6’6 x 2’8 Forest Apex Overlap Logstore (2m x 0.8m)

Overview

A 2m by 0.8m Forest logstore built to keep a season’s worth of firewood dry and organised at the side of the garden. The overlap-clad timber construction and apex roof give it the look of a scaled-down shed, while the open front makes loading and unloading logs straightforward without doors to work around. It is a practical, low-cost way to free up space in the main shed or garage.

Key Features

• Overlap timber board cladding
• Apex roof shape
• Open front for easy loading and access
• Pressure-treated timber construction
• Compact footprint suited to a side passage or garden corner

Roof Types

This logstore has an apex roof, with two sloped timber panels meeting at a central ridge. The shape sheds rainwater to both sides and overhangs slightly at the front, helping keep stacked logs underneath drier than they would be under a flat-topped store.

Dimensions

• Width: 6ft 6in / 2m
• Depth: 2ft 8in / 0.8m
• Roof: Apex

Construction

Built using Forest’s overlap board cladding technique, where horizontal timber boards are layered to shed water down the outside of the structure, fixed to a timber frame.

Treatment & Guarantee

The timber is pressure-treated before assembly, helping it resist rot and decay when stacked logs and outdoor conditions are involved. This gives the logstore a solid working life in a typical UK garden.

Doors & Windows / Security

This logstore has an open front rather than doors, by design, so logs can be loaded and removed quickly. It is a storage unit for firewood rather than a lockable security store, and is not intended for valuables.

Assembly Information

Supplied as a flat-pack kit for straightforward DIY assembly with basic tools. Full instructions are included, and the compact size means one person can usually manage the build without extra help.

Delivery Information

Delivered flat-packed on a standard UK mainland delivery service. The panels are light enough for one person to move, though help is useful for larger items in the same order.

Optional Upgrades

A larger Forest logstore is available if you need more capacity, and a pent-roofed version is also offered if you prefer a lower profile against a fence or wall.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this logstore have a floor? It is designed as an open-fronted store with a raised timber base to help keep logs off the ground.

Can it be used against a wall? Yes, the apex roof and compact depth make it suitable for fitting against a fence, wall or side passage.

Does it need treating again later? The timber is pressure-treated before despatch, though an occasional coat of timber treatment will help extend its life further.
