Want A Veranda That Feels Bigger, Taller, And More Impressive?
Some outdoor structures provide shelter, but still feel low and restrictive once you are underneath them.
The Simplicity Free Apex is designed to do the opposite. Its pitched roof creates extra headroom through the centre of the structure, making the whole space feel lighter, taller, and more open from the moment you step beneath it.
The Apex Roof Changes The Feel Of The Space Completely
The biggest difference with this design is not just how it looks from the outside, but how it feels underneath.
By lifting the roof line through the centre, the Apex design creates a far more spacious atmosphere than a flatter structure. You get the protection overhead, but without the boxed-in feeling that some verandas can create.
It feels more airy, more generous, and more architectural.
Designed For Statement Outdoor Spaces
This is a particularly strong option for larger patios, detached seating areas, and outdoor living zones where visual presence matters.
The freestanding format allows you to position it where it works best in the garden, while the pitched profile gives it a more substantial and intentional appearance than a simpler flat-roof system.
It does not just provide shelter. It creates a focal point.
Why The 150x150mm Posts Matter
With a projection of up to 6m, proper structural support is essential.
The heavy-duty 150x150mm aluminium posts give the veranda the strength and stability needed for freestanding installation, while also contributing to the premium architectural look of the structure.
It feels solid, balanced, and built to stay exactly where it belongs.
Excellent Weather Performance, Naturally
The pitched roof does more than improve the look and feel of the veranda. It also helps rainwater run away more efficiently.
Combined with the integrated drainage system, this keeps the structure performing properly in wet weather while the area below stays far more usable and comfortable.
It is a practical design choice as much as an aesthetic one.
Still Bright And Open Beneath The Roof
The 6mm toughened glass panels allow daylight to pass through cleanly, so the covered area remains bright and inviting.
You still get that outdoor feeling and natural light, but with proper protection from rain and overhead exposure.
Freestanding Freedom Or Wall-Mounted Flexibility
The Simplicity Free Apex can be installed as a freestanding structure or wall-mounted if your layout calls for it.
That gives you more freedom than standard attached verandas, especially if the best place for cover is away from the house or if you want to create a dedicated outdoor room elsewhere in the garden.
When To Choose Free Apex Over Free Mono
If you want a structure with more headroom, a grander visual presence, and a more open feel underneath, the Apex is the stronger choice.
Where the Free Mono offers crisp modern lines, the Free Apex brings extra height and a more dramatic architectural profile.
It is ideal when you want the veranda to feel like a real feature, not just a practical cover.
Create An Outdoor Space That Feels As Good As It Looks
Once installed, the Simplicity Free Apex gives you more than shelter. It creates a taller, brighter, more inviting place to sit, entertain, and enjoy your garden.
It gives you freedom of placement, proper weather protection, and a structure with genuine presence.
