Roof Types
This 5 x 3 shed features a traditional apex roof design with smooth-planed barge boards and diamond-shaped finials. The roof is constructed from 8mm OSB and covered with green mineral-felt for complete weatherproof protection. The apex style provides excellent water runoff and gives the shed an attractive appearance.
Dimensions
The shed measures 5 feet by 3 feet (1.64m x 1m). This compact size makes it ideal for general-purpose storage in smaller gardens whilst still providing adequate headroom for storing taller items thanks to the apex roof design.
Construction
The overlap shed is built with 7mm smart overlap cladding featuring straight-cut boards for a superior finish. The walls allow natural timber movement with the seasons and ensure excellent rainwater runoff.
The floor is constructed from 12mm solid wooden boards – considerably stronger than standard OSB flooring – and is supported by pressure-treated bearers for additional protection against rot-causing ground moisture. This robust construction makes it one of the strongest sheds in its size category.
Treatment & Guarantee
This pressure-treated wooden shed comes with Forest’s exceptional 25-year anti-rot guarantee, the longest guarantee available on the market. The pressure treatment means the wood will never need retreating, eliminating costly maintenance and keeping your shed looking good for decades.
Doors & Windows
Access is via a single ledged and braced door that can be positioned and hung for left or right-hand opening, giving you complete flexibility. The door features hidden security hinges and a padlock-ready hasp & staple plate (padlock not included).
Two PET-glazed windows flood the interior with natural light. These shatterproof windows are more secure than conventional glass, made from recycled materials, and won’t discolour or fade. Window positions can be customised to suit your needs, and the fully modular design allows you to change placements if required.
Assembly Information
The fully modular design means this shed arrives in smaller sections of interchangeable panels, making assembly significantly easier than traditional garden sheds. A full set of fixings and clear instructions are included. For those preferring professional installation, a competitively-priced installation service is available as an optional upgrade.
Delivery Information
Free delivery is available to most UK postcodes via Forest’s White Glove Delivery Service. The shed is delivered directly to your garden with all packaging removed, taking the hassle out of collection and disposal.
Optional Upgrades
A pressure-treated wooden shed base is available as an optional extra. Made from UC4 incised pressure-treated timber, this base provides a faster and more cost-effective alternative to laying slabs or concrete. The base measures 7.5cm (h) x 147.5cm (w) x 94.1cm (d) and comes with a 15-year rot guarantee.
Professional installation services are also available if you’d prefer to have the shed assembled by experts.
