdoor living
Ideal for patios, dining areas, hot tubs, or garden seating spaces, this gazebo creates a sheltered focal point that blends contemporary styling with natural materials.

FAQs
What makes this oak apex gazebo different from standard garden gazebos?
This gazebo is built from solid oak rather than softwood, giving it far greater strength, stability, and lifespan. Combined with a Katepal shingle roof and an apex design with overhang, it’s intended as a permanent outdoor structure rather than a temporary shelter.
Is the Katepal black shingle roof suitable for UK weather?
Yes. Katepal black shingles are SBS-modified bitumen shingles designed to cope with heavy rain, wind, and temperature changes. They offer excellent durability and long-term weather resistance.
What benefit does the roof overhang provide?
The overhang extends the roof beyond the main frame, providing extra protection from rain and sun. This makes the space underneath more comfortable for seating, dining, or entertaining.
Does oak need to be pressure treated?
No. Oak is naturally resistant to rot and decay and does not require pressure treatment. It can be left untreated to weather naturally or treated if you prefer to maintain its original colour.
Is this gazebo suitable for year-round use?
Yes. When installed correctly and securely fixed, this oak gazebo is suitable for permanent outdoor use throughout the year.
How is the gazebo supplied?
The gazebo is supplied in kit form with all components pre-prepared. Clear installation instructions and all fixings are included.
Can this gazebo be installed as a freestanding structure?
No. For safety and long-term stability, the gazebo must be securely fixed into the ground using one of the recommended fixing options.
Are bespoke sizes available?
Yes. In addition to the standard size range, bespoke oak gazebos can be manufactured to suit your exact measurements and layout.
Can additional weatherproofing be added?
Yes. A waterproof membrane can be added and will be supplied pre-cut to the exact size of the roof for enhanced weather protection.
How long will an oak gazebo like this last?
With correct installation and minimal maintenance, an oak gazebo can last for several decades, making it a long-term investment in your outdoor living space.

Help with my new garage roof!
Trade Warehouse could not have been more helpful. They very patiently guided a roofing newbie through all of the stuff I would need to do the job and provided helpful tips along the way. It's rare to find a company offering such a fantastic level of customer service as standard. I would highly recommend them and will certainly use them again.

Garden Storage
My contractor (Charlie Keep) recommended you to me so I could order the materials online for delivery direct to my home. These were for a project to construct a Garden Storage Area. The materials were perfect and the whole process was simple and slick with materials delivered on time and very well packaged. Charlie has since completed the project & I am very happy with the outcome.
