Highwood Life Span 4′ x 6′ Compressed Overlapping Lean-To Apex Lodge

Sheds.co.uk
£444.00

The Highwood Life Span 4′ x 6′ Compressed Overlapping Lean-To Apex Lodge is strong and secure. Ideal for extra storage capacity for large items such as wheelbarrows that benefit from being sheltered but don’t need indoor storage. It features a 6ft depth and comes with an integrated Lean-To that serves as an excellent log store. The Lean-To can be positioned on either side of your Apex Lodge to match your garden layout.

This wooden lodge showcases an improved design with fully interchangeable panels. This setup allows for delivery in smaller sections, offering more wood for easier assembly, increased layout options, and a significantly sturdier lodge overall. In general, the Highwood Life Span range of lodges represents the top-tier quality in overlapping lodges that we have ever manufactured.

Sustained by framing that is 30% thicker than most wooden lodges, this 6×4 lodge with lean-to is constructed using straight-cut 7mm planks that overlap to allow for flexibility, accommodating natural wood movements throughout the seasons and promoting rainwater drainage. The compressed treatment applied to this lodge comes with a 25-year anti-decay guarantee, providing freedom from upkeep as no preservative treatment is EVER necessary! With a Life Span Lodge, one lodge will suffice for a lifetime!

Instead of the usual OSB (oriented strand board), this lodge features a solid wood base, enabling the storage of heavier items. The apex roof of this lodge is made of robust 8mm solid sheet material, completed with a protective green mineral felt covering for comprehensive weather resistance.

The entrance to this 6×4 lodge includes a double-Z frame for added durability and prevention of door sagging. Security is bolstered with concealed hinges and a padlock-ready, easy-to-use hasp and staple latch for safeguarding valuable items (padlock not included). Moreover, the door can be set up to swing open from either the left or right side – the choice is yours. The lodge boasts shatter-resistant PET glazing, which is more secure than traditional glass and does not tarnish or lose color over time.

Presenting a classic apex design, neatly-planed barge boards, and a diamond-shaped finial, this wooden lodge with lean-to will enhance any garden. Crafted by hand in the UK using sustainably certified timber, this garden structure comes with a comprehensive assortment of fastenings and clear instructions to facilitate an effortless assembly process. The Lean-To should be erected concurrently with the lodge.

This lodge is delivered at zero cost to most UK locations through Highwood Garden’s White Glove Delivery Service, ensuring that it is brought to your chosen location in the garden with all packaging removed.

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.
