4’ x 3’ Forest 4Life 25yr Guarantee Overlap Pressure Treated Apex Wooden Shed (1.34m x 1m)
Overview
If space is tight but you still want a proper timber shed rather than a plastic storage box, this 4′ x 3′ Forest 4Life apex shed is worth a look. It is priced at £329.99, reduced to £259.99, making it one of the most affordable ways into the 4Life range.
Built from pressure treated timber with a 25 year guarantee against rot, this 4′ x 3′ shed is a practical option for anyone who needs extra storage without paying over the odds. The overlap cladding and pressure treated timber are identical to the larger sheds in the range, so build quality is not scaled down along with the size.

- apex roof with a single door for easy access
- Overlap wall cladding for a traditional shed finish

Roof Types
This shed is fitted with a apex roof. The apex shape rises to a central ridge, giving extra headroom in the middle and helping rain run off both sides. It is covered with a mineral felt that sheds water away from the timber.

- Door height suits most garden tools and equipment
- Floor and roof panels are factory fitted before delivery

Construction
Each wall is formed from overlapping horizontal boards, letting rainwater run straight off rather than pooling. The timber goes through a pressure treatment process at the mill, pushing preservative into the grain to protect it from the inside out.
Treatment & Guarantee
This process is why Forest Garden can back the frame with a 25 year guarantee against rot, and it means no preservative needs brushing on when the shed first arrives. Beyond the odd check of the felt roof, there is little ongoing maintenance to think about.
Doors & Windows / Security
Access is through a single door, fitted with a hasp and staple so you can secure the shed with your own padlock. It includes a fixed window, which lets in natural light while you work inside.
Assembly Information
Everything needed is included in the flat pack delivery, from pre-drilled timber sections to fixings and a step-by-step guide. Two people over a weekend is the usual approach, since the floor and roof panels are already built and simply fit onto the walls.
Delivery Information
The shed is delivered flat packed on a pallet and left kerbside, so plan for a second pair of hands to carry the panels into the garden. A standard delivery slot will be arranged and confirmed ahead of time. Check everything over before signing the delivery off.
Optional Upgrades
The basic hasp and staple can be swapped for a heavier duty lock or hidden hinges. A guttering kit keeps rainwater away from the base, and internal shelving makes the most of the floor space.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I need to treat the wood when it arrives? No, the 25 year guarantee against rot comes from pressure treatment carried out at the factory.
What base do I need? A flat, level base such as paving slabs, concrete or timber bearers.
Is the shed meant to be moved later? No, it is built as a permanent structure, so settle on the final spot before assembling it.
