Roof Type

The apex roof design combines both aesthetic appeal and practical functionality.

Smooth-planed barge boards and attractive finials complete the professional appearance. The high roofline maximises internal headroom and increases storage versatility.

Dimensions

This 7 x 5 shed measures 2.18m wide x 1.64m deep, making it ideal for compact to medium-sized gardens whilst still providing substantial storage capacity. The apex design and generous height provide excellent internal usability for storing tools, equipment and seasonal items.

Construction

Forest’s fully modular design revolutionises assembly. The shed arrives in smaller, interchangeable panel sections that are significantly easier to install than traditional wooden sheds. The 30% increased framing compared to standard garden sheds ensures exceptional structural integrity and longevity.

The 7mm overlap cladding boards are straight-cut for a superior finish and engineered to allow natural timber movement through seasonal changes whilst maintaining effective rainwater runoff. The 12mm solid timber floor sits on pressure-treated bearers, providing robust protection against ground moisture and rot.

Treatment & Guarantee

This pressure-treated shed comes with Forest’s unbeatable 4Life™ 25-year anti-rot guarantee—the longest guarantee available on the UK market. The pressure treatment eliminates the need for ongoing maintenance or retreating, saving time and money over the shed’s lifespan. You’ll truly only need one shed with the 4Life™ guarantee backing it.

Doors & Windows

The fully modular design allows market-leading flexibility in door placement, enabling customisation to match your precise garden layout requirements. The door features double-Z framing for added strength and shape retention, with hidden security hinges and a hasp & staple plate (padlock not included). Choose left or right-hand opening to suit your space. The windowless design provides enhanced security and deters unwanted attention whilst maximising usable storage wall space.

Assembly Information

The fully modular construction makes this pressure-treated overlap shed considerably easier to assemble than conventional wooden sheds. Complete assembly instructions and a full set of fixings are included. The interchangeable panel system significantly reduces installation complexity, though Forest also offers professional installation as an optional extra for complete peace of mind.
