The 4Life™ Shed Line from Forest represents the finest collection of overlap sheds the company has ever crafted. These sheds are available in various designs and dimensions, each crafted with expertise in the United Kingdom. The 8×6 Apex Shed (2.42m x 1.99m) is particularly suited for general outdoor storage in gardens of all sizes.
Quality Wood Treatment with a 4Life™ Pledge
This wooden shed is treated under pressure to resist decay and is supported by an exceptional 25-year anti-rot assurance, the lengthiest in the market. The timber requires no further treatment, resulting in considerable time and cost savings. A single 4Life™ Shed will meet all your needs!
Innovative Modular Structure
Featuring an enhanced modular design, this garden shed is supplied in smaller, interchangeable panel sections, simplifying assembly compared to most wooden sheds. This design also offers unmatched flexibility in door and window placements, enabling customization to suit specific requirements. With 30% more framing than conventional wooden sheds, this 8×6 shed is not only easy to set up and versatile but also remarkably sturdy.
Side Panels, Flooring, and Roof
Constructed with 7mm overlap cladding, the walls ensure efficient rainwater drainage and allow the timber to naturally acclimate to seasonal changes. Unlike numerous other overlap sheds, these boards have straight edges for a more refined appearance.
The floor, made from 14mm solid wood, is 40% thicker than standard shed floors and comes with pressure-treated bearers for enhanced protection against ground moisture. The roof is crafted from 8mm solid sheet, strengthened by a metal truss bracket and topped with premium mineral-felt for full weatherproofing. Its apex design, smooth-planed barge boards, and elegant finials add a sophisticated touch to its appearance.
Enhanced Security Features
The door can be positioned as desired for left or right-hand opening and includes double-Z framing for increased strength and shape retention. Concealed security hinges and a hasp & staple plate ensure the safety of valuable tools (padlock not included). The 2 PET-glazed windows allow ample natural light, crafted from recyclable materials that are shatterproof and resistant to fading or discoloration.
