Dimensions

External dimensions: 7′ x 5′ (2.18m x 1.64m)

The high roofline provides generous headroom and maximises internal storage capacity.

Construction

The 7mm overlap cladding walls feature straight-cut boards for a stylish finish and ensure effective rainwater runoff. The timber moves naturally with the changing seasons, maintaining structural integrity.

The floor is constructed from 12mm solid timber – significantly stronger than regular shed flooring – and comes with pressure-treated bearers to provide extra protection from ground moisture.

Built from UK-sourced FSC® certified timber, this shed benefits from a fully modular design with improved interchangeable panels. This makes assembly considerably easier than most wooden sheds whilst maintaining exceptional structural strength.

Treatment & Guarantee

All wood is pressure-treated to prevent rot and backed by Forest’s unbeatable 25-year anti-rot guarantee – the longest guarantee on the market. The pressure treatment means you’ll only ever need one shed; the wood will never need retreating, saving both time and money.

Doors & Windows

The security-enhanced door features double-Z framing for added strength to prevent warping. Hidden security hinges and a hasp & staple plate (padlock not included) keep valuable tools secure. The door can be installed in different positions and hung for either left or right-hand opening, thanks to the modular design.

Two shatterproof PET-glazed windows are made from recyclable materials and will neither fade nor discolour in the sun, allowing plenty of natural light into the shed.

The improved fully modular design delivers the shed in smaller sections of interchangeable panels, making assembly far easier than most garden sheds. Clear instructions and a full set of fixings are included. Professional installation is available as an optional extra.
