Roof Type

This shed features a distinctive reverse apex roof design, which enhances the visual appeal whilst providing excellent weather protection. The 8mm solid sheet roof is reinforced with a metal truss bracket and covered in premium mineral felt. Smooth-planed barge boards and attractive finials complete the sophisticated appearance.

Dimensions

This 8×6 wooden shed measures 2.42m wide by 1.99m deep (8 feet by 6 feet). The reverse apex design creates a high roofline, providing generous headroom and maximising usable internal storage space. It’s an ideal size for most garden requirements and fits comfortably into medium to larger gardens.

Construction

Built with superior quality materials, the walls are constructed from 7mm overlap cladding with straight-cut boards for a stylish finish. Unlike standard overlap sheds, the cladding ensures effective rainwater runoff whilst allowing the timber to move naturally through seasonal changes. The fully modular design delivers the shed in smaller, interchangeable panels, making assembly straightforward even for those new to shed building.

The 12mm timber floor is considerably stronger than regular shed flooring and sits on pressure-treated bearers for additional protection from ground moisture. This robust construction, combined with 30% more framing than standard garden sheds, ensures the shed remains structurally sound for decades.

Treatment & Guarantee

This pressure-treated wooden shed is protected by Forest’s 4Life™ 25-year anti-rot guarantee – the longest guarantee available on the market. The pressure treatment ensures the wood is thoroughly protected against rot, and with this guarantee in place, the timber never requires retreating. This means genuine maintenance-free ownership and significant long-term savings.

Doors & Windows

The security-enhanced door features double-Z framing for added strength and can be installed in different positions with left or right-hand opening options. Hidden security hinges and a hasp & staple plate (padlock not included) keep your tools and equipment secure. The fully modular design allows for market-leading flexibility in door placement to suit your garden layout.

Two PET-glazed windows flood the interior with natural light. Made from recyclable materials and completely shatterproof, they will neither fade nor discolour in the sun, maintaining their clarity and appearance throughout the shed’s lifetime.

Assembly Information

The fully modular design significantly simplifies assembly compared to traditional wooden sheds. The shed is delivered in smaller sections of interchangeable panels, making it far easier to construct. Clear instructions and a complete set of fixings are provided, and the modular approach means no specialist tools or experience is required. The design flexibility also allows you to customise door and window positions to meet your specific needs.
