Forest has introduced its finest range of overlap cabins with the 4Life™ Pressure-Treated Sheds. These sheds come in various designs and dimensions, all crafted expertly in the United Kingdom. The 7×5 Apex Hut (2.18m x 1.64m) is suitable for general outdoor storage in various garden sizes.

Pressure-treated timber with a 4Life™ Assurance
This timber hut is pressure treated to combat decay and is backed by an unmatched 25-year anti-rot warranty, the most extended warranty available. The wood requires no re-treatment, saving both time and money. A single 4Life™ Shed will suffice!

Enhanced Modular Structure
Featuring an improved fully modular layout, this garden hut is delivered in smaller interchangeable panel sections, simplifying assembly compared to most timber huts. This design allows for a leading selection of door and window placements, enabling customization to meet specific needs. With 30% more framing than standard timber huts, this 7×5 hut is not only easy to assemble and adaptable but also exceptionally robust.

Cladding, Foundation, and Roof
The walls comprise 7mm overlap cladding for efficient rainwater runoff and flexibility as the timber naturally adjusts to the seasons. Unlike many other overlap huts, the boards have straight cuts, providing a more stylish appearance.

Constructed from 14mm solid timber, the floor is 40% thicker than standard shed flooring and includes pressure-treated bearers for added ground moisture protection. The roof consists of 8mm solid sheet reinforced by a metal truss bracket, covered with premium mineral felt for complete weatherproofing. The apex design, smooth-planed barge boards, and attractive finials add a stylish finish to the hut.

Secure Structure
The door can be positioned differently and has double-Z framing for added resilience to maintain its shape. Hidden security hinges and a hasp & staple plate ensure tool security (padlock not included). The 2 PET-glazed windows provide ample natural light, made from recyclable materials, shatterproof, and durable against sun fading.

White-Glove Delivery
Forest’s White Glove Service delivers this hut free of charge to most UK addresses directly into the customer’s garden, with all packaging removed. The package includes clear instructions and a complete set of fixings for straightforward assembly.

Optional Enhancements
Optional enhancements include a professional installation service and a pressure-treated shed base.

FAQs

The size of the shed depends on what you plan to store or use it for. Measure the items you plan to store and consider any additional space for moving around or future storage needs. Common sizes range from small (6×8 feet) for basic storage to large (12×24 feet) for workshops or extensive storage.
Sheds are typically made from wood, metal, or plastic. Wood is aesthetically pleasing and customizable but requires more maintenance. Metal sheds are durable and secure but can be prone to rust. Plastic sheds are low-maintenance and easy to assemble but may not be as sturdy as wood or metal.

Permit requirements vary by location. Check with your local building department or zoning office. Typically, small sheds (under 120 square feet) may not require a permit, but larger ones or those with electrical installations often do.

A solid foundation is crucial for stability and longevity. Options include concrete slabs, gravel bases, or wooden platforms. Choose a foundation based on your shed’s size, material, and the ground conditions of your site.
Look for sheds with features like weather-resistant materials, proper sealing, and robust construction. Ensure the shed has a good roof overhang, proper drainage, and secure locking mechanisms to protect against theft and weather damage.
Assembly time depends on the size and complexity of the shed. Small, simple sheds can be assembled in a few hours, while larger or more complex sheds may take a full day or more. Professional installation is also an option for those who prefer not to DIY.
Maintenance depends on the material. Wooden sheds need periodic painting or staining and checking for rot or pests. Metal sheds may need rust prevention treatments. Plastic sheds require minimal maintenance, typically just cleaning as needed.
Moving a shed is possible but can be challenging, especially for larger structures. It’s easier to move a smaller shed if it has a solid base. Consider the logistics and potential costs of moving before installation. If moving is likely, a portable shed might be a better option.
Many sheds come with detailed assembly instructions, making them suitable for DIY installation, especially smaller models. However, larger or more complex sheds may require professional installation to ensure they are properly and safely assembled. Assess your skill level, available tools, and the complexity of the shed before deciding.
