Roof Type

This shed features an apex roof design with smooth-planed barge boards and attractive finials. The 8mm solid sheet roof is reinforced with a metal truss bracket and covered with premium mineral felt for complete weatherproof protection. The high roofline provides generous headroom and increases storage capacity.

Dimensions

The shed measures 7 feet by 5 feet (2.28m x 1.53m), making it a compact yet functional size suitable for most garden spaces. The apex roof design maximises internal height for storage flexibility.

Construction

Walls are constructed from 7mm overlap cladding with straight-cut boards for a stylish finish and effective rainwater runoff. The timber naturally accommodates seasonal movement without compromising weatherproofing. The floor is built from 12mm timber with pressure-treated bearers to provide extra protection from ground moisture – significantly stronger than regular shed flooring found in comparable wooden sheds.

The fully modular design uses interchangeable panels, making this pressure-treated shed far easier to assemble than traditional wooden garden buildings. This construction method also allows customisation of door placement to suit your specific garden layout.

Treatment & Guarantee

This overlap shed is pressure treated to prevent rot and backed by Forest’s 4Life guarantee – an unbeatable 25-year anti-rot warranty. The wood will never need retreating, saving both time and money throughout the shed’s lifespan. This guarantee is the longest available on the market.

Doors & Windows

The double doors can be installed in different positions, offering market-leading flexibility in shed customisation. They feature double-Z framing for added strength and include hidden security hinges with a hasp and staple plate for keeping valuable tools secure (padlock not included). The windowless design provides enhanced security while maximising usable internal storage space.

Assembly Information

The fully modular design significantly simplifies assembly compared to standard wooden sheds. Smaller sections of interchangeable panels are delivered, and clear instructions with a full set of fixings are included. Professional installation is available as an optional upgrade if preferred.

Delivery Information

Forest’s White Glove Delivery Service provides free delivery to most UK addresses, with the shed brought straight into your garden and all packaging removed. This takes the hassle out of receiving your new garden storage solution.
