6′ x 4′ Forest Beckwood 25yr Guarantee Shiplap Pressure Treated Reverse Apex Wooden Shed (1.88m x 1.34m)

Overview

The 6 x 4 Forest Beckwood reverse apex shed turns the usual roofline around, so the ridge runs front to back instead of side to side. That change gives a wider, lower roofline over the doorway, which some gardeners prefer where a neighbouring fence or wall limits height on one side. Shiplap cladding and pressure treated timber keep this shed in the same reliable Beckwood family as the rest of the range. A fully windowless version is also available if privacy matters more than natural light, built on the same reverse apex footprint without windows.

Key Features

This shed includes a window, bringing daylight into the interior without the cost of a fully glazed building. The reverse apex roof design is particularly useful where the shed sits close to a boundary, since the lower ridge edge can face outward.

Roof Types

Reverse apex means the roof slopes are arranged so the ridge runs from the front of the shed to the back, rather than left to right. Rainwater still drains efficiently off both slopes, it is simply oriented differently to suit tighter garden layouts.

Dimensions

• Width: 1.88m (6′)
• Depth: 1.34m (4′)
• Reverse apex roofline, front to back ridge
• Single front door with one window

Construction

Pressure treated timber forms the frame and shiplap boards, with the preservative driven into the wood under pressure rather than simply brushed on. This gives a longer lasting defence against the damp conditions a UK garden can bring.

Treatment & Guarantee

Forest covers this Beckwood shed with a 25 year guarantee against rot, a direct result of the pressure treatment process. A yearly check of the felt roof and door fittings is still worthwhile, even though the timber itself needs no re-treating.

Doors & Windows / Security

One window lets daylight into the shed while a single front door, fitted with a hasp and staple for a padlock, controls access. The glazing is positioned away from the door to reduce the chance of anyone reaching through to the lock.

Assembly Information

Supplied as a flat pack with numbered panels and full instructions, this shed is a realistic weekend project for two people with ordinary DIY tools. Treating any cut edges made on site is good practice, even on pressure treated timber.

Delivery Information

The shed is delivered on a pallet to your kerbside, and the panels will need carrying through to the garden. Measure gateways and side passages in advance, since pallet deliveries cannot always reach right up to the build site.

Optional Upgrades

Consider upgrading the roofing felt to a heavy duty specification for extra weather resistance, and add a floor or base kit to lift the shed clear of ground moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose reverse apex over a standard apex roof? It suits gardens where a lower roofline on one side works better against a fence or boundary.

Does it come with a floor? No, you will need a solid, level base before you assemble it.

Is the window fixed or opening? It is a fixed pane for security and simplicity, letting light in without a working catch to maintain.
