Roof Type

This apex shed features an 8mm solid sheet roof reinforced by a metal truss bracket, fitted with premium mineral-felt covering for complete weatherproof protection. The apex design, smooth-planed barge boards and attractive finials create an exceptionally stylish finish with a high roofline that provides generous headroom.

Dimensions

The shed measures 8 feet by 6 feet (2.42m x 1.99m), providing substantial storage space with a high roofline that maximises usable height for storing larger items.

Construction

The walls are constructed from 7mm overlap cladding with straight-cut boards for a stylish finish. Unlike most overlap sheds, the boards allow effective rainwater runoff and enable the timber to move naturally with seasonal changes.

The 12mm solid timber floor is considerably stronger than regular shed flooring and comes with pressure-treated bearers to provide extra protection from ground moisture. The fully modular design features market-leading choice of door and window placements, allowing the shed to be customised to your precise requirements.

Treatment & Guarantee

This wooden shed is pressure treated to prevent rot and backed by an unbeatable 25-year anti-rot guarantee – the longest guarantee on the market. The wood never needs retreating, saving time and money throughout the years. With a 4Life shed, you’ll only ever need one.

Doors & Windows

The double doors can be installed in different positions and include double-Z framing for added strength to prevent them losing shape. Hidden security hinges and a hasp & staple plate keep valuable tools secure.

The 2 PET-glazed windows are made from recyclable materials, completely shatterproof, and will neither fade nor discolour in the sun, providing plenty of natural light and lasting durability.

The improved fully modular design makes this garden shed far easier to assemble than most wooden sheds. The shed is delivered in smaller sections of interchangeable panels, with clear instructions and a full set of fixings included for straightforward assembly.
