Roof Types

This garden shed features a traditional apex roof design, reinforced with a metal truss bracket for maximum strength. The roof is constructed from 8mm OSB and finished with a green mineral-felt cover to provide complete weatherproof protection. Smooth-planed barge boards and diamond-shaped finials complete the attractive appearance.

Dimensions

External dimensions: 8 feet wide x 6 feet deep (2.42m x 1.99m). The generous roofline provides excellent headroom inside, allowing you to store taller items comfortably.

Construction

The walls are built from 7mm overlap cladding with straight-cut boards for a smart, finished appearance. This construction method allows natural timber movement whilst ensuring excellent rainwater runoff. The 12mm solid wooden floor is significantly stronger than standard OSB, supported by pressure-treated bearers that provide additional protection against ground moisture and rot.

With fully modular design featuring interchangeable panels, assembly is straightforward compared to other wooden sheds. The modular construction also provides market-leading flexibility for customising door placements to suit your garden layout.

Treatment & Guarantee

This pressure-treated overlap shed comes with Forest’s extraordinary 4Life 25-year anti-rot guarantee – the longest guarantee available on the market. The pressure treatment ensures the wood is protected against rot-causing moisture, meaning you’ll never need to retreat the timber yourself. This eliminates costly and time-consuming maintenance, providing you with genuine peace of mind and long-term value.

Doors & Windows

Access is via wide double doors that are ledged and braced for extra strength and to prevent dropping or movement. The doors feature hidden security hinges plus a padlock-ready hasp and staple plate, giving you complete peace of mind for storing valuable tools. The windowless design adds an extra security layer by keeping your garden storage contents hidden from view.

Assembly Information

This pressure-treated shed comes with a full set of fixings and clear instructions. The fully modular design means panels arrive in smaller, interchangeable sections, making assembly much easier than traditional wooden sheds. Most homeowners find installation straightforward, though hiring a local handyperson is always an option if preferred.
