Description
Hand-crafted in the heart of Devon, the Wooden Apex Gazebo with Cedar Shingle Roof – With Overhang Design combines classic form with practical outdoor performance. Its traditional dual-pitch apex roof creates a balanced, symmetrical structure that sits comfortably in both contemporary and traditional garden settings, while delivering the strength needed for long-term outdoor use.
Built for reliability in all seasons, this gazebo offers a solid, well-proportioned frame designed to provide dependable shelter for seating, dining, or social spaces where protection and presence matter equally.
With Overhang
The integrated roof overhang extends coverage beyond the main frame, offering additional protection from both rain and direct sunlight. This creates a more usable sheltered area beneath the gazebo and makes it particularly well suited to larger gardens or outdoor seating areas where comfort throughout the day is essential.
Cedar Shingle Roof
The cedar shingle roof adds natural warmth and character while delivering excellent durability outdoors. Cedar’s natural resistance to moisture and weathering makes it an ideal roofing choice, ageing gracefully over time while maintaining strong performance. The result is a gazebo that blends visual appeal with long-term functionality.

FAQs
Is the timber treated for long-term outdoor use?
Yes. All structural timber elements are pressure treated to help resist rot, moisture, and insect damage, ensuring the gazebo remains durable in outdoor conditions.
Can this apex gazebo be made to custom measurements?
Yes. In addition to standard sizes, bespoke options are available so the gazebo can be tailored to suit your exact garden layout or intended use.
How effective is the cedar shingle roof in wet weather?
Cedar shingles perform well in changing weather conditions. When combined with an optional waterproof membrane and routine care, they provide reliable protection from rainfall.
What practical benefit does the roof overhang provide?
The overhang extends the roof beyond the main frame, offering increased protection from rain and direct sunlight. This creates a more comfortable sheltered area beneath the gazebo.
How does an apex roof compare to a 4 pitch design?
An apex roof features two sloping sides that meet at a central ridge, creating a classic open feel. A 4 pitch roof slopes on all sides and meets at a single point, offering a more enclosed and symmetrical appearance.
Is planning permission required for this gazebo?
Many gazebos fall within permitted development limits, but requirements can vary depending on size, location, and local regulations. Checking with your local authority is recommended before installation.
Is the gazebo supplied fully assembled?
No. The gazebo is delivered in kit form to allow for easier transport and handling. Detailed instructions are provided to support smooth assembly.
Are all fixings included with the gazebo?
Yes. All standard fixings required to assemble and secure the gazebo are included as part of the kit.
Aftercare & Maintenance
Can the gazebo be painted or stained?
Yes. Once the timber has fully dried, water-based paints or stains can be applied. Using a UV-protective finish will help maintain the timber’s appearance over time.
What level of maintenance is recommended?
Periodic checks and cleaning are advised, along with applying a suitable wood treatment every 6–12 months to maintain protection against the elements.
How long is this gazebo designed to last?
With correct installation and regular maintenance, the gazebo is designed to deliver reliable performance for 10–20 years or more.

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.
