Forest Beckwood Summerhouses boast a completely modular structure, pressure-treated lumber, and an impressive 25-year warranty, making them a high-end selection of exquisitely crafted summer houses, designed to endure the test of time. The specific variant here is the Double Door Reverse Apex Summer House measuring 8′ x 6′ (2.42m x 1.99m). Here are the unique features that set it apart…

Premium, Fully-Modular Summer House
This 8×6 summer house is handmade in the UK using top-notch 12mm shiplap cladding, ensuring outstanding durability, exceptional elegance, and total weather resistance. With a 28mm structure, this summer house’s fully modular design involves smaller panels but more timber, resulting in easier assembly and an extraordinarily robust construction. This modular setup also offers a leading choice of door and window placements, allowing customization to meet precise specifications.

T & G Flooring and Weather-Resistant Roofing
The floor is crafted from superior 12mm tongue and groove, capable of supporting heavier summer house furnishings and regular traffic. Pressure-treated bearers facilitate air circulation beneath the summer house, safeguarding this crucial area from moisture and decay. The 8mm solid sheet reverse apex roof is outfitted with a green mineral felt cover for complete weatherproofing. The diamond-shaped finials add a lovely touch to the already striking appearance of this wooden summer house.

Entryways and Panes
The glazed double doors provide convenient access to the interior, equipped with robust handles, a tower bolt, and turn buttons. Alongside the 5 large, fixed windows, they flood the interior with natural light. All glazing is acrylic, which is lightweight, break-resistant, and much safer than traditional glass.

Low Maintenance with a Leading Warranty
The timber used in this summer house construction is FSC® certified, sourced only from sustainable, well-managed forests. It is then pressure treated and backed by a top-tier 25-year anti-rot guarantee, eliminating the need for further anti-rot treatments, saving both time and money.

White Glove Delivery
Forest’s White Glove Service provides complimentary delivery of this summer house to most UK locations, directly into the customer’s yard, with all packaging removed. Clear instructions and a comprehensive set of fasteners are included for a simple assembly.

Additional Enhancements
Optional enhancements comprise a professional installation service and a pressure-treated summer house 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.
