Headroom to work in
Tall sheds
The quickest way to fall out of love with a shed is to stoop in it. If you plan to work inside — at a bench, over a bike, potting through spring — the internal height matters more than an extra foot of floor.
Our apex buildings are the tall ones: 1757mm of internal height at the eaves, whatever the size, and a ridge that climbs with the width — 2021mm on a 4ft-wide building, 2417mm (7ft 11in of standing room down the centre line) on a 10ft-wide, about 66mm more for every foot. A given size is the same inside on every specification. Pent roofs run 1887mm at the front to 1757mm at the rear, which suits a fence line better but gives up the ridge.
Those figures are the real internal measurements, not nominal ones, so what you read here is the headroom you get. Every apex shed below is ready to order — and if you need a footprint the shop does not list, the Build Studio prices any apex size from 4ft to 10ft wide and up to 20ft deep, instantly.

Good to know
How tall are your sheds inside?
Apex buildings give 1757mm at the eaves and a ridge from 2021mm on a 4ft-wide to 2417mm on a 10ft-wide; pent buildings run 1887mm at the front to 1757mm at the rear. These are internal, usable measurements, and a given size is the same inside across our standard, Heavy Duty and composite specifications.
Do I need planning permission for a tall shed?
Usually not — most garden buildings under 2.5m eaves height sit within permitted development. Position and use can change the answer, so our planning guide walks through the exceptions before you commit.
Apex or pent — which should I choose?
Apex gives the most standing room, down the centre where you actually work. Pent keeps a low, modern line that tucks against fences and walls. If the shed is a workspace, go apex; if it lives on a boundary, pent usually wins — our comparison page puts the specs side by side.
