Construction

Built in the UK from FSC certified timber, this pressure treated wooden shed features a fully modular design that’s delivered in smaller, interchangeable sections. The walls are constructed from 7mm overlap cladding with straight-cut boards for a superior appearance. Unlike standard overlap sheds, the straight-cut design ensures effective rainwater runoff and allows the timber to move naturally with seasonal changes.

The 12mm solid timber floor is significantly stronger than regular shed flooring and includes pressure-treated bearers for extra protection against ground moisture. This robust construction, combined with 30% more framing than standard sheds, creates an exceptionally strong and durable structure.

Treatment & Guarantee

This shed is pressure treated with the industry-leading 4Life guarantee, providing 25 years of anti-rot protection – the longest guarantee on the market. The pressure treatment means the wood never requires retreating, eliminating ongoing maintenance costs and saving time year after year. Once installed, this garden shed requires virtually no upkeep.

Doors & Windows

The door features double-Z framing for added strength and to prevent warping. It can be installed in different positions and hung for left or right-hand opening, allowing customisation to suit your garden layout. Security is enhanced with hidden hinges and a hasp and staple plate for securing a padlock (padlock not included).

Two PET-glazed windows flood the shed with natural light. Made from recyclable materials, these windows are completely shatterproof and will neither fade nor discolour in the sun. The fully modular design allows market-leading flexibility in positioning doors and windows to match your exact requirements.

Assembly Information

The fully modular design makes this shed significantly easier to assemble than most traditional wooden sheds. The shed is delivered in smaller sections of interchangeable panels that slot together easily. Clear instructions and a full set of fixings are included with every purchase.

Delivery Information

Forest’s White Glove Delivery Service is included free to most UK addresses. The shed is delivered straight into your garden with all packaging removed, taking the hassle out of collection and delivery. Professional installation is available as an optional extra if you prefer not to assemble the shed yourself.
