Apex Plus Wooden Gazebo Kits - Felt Shingle Roof

Yes. The Timbakit Apex Plus is designed as a substantial, permanent wooden gazebo for UK gardens. It features chunky 150 × 150mm pressure-treated timber posts together with C16 structural-grade ring beams, ridge beam, roof spars and diagonal bracing.

Unlike lightweight pop-up gazebos or temporary garden shelters, the Apex Plus is a robust timber structure designed to be securely installed onto suitable foundations.

The main difference is size and post configuration.

The standard Apex wooden gazebo is designed for smaller garden spaces and uses a four-post layout. The Apex Plus uses a six-post design, allowing us to offer significantly longer gazebo sizes while maintaining a strong, well-supported timber structure.

The Apex Plus is therefore particularly suitable for customers looking for a large wooden gazebo for outdoor dining, entertaining, hot tubs or larger garden seating areas.

The six-post design creates an additional structural bay along the length of the gazebo. This allows the Apex Plus to cover a much larger area than our standard four-post Apex gazebo while providing additional support to the ring beams and roof structure.

It also creates a balanced appearance, with three substantial 150 × 150mm posts running along each side of the gazebo.

The Apex Plus is available from 4.2m up to 7.2m in length, with width options of 2.4m, 3.0m and 3.6m.

This makes the Apex Plus particularly suitable for larger patios and outdoor living areas where a standard-sized gazebo may not provide enough covered space.

Before ordering, we recommend marking the gazebo footprint on your patio or garden so you can visualise the overall size and the usable area beneath the structure.

The Apex Plus frame is manufactured from pressure-treated spruce and uses substantial structural timber sections throughout the gazebo.

The specification includes 150 × 150mm sawn timber posts, 45 × 145mm C16 ring beams, a 45 × 145mm C16 ridge beam, 45 × 95mm C16 roof spars and 45 × 145mm diagonal braces.

The substantial timber sections help give the Apex Plus its characteristic heavy-duty appearance.

Yes. The spruce timber used for the Apex Plus frame is pressure treated to improve its resistance to moisture, fungal decay and the outdoor environment.

Because timber is a natural material, variations in colour, grain, knots and small shakes can occur and form part of the natural appearance of a substantial timber structure.

The Apex Plus is supplied with exterior plywood roof boards supplied with grey bitumen felt shingles.

The pitched apex roof provides the traditional appearance associated with a timber gazebo, while the overlapping shingle system creates a durable weather-resistant roof covering for the seating or entertaining area below.

Yes. The Apex Plus Felt Shingle Roof model includes the exterior plywood roof boards together with grey bitumen felt shingles required to complete the gazebo roof.

The roof boards are supplied cut to size as part of the DIY gazebo kit.

Yes. The Apex Plus is designed as a DIY wooden gazebo kit.

The main timber components are supplied pre-cut, with corrosion-resistant frame fixings and a step-by-step fixing guide to help with assembly.

Because this is a large, heavy-duty timber structure, we recommend having sufficient people available to safely lift and position the larger frame and roof components during installation.

The gazebo posts are supplied at a full 2.4mtr length allowing the installer to determine the appropriate finished height for the installation.

Your final gazebo height can depend on the installation method and whether the posts are being secured above ground using post supports or installed into the ground.

We recommend deciding your required walk-through and overall gazebo height before beginning installation.

A permanent wooden gazebo should be securely anchored to a suitable base.

For installations onto a suitable concrete base, bolt-down post supports can be used to secure the timber posts. Posts can also be installed using other appropriate ground-fixing methods depending on the site and foundations.

Ground fixings and bolt-down base plates are not supplied as standard with the Apex Plus gazebo and should be selected to suit your installation.

Yes, subject to the concrete base being suitable for the loads imposed by the gazebo.

One common installation method is to use bolt-down base plates secured to the concrete, with the 150 × 150mm gazebo posts then secured into the post supports.

Timbakit also provides a step-by-step guide showing how wooden gazebos and pergolas can be fixed to concrete using bolt-down base plates.

How to fix a Wooden Gazebo onto a concrete slab

Yes. Timber privacy side panel kits can be added to compatible sections of the Apex Plus gazebo to create a more sheltered outdoor space.

Adding full-height or half-height wooden sides can provide additional privacy and protection from prevailing weather while still retaining the appearance of a traditional timber gazebo.

Yes. The pressure-treated timber can be left in its natural finish or subsequently stained or painted if you would like to change its appearance.

New pressure-treated timber can contain additional moisture following manufacture, so allow the timber to dry sufficiently before applying a decorative coating and follow the coating manufacturer's instructions.

Our typical lead time for an Apex Plus wooden gazebo is approximately 4–6 weeks from order.

Each gazebo kit is prepared specifically for your order. Estimated delivery dates are calculated at checkout and you will receive an accurate date closer to your delivery.

Due to the size and weight of the timber components, Apex Plus gazebo kits are delivered using a specialist transport service rather than a standard parcel courier.

Before delivery, we will provide your scheduled delivery date along with tracking information and an estimated driver arrival time once the delivery route has been finalised.

Deliveries are made to a suitable front-of-property unloading point that is safely accessible to the delivery vehicle.

The driver cannot normally transport the gazebo components through the house, around the side of the property or into the rear garden.

Yes. Once your delivery has been scheduled and the transport route confirmed, we will send you a tracking link.

This allows you to follow the delivery vehicle route on a live map and provides the latest estimated arrival information on the day of delivery.

You do not always need to be at home for delivery, provided there is a safe and suitable front-of-property unloading area available and we have clear delivery instructions in advance.

If nobody will be present, please ensure the unloading area is accessible and free from obstructions. Delivery is made to the front of the property only, and the driver cannot carry timber through the property, around the side of the house or into a rear garden.

We recommend checking your tracking information on the day of delivery so you can follow the driver's progress and estimated arrival time.

Not always. Because these are large and heavy timber structures, vehicle payload and weight restrictions may occasionally mean that your order needs to be delivered as a split load.

If this applies to your order, we will let you know in advance and confirm the delivery arrangements with you before dispatch.
