10’x8′ Forest Overlap Pressure Treated Double Door Apex Wooden Shed (3.01m x 2.61m)

Overview

Every family garden needs somewhere for bikes, the paddling pool, and all the bits that do not fit indoors. This 10′ x 8′ Forest shed is built from the same pressure treated timber family as Forest’s well known 4Life range, giving a spacious, weatherproof store that suits a growing household without taking over the garden.

Key Features

• Generous 10′ x 8′ family size footprint
• Pressure treated timber from the Forest 4Life family
• Overlap cladding for a hard wearing finish
• Wide double doors for easy bike and buggy access
• Sturdy apex roof for all weather use

Roof Types

The apex roof, with two sloped sides meeting at a central ridge, sheds rain and snow efficiently and leaves no flat areas where water can collect. It also means taller family members can stand comfortably near the centre of the shed.

Dimensions

• Width: 10′ (3.01m)
• Depth: 8′ (2.61m)

Construction

Overlap cladding is used across the walls, with horizontal boards layered to direct rainwater away from the frame. This is a tried and tested style for family garden sheds, balancing durability and value, while the internal timber frame keeps the structure rigid under daily use.

Treatment & Guarantee

The timber comes from the Forest 4Life pressure treated family, with preservative forced deep into the wood rather than brushed on the surface. This gives strong built in resistance to rot, a low maintenance choice well suited to busy households.

Doors & Windows

Double doors open wide at the front, making it simple to wheel bikes and garden toys in and out without squeezing through a narrow gap. The doors are built into the timber frame for a secure, stable fit even with frequent daily use.

Assembly Information

The shed is delivered as a flat pack kit with pre cut panels, ready to build on a level, firm base. Many families treat the build as a weekend project, and the included instructions make it easy to follow step by step.

Delivery Information

Delivery is kerbside, with the shed arriving in several heavy sections, so it helps to have another adult around to help carry the panels into the garden. You will be given a delivery slot after ordering, so prepare your base in advance.

Optional Upgrades

Families planning to store bikes and toys may want extra shelving or a floor kit to keep smaller items organised and off the ground. Heavy duty felt is worth considering in a windy, exposed garden.
