8′ x 6′ Forest Timberdale 25yr Guarantee Tongue & Groove Pressure Treated Double Door Apex Shed (2.46m x 2.03m)
Overview
The 8′ x 6′ Forest Timberdale Apex Shed is a dependable choice for gardeners who need generous storage without compromising on looks. Built from tongue and groove timber and backed by Forest’s 25 year guarantee, it suits everything from lawnmowers and bikes to tools and seasonal furniture. The wide double doors make loading bulky items simple, and the traditional apex roofline gives the shed a neat, classic silhouette that fits comfortably into most UK gardens.
Key Features
This shed is finished with tongue and groove cladding throughout, giving smooth, interlocking walls that resist warping and keep the weather out far better than basic overlap boards. The double doors open wide, so wheeling in a mower or bicycle is straightforward rather than an awkward squeeze. Pressure treated timber protects the structure against rot from the moment it is built. If your storage needs are likely to grow, the 10′ x 6′ windowless double door apex shed offers extra length on a similar footprint.
Roof Types
This shed uses a traditional apex roof, where two sloped panels meet at a central ridge running from side to side. The design sheds rainwater efficiently and creates useful extra headroom towards the centre of the shed compared with a single slope roof. It is a classic, dependable roof shape that suits both exposed and sheltered gardens.
Dimensions
Key external dimensions for this shed are as follows.
- Width: 2.46m (8′)
- Depth: 2.03m (6′)
Construction
The walls are built using tongue and groove boards that interlock for a solid, weather resistant finish, a step up from simple overlap cladding. The frame supports the apex roof and double door opening without losing rigidity, built to cope with everyday UK weather for years of use.
Treatment & Guarantee
All timber in this shed is pressure treated during manufacture, protecting it against rot and fungal decay. Forest backs the shed with a 25 year guarantee against rot, reflecting their confidence in the treatment process, though an occasional coat of timber treatment still helps keep it looking its best.
Doors & Windows
Access is through a pair of double doors, wide enough to take mowers, wheelbarrows and bicycles through without having to tilt them sideways. Windows are fitted to let natural light into the interior, which makes it easier to see what you are doing and find tools without needing to prop the doors open.
Assembly Information
The shed arrives as a flat pack kit for self assembly, with pressure treated timber components, fixings and instructions included. Two people are recommended for the build, and a flat, level base should be prepared beforehand. Most installations are completed over a weekend using basic tools.
Delivery Information
Delivery is arranged to a kerbside or accessible point near your property, depending on courier access at your address. Please make sure there is clear, level access suitable for a large pallet delivery, and flag any narrow driveways, steps or restrictions in advance.
Optional Upgrades
If you would like a bit more length without changing the width, the 10′ x 6′ windowless double door apex shed is worth a look. For gardens with room to spare, the larger reverse apex option below offers more floor space for growing storage needs.
