Construction

This garden shed features top-quality modular construction using 12mm tongue and groove boards throughout. The solid timber construction is supported by exceptionally robust 28mm x 56mm internal framing, using approximately 30% more timber than standard sheds. This results in a far stronger building that stands up to regular use and the British climate.

The complete modular design means the shed arrives in smaller, interchangeable panels for easier assembly. This flexibility also allows you to decide where to position the double doors to perfectly suit your garden layout and requirements.

Treatment & Guarantee

The timber is pressure treated to provide complete protection against rot and decay without requiring any further maintenance. Forest backs this with a market-leading 25-year anti-rot guarantee, eliminating the need for regular treatment or retreatment over this period. The wood is FSC-certified, confirming it’s been ethically sourced from sustainable, well-managed forests.

Both the floor and roof are manufactured from premium 12mm tongue and groove. The pressure-treated bearers provide extra support to the floor and act as an effective barrier against ground moisture, ensuring longevity and durability.

Doors & Windows

The windowless design provides an additional layer of security, ideal for storing valuable tools and equipment. The double doors are ledged and braced (Z-frame construction) for maximum strength and durability. Security features include exterior turn buttons, interior bolts, and a high-quality rim lock door latch to keep contents secure.

The modular design makes assembly straightforward, with clear instructions provided. Comprehensive assembly guidelines help ensure a smooth building process. For those preferring professional installation, Forest offers an optional chargeable installation service to take the effort out of setup.
