A new twist on an old favourite, the Tiger Workman Apex, provides all the classic features of the XL Heavyweight Workshop, with a new design. Built in a range of sizes, the Workman provides practical and ample storage for any outdoor space. Built to the same measurements as the heavyweight workshop, the Workman boasts fantastic eaves height, making it an ideal space for storage or as a workshop. The double doors have been repositioned on the long side of the building, allowing the Workman to be pushed up against a wall or fence, ensuring easy access. With windows positioned either side of the door, the Workman’s' design is aesthetically pleasing, but it is safe to say its beauty is matched by its brawn. Finished with 12mm shiplap cladding and supported by ultra strong rounded four corner framework, all crafted from the highest quality European softwoods, this building is truly built to last.
BEWARE OF CHEAP IMITATION GARDEN SHEDS:
Unlike many budget competitor products this garden shed is built with only the highest quality materials and many garden buildings in the market simply cannot compare!
It is essential that this garden shed is assembled strictly in accordance with the instructions supplied on a firm and level base constructed from a suitably durable material. The garden shed should also be treated shortly after assembly and then annually thereafter with an appropriate high quality preservative and all glazing units must be sealed, inside and out, with silicone or other water tight sealant.
For more information on how to correctly assemble and maintain your garden shed please consult our comprehensive help centre.
Please note - 10x8 and 12x8 floors may come in two sections with the floor joists running the 8ft direction. For clarification please speak to one of our telephone advisors.
All images and photography used is purely for illustrative purposes only – actual product colours may vary slightly due to the digital photography process and variations in individual user monitor settings.

Tiger buildings are constructed with shiplap cladding, which is superior tongue & groove timber board with a flush-fit finish. Each solid plank is 12mm thick with scalloping to help prevent water ingress. A smooth, solid, strong barrier pre-treated to meet our high quality standards.
All Tiger sheds are made with tongue & groove timber boards throughout – no cheap and crumbly OSB board at all (unlike some companies we could mention). Our timber is sustainably sourced. We use slow grown European softwood, cut in our woodmill to a high grade.
Tiger garden buildings come with TigerFelt® as standard. This is a thicker, polyester-backed high-grade mineral felt to provide a reliable, weatherproof barrier with reduced wear and tear. Only premium quality roofing felt will do!
We use slow-grown timber in our framing to provide the sturdy support your shed needs. Sustainably sourced, it’s over an inch thick, and rounded for a smoother finish. Slow-grown timber is better quality, and the heavyweight 28x44mm thickness will help the building stand the test of time.
All Tiger buildings come with solid, coated steel fittings for a secure, elegant finish for your peace of mind. Unlike many competitors, all Tiger buildings come with a free door pull as standard.
Beware of imitations which use cheaper styrene plastic windows (which tend to ‘mist’ over time). All Tiger windowed sheds & summerhouse come with 3mm thick toughened glass as standard. This glazing is more shock and heat resistant than normal shed windows, making your Tiger all the more durable. TigerFlex® models also arrive with the glass pre-fitted, making assembly even easier!
We treat our timber with TigerSkin, a specially formulated preservative, developed over many years – for a non-greasy weatherproof seal. This pre-treatment applied to the wood and then carefully dried to give your shed an extra layer of protection 365 days a year.
Your Tiger garden building is simple to put together, using the helpful instructions available, and will look great on a firm & level base constructed from a suitably durable material. We also offer an installation service for all Tiger log cabins.
All Tiger buildings are made to exactly the same high standards, with exactly the same quality timber – so they get exactly the same market-leading Tiger 20 Year Guarantee. Tigers are built to last for decades.

It is essential that all garden buildings are assembled on a firm and level base constructed from an appropriate and durable material.
Without the correct base, buildings may be very difficult to assemble. In many cases, an incorrect base may lead to future deterioration of the product if assembly cannot be completed correctly as a result. Problems may include doors dropping out of square and becoming difficult to open and close, and/or water leakage.
Assembling a garden building on an incorrect base is also likely to invalidate any guarantee that your product may carry.
For full details and examples of how to create an appropriate base visit our Build a Base Guide.
Yes: unlike many competitors, all Tiger buildings with a door come with a lock and key as standard - you do not need to pay for these as an additional extra.
The lock will be pre-fitted, and the key will either be attached to the door framing or in the polytube containing all the fixtures and fittings.
For most sheds and summerhouses it is a standard press lock, while for pressure-treated buildings and log cabins it is a 3-lever lock.
There should be an assembly video available to help put your building together. These cover different building types rather than individual building ranges, so while they are very helpful in showing how different building features are fitted please always use the instructions for your building model.
You can find the assembly video in the video player section on the product page, and also in the video library in the Help Centre - just click this link.

If you would like to add window beading to your shed, select the Window Glazing Kit from the Window Options as you customise your shed.
To fix, apply sealant evenly around the inner window frame, then place window pane into the frame and press carefully to bond the sealant.
Position the beading around the inner frame and gently tap into place, starting with the top beading. Secure with panel pins (x3 left and right, x2 top and bottom).
Then apply the clear sealant evenly around the outer window edge.
There is an easy video guide to follow at in the Tiger Help Centre.
DO NOT mistake the long corner strips supplied with your shed for window beading.
TigerFlex sheds are delivered with fitted windows together with beading so do not require additional beading.
This is a very helpful accessory to keep your garden building door(s) open when you need easy access or additional ventilation on hot days. Hook and eye sets are simple to fit, and there are also helpful videos in the Help Centre here (or visit https://www.tigersheds.com/helpcentre/videos/).
Firstly, to find the best position, hold hook level on building suitable for good placement of eye on door. The eye location should match door framing on inside door, away from any glazing. Mark hook location on building (use spirit level if preferred). Then screw in the hook at chosen position.Then use the fixed hook to relocate the eye on the door and mark its location. Screw the eye into door frame - and the hook should fit securely into eye.
