Roof Type

The apex roof features an 8mm solid sheet construction reinforced with a metal truss bracket and covered with premium mineral felt for complete weatherproofing.

The high roofline provides generous headroom and increases your garden storage options.

Dimensions

This wooden shed measures 8 feet by 6 feet (2.42m x 1.99m), making it an ideal size for most gardens requiring secure outdoor storage without taking up excessive space.

Construction

The walls are built from 7mm overlap cladding with straight-cut boards for a stylish finish and effective rainwater runoff. The timber moves naturally with the seasons whilst the overlap design ensures weather protection.

The floor is constructed from 12mm solid timber – much stronger than regular shed flooring – with pressure-treated bearers providing extra protection from ground moisture and rot.

With 30% more framing than standard wooden garden sheds, this shed offers exceptional strength and durability alongside its modular design.

Treatment & Guarantee

All timber is pressure treated to prevent rot and backed by Forest’s industry-leading 4Life guarantee – a full 25 years of anti-rot protection. The wood will never need retreating, saving you time and money over the shed’s lifetime. This is the longest guarantee available on the market.

Doors & Windows

The door can be installed in different positions to suit your garden layout, and is hung for either left or right-hand opening. It features double-Z framing for added strength to prevent the door losing shape. Security is enhanced with hidden hinges and a hasp & staple plate (padlock not included).

The windowless design adds an extra layer of security by deterring unwanted attention to your stored items.

Assembly Information

The fully modular design means this garden shed arrives in smaller sections of interchangeable panels, making assembly far easier than most wooden sheds. Clear instructions and a full set of fixings are included. The modular construction also allows you to choose from a market-leading selection of door placements to customise the shed to your precise requirements.

Delivery Information

Forest’s White Glove Delivery Service provides free delivery to most UK addresses, with the shed delivered straight into your garden. All packaging is removed as part of the service, leaving your new shed ready for assembly.
