Roof Types
This wooden shed features a traditional apex roof design. The roof is reinforced with a metal truss bracket and constructed from 8mm OSB, covered with green mineral-felt for complete weatherproof protection. Smooth-planed barge boards and diamond-shaped finials complete the attractive appearance.
Dimensions
External dimensions: 8′ x 6′ (2.42m x 1.99m). The high roofline provides excellent headroom inside, allowing you to store taller items with ease.
Construction
The walls are constructed from 7mm overlap cladding with straight-cut boards, giving a smarter finish than standard overlap cladding. This design allows natural timber movement over the seasons whilst ensuring excellent rainwater runoff.
The 12mm solid wooden floor is significantly stronger than standard OSB flooring and is supported by pressure-treated bearers, providing an additional layer of protection against rot-causing ground moisture. This durable construction ensures long-lasting performance.
Treatment & Guarantee
This shed is pressure treated with an extraordinary 25-year anti-rot guarantee – the longest guarantee available on the market. The timber will never need retreating, sparing you costly, time-consuming maintenance. With a 4Life shed, you’ll only ever need one shed.
Doors & Windows
Access the shed via wide double doors, which are ledged and braced for extra strength and to prevent dropping or movement. Hidden security hinges and a padlock-ready hasp & staple plate provide complete security for your valuable tools.
Four PET-glazed windows offer an abundance of natural light – ideal if you’re storing equipment or working on DIY projects. Far more secure than conventional glass, these shatterproof windows are made from recycled materials and will neither discolour nor fade over time. The fully modular design allows you to install windows in a variety of positions to suit your requirements.
Assembly Information
The fully modular design delivers your wooden shed in smaller sections of interchangeable panels, making assembly much easier than other wooden sheds. The shed comes with a full set of fixings and clear instructions. Professional installation is available as an optional upgrade if you’d prefer the experts to handle assembly.
