Description

The 10 x 8 Globel Apex Metal Shed in Grey is one of the largest models in the range, offering a spacious and dependable storage solution for gardens, allotments, and beyond. Constructed from high-tensile, hot-dipped galvanised steel, it features reinforced internal framing and base rails for extra stability. The apex roof design ensures excellent headroom and helps water to drain away effectively, preserving the structure through all seasons.

Its steel panels are carefully engineered through a multi-stage process of cutting, rolling, punching, and corrugating before being powder-coated in a contemporary grey finish. This treatment seals all edges, resists rust, and adds a durable, smooth surface that stands up to everyday wear. With a five-layer paint system, it offers excellent protection against rain and corrosion, making it a reliable long-term choice.

Centrally positioned sliding double doors along the 10ft width provide generous access—ideal for easily moving bulky items in and out. Discreet gable vents promote airflow inside, reducing condensation and helping to maintain a dry environment. The shed’s fire-retardant steel panels make it particularly well-suited for use in caravan parks and similar sites where non-combustible storage is a legal or safety requirement. Windowless walls enhance security and privacy, while the shed’s fuss-free upkeep adds further appeal.

What is Hot Dipped Galvanised:

Hot-dip galvanising is a proven process that protects steel from corrosion by coating it with a thick layer of zinc. The raw steel is submerged in molten zinc, which forms a strong metallurgical bond with the surface. This durable zinc layer acts as a barrier, shielding the steel from moisture and oxygen—both primary causes of rust.

Unlike simple painted finishes, the hot-dip galvanised coating protects even if the surface is scratched. It’s not just a coating—it’s a defence mechanism. For the Globel sheds and garages, this process begins with an unpainted steel base, known as the Base Metal Thickness (BMT), typically at 0.25mm. Once galvanised and fabricated, the components are powder-coated, resulting in a final thickness of approximately 0.3mm for added strength and resilience.

Benefits of Hot-Dip Galvanising:

Hot-dip galvanising offers long-term protection and exceptional durability—ideal for outdoor buildings like sheds, garages, and storage boxes, which must withstand harsh weather conditions year-round. Here are the key benefits:

• Corrosion Resistance – The thick zinc coating prevents rust by sealing the steel from air and moisture. Even scratched surfaces remain protected.
• Long-Lasting Finish – The steel panels are powder coated after fabrication—meaning even the edges, holes, and cut surfaces are sealed against corrosion.
• Improved Colour Consistency – Switching from pre-coloured steel to post-fabrication powder coating ensures a uniform, rich finish with fewer imperfections.
• Increased Durability – Powder coating enhances the weather resistance of the galvanised surface, extending the structure's lifespan.
• Smooth Edges and Neat Appearance – The coated edges provide a cleaner, more refined finish, reducing the risk of flaking or premature wear. 

This dual protection system—hot-dip galvanising followed by powder coating—results in a shed that’s strong, secure, stylish, and built to last.
