THE APENT
YOUR SPACE TO ESCAPE
A fantastic alternative to traditional slate, slate-effect tiles are a lightweight, affordable option for those wanting to achieve the appearance of a slate roof.
The tiles are easy to install, come in a range of colour options and are much easier to maintain. Our slate-effect tiles** are the ideal solution when seeking an attractive, hassle-free roofing choice for your garden room.
As versatile as mono-pitched garden rooms are, it always excites us when we get to explore buildings that have an apex roofline. The pitched roof enhances the character and feel of this particular garden room.

The external cladding for our garden rooms is tanalised and internally as standard comes with untreated timber, you’ll see that you have a choice between pressure treated and untreated wood. Untreated wood is exactly what it sounds like, just fresh, new wood.
However, pressure treated wood has been through a process that makes it longer lasting. The wood itself is placed in wood preservative, and then put into a vacuum. The vacuum forces all of that preservative deep inside the wood, meaning it gets completely saturated and is treated even on the inside.
This kind of treatment does two things. Firstly, it protects the timber against the damp, which in our climate is extremely important. This means that you can safely leave pressure treated timber outside, and even placing it in contact with wet soil is fine (though it’s advisable to avoid this if possible). Secondly, the chemicals that are in the preservative will also help to protect the wood against insects, so you won’t need to worry about critters eating your new garden room.
Pitched roofs are a fantastic choice for those seeking to create a more traditional look and can be coordinated stylishly with classic bespoke homes.
All our buildings are fitted by expert craftspeople and are extremely long lasting due to the high quality weather resistant treatment and robust build.
Thanks to the sloped design of the pitched roof, rainwater drains away easily.
