Roof Type

This shed features a classic apex roof design with 8mm solid sheet construction, reinforced by a metal truss bracket. The roof is covered with premium mineral felt for complete weatherproof protection. The smooth-planed barge boards and attractive finials complete the stylish appearance.

Dimensions

At 2.42m (8 feet) wide and 1.99m (6 feet) deep, this is a spacious garden shed suitable for most gardens. The high roofline provides excellent headroom and maximises internal storage space.

Construction

The walls are constructed from 7mm overlap cladding with straight-cut boards for a superior, more stylish finish. Unlike many alternatives, this design ensures effective rainwater runoff and allows the timber to move naturally with the seasons.

The floor is built from 12mm solid timber – considerably stronger than regular shed flooring – and features pressure-treated bearers for extra protection against ground moisture.

The roof uses 8mm solid sheet reinforced with a metal truss bracket, ensuring exceptional strength and durability.

Treatment & Guarantee

All wood is pressure treated to prevent rot and decay. The 4Life guarantee covers the timber for 25 years against rot – no other garden shed on the market offers this level of protection. The wood will never need retreating, saving you time and money over the life of the shed.

Doors & Windows

The double doors feature double-Z framing for added strength and come with hidden security hinges and a hasp and staple plate (padlock not included). The fully modular design allows flexible door placement to suit your requirements.

The 4 PET-glazed windows are made from recyclable materials, completely shatterproof, and will neither fade nor discolour in the sun. They flood the interior with natural light.
