6′ x 4′ Traditional Shiplap Pent Security Wooden Garden Shed (1.83m x 1.22m)

Overview

This 6′ x 4′ shed pairs a compact footprint with the reassurance of our security range. Built with shiplap cladding and a pent roof, it suits gardens where space is tight but tools, bikes or equipment still need a dry, secure home. The low roofline keeps it unobtrusive against fences or walls, while the security styling is aimed squarely at protecting your belongings.

Key Features

• Shiplap timber cladding for a weatherproof, traditional finish
• Pent roof that sheds rainwater efficiently to one side
• Reinforced door and framing suited to higher value items
• Compact 6′ x 4′ footprint ideal for smaller gardens
• For more room, the 10′ x 6′ Traditional Shiplap Apex Wooden Security Garden Shed offers considerably more floor space with the same security focused build

Roof Types

The pent roof is a single sloped design, falling from back to front so that rainwater runs off quickly rather than pooling. This also keeps the overall height lower than an apex equivalent, useful where boundary height restrictions apply or the shed sits beneath a window. The slope is covered with standard roofing felt for a waterproof finish.

Dimensions

• Width: 6′ (1.83m)
• Depth: 4′ (1.22m)

These are external dimensions, so allow a little extra clearance for the roof overhang and for ease of access during assembly.

Construction

The shed is built using shiplap cladding, where each board interlocks with the one below to create a tight, overlapping surface that resists wind driven rain. The floor and roof use solid timber boards, with a frame built to give the panels rigidity once assembled. As with all our traditional range buildings, the timber is chosen for strength and finished to withstand everyday garden use.

Treatment & Guarantee

This shed comes from our traditional range, so rather than carrying a long dated guarantee, it is built from quality timber that performs well once treated. Apply a good quality preservative to all external surfaces before use, then re treat annually to keep the wood protected and extend its working life.

Security

As part of the security range, this shed is designed with extra protection in mind. The door and surrounding frame are built to be more resistant to forced entry than a standard shed, a sensible choice for bikes, tools or machinery of real value. We would still recommend a good quality padlock and, where possible, securing larger items with additional chains or ground anchors.

Assembly Information

The shed is supplied as a flat pack kit with all panels, timber and fixings included, plus an instruction guide. Assembly is a two person job, typically taking the best part of a day. A level, firm base, such as paving slabs, should be prepared in advance so the shed sits square and stable.

Delivery Information

Delivery is made kerbside using a dedicated service given the size and weight of the components. Someone will need to be available to accept it, and access to your garden should be checked in advance, as drivers cannot carry items beyond the delivery point.

Optional Upgrades

For a larger security shed, the 8′ x 8′ Traditional Shiplap Apex Security Wooden Garden Shed gives a substantial increase in floor area while keeping the same reinforced doors and framing. Many customers also add shelving or a workbench once the shed is in place, to make the most of the space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this shed come with a base? No, a base should be prepared separately before delivery.

Is the timber treated before it arrives? No, apply a suitable preservative once the shed is built.

Can the door be locked? The frame is built for a padlock, though one is not included.
