Why this building

Made for training in.

A pent roof slopes low inside. An apex roof gives you the height down the middle, where you train.

2,285mm

headroom under the ridge, down the middle of the building (1,757mm at the eaves)

42″

double doors (1,067mm wide) to get a bench, rower or bike in

Windows

along one side for daylight and fresh air while you train

7.58′ × 11.75′

external size; the floor is pressure-treated timber boards

Check tall kit first. A power rack, or pressing a bar overhead, needs more height than most garden buildings have. Measure your kit against 2,285mm in the middle and 1,757mm at the sides before you order.

From delivery to first session

Five steps to your garden gym.

  4. 4

    Lay a gym floor

  5. 5

    Add power if you want it

    Lights, a fan or a heater should be fitted by a qualified electrician. Not supplied by us.

Good to know

Garden gym questions.

Delivery details
Is it tall enough to train in?

The 8×12 Apex Shed is 2,285mm high inside under the ridge, which runs down the middle of the building, and 1,757mm at the eaves along the sides. Put your bench and anything you stand up for in the middle. Tall kit like a power rack, or pressing a bar overhead, needs more height, so check your kit against those measurements before ordering.

Can I put heavy weights on the floor?

The floor is 24mm nominal (18mm finished) pressure-treated boards. We don't publish a floor-load rating, so lay rubber gym flooring to protect the boards and spread the load, keep very heavy items off the middle of the span, and ask us about your kit before ordering.

Will my equipment fit through the door?

The double doors open to 42″ (1,067mm) wide. Measure the narrowest side of each piece of kit, or how small it folds, against that.

Will it be warm enough in winter?

Our buildings come without wiring, heating or insulation, so it is a shelter rather than a heated room. If you want lights or a heater, have a qualified electrician fit them.

Do I need planning permission for a garden gym?

Usually not, if it stays within the permitted-development limits for outbuildings. Check with your council if your home is listed or in a conservation area.

Who builds it?

You do: it is designed for DIY assembly, with numbered panels, every fixing and a step-by-step guide. Most sizes take two people half a day to a day. We deliver to the kerbside and don't offer installation.

Order by 2pm, delivered tomorrow.

Free next-day delivery to the UK mainland. Kerbside delivery, DIY assembly.
