Construction
The walls are built from 12mm shiplap tongue and groove cladding mounted on a sturdy 28 x 56mm frame. The interlocking shiplap boards create a tight, weathertight seal whilst the scalloped profile encourages excellent rainwater runoff. The premium 12mm tongue and groove floor is pressure-treated and supported by pressure-treated bearers, providing robust protection against rot-causing ground moisture. This construction delivers both strength and longevity.
Treatment & Guarantee
All timber is pressure-treated to resist rot, backed by Forest’s exceptional 25-year anti-rot guarantee, the longest guarantee on the market. This means the wood never requires retreating, sparing you costly maintenance and providing genuine peace of mind. The shed is handcrafted from FSC® certified British wood sourced from sustainable, well-managed forests.
Doors & Windows
Wide double doors provide easy access and are ledged and braced for extra strength to prevent movement. They’re fitted with hidden security hinges and a pad bolt (padlock not included) to keep your belongings secure. The modular design allows you to install doors in different positions to suit your garden layout. Two 3mm shatterproof acrylic windows flood the interior with natural light, ideal for working on DIY projects or locating stored items. These windows won’t discolour or fade and can also be positioned to your preference.
Assembly Information
The complete modular design means this shed arrives in smaller, interchangeable panel sections, making assembly significantly easier than traditional wooden sheds. You’ll receive a full set of fixings and clear instructions. The flexible configuration allows you to customise door and window placements to match your exact requirements. Professional installation is available as an optional upgrade if you prefer not to assemble it yourself.
