8′ x 6′ Forest Beckwood 25yr Guarantee Shiplap Pressure Treated Reverse Apex Wooden Shed (2.42m x 1.99m)

Overview

This 8′ x 6′ Forest Beckwood Shiplap Reverse Apex Wooden Shed is built for anyone who wants their shed entrance facing the wide side rather than the gable end, giving a broader opening and a different look on the plot. The smooth shiplap cladding gives a tidy finish, and the reverse apex roof brings a distinctive profile to a popular shed size.

Key Features

• Forest Beckwood range with a 25 year guarantee against rot
• Shiplap pressure-treated timber cladding
• Reverse apex roof with the ridge running front to back
• Window fitted for natural daylight
• Solid timber floor and roof

Roof Types

This is a reverse apex shed, meaning the roof ridge runs from front to back rather than side to side, so the roof slopes down to the left and right instead of to the front and rear. This orientation lets the door sit on the longer wall, giving a wider entrance than a standard apex shed of the same footprint. The roof is finished with felt for weatherproofing.

Dimensions

• Width: 8′ (2.42m)
• Depth: 6′ (1.99m)
• Roof style: Reverse apex
• Cladding: Shiplap

Construction

Shiplap boards overlap horizontally across the frame to create a weatherproof skin that resists driving rain well. The timber frame is solidly built, with a solid floor to support stored items and a solid roof deck beneath the felt covering for added rigidity.

Treatment & Guarantee

As part of the Forest Beckwood range, the timber is pressure treated and backed by a 25 year guarantee against rot, giving long-term confidence in the structure with only occasional maintenance required over its lifetime.

Doors & Windows

A single door is set into the longer wall thanks to the reverse apex layout, giving a wide entrance point for moving equipment in and out. A window is fitted for natural light, making it easier to see inside without leaving the door open.

Assembly Information

Supplied flat-packed with full assembly instructions. A firm, level base is essential before building, and a base fixing kit is recommended once construction is complete. Two people can typically assemble this shed over a weekend.

Delivery Information

Delivery for a shed of this size is usually on a two-man kerbside basis, with panels left at the nearest safe access point to the property. Arrange help in advance to move the parts to the build site.

Optional Upgrades

Optional extras at checkout include upgraded roofing felt, floor bearers to lift the shed clear of damp ground, and shelving kits to make better use of the interior space.
