Description

The Forest 4Life Overlap Pressure Treated 6x4 Reverse Apex Shed is a highly functional and secure storage solution for your gardening needs. The improved design, featuring modular panels, allows for easy assembly, increased versatility, and enhanced structural strength. The Forest 4Life range of sheds is considered the premier choice for durable and maintenance-free storage options.

Its sturdy design, featuring 30% thicker framing than traditional wooden sheds, ensures that the shed can withstand the elements and maintain its structural integrity for years to come. Using straight-cut 7mm boards that overlap allows for the natural movement of the timber during changing seasons and promotes efficient rainwater run-off. The pressure treatment applied to the shed offers a 25-year anti-rot guarantee, eliminating the need for maintenance or preservative treatment.

This shed also boasts an extra-thick 14mm solid timber floor, in contrast to the more common OSB floor, providing added strength and durability for storing heavier items. The roof of this reverse apex shed is made of hardwearing 8mm solid sheet material and is covered with green sand-felt for added weatherproofing. The reverse apex roof style is perfect for situating against a wall and allows the interior space to be used to its greatest storage potential.

The Forest 4Life 6x4 Reverse Apex Shed features a double-Z frame door construction to enhance strength and prevent door movement. Security is further enhanced by including hidden hinges and a padlock-ready simple and secure hasp and staple latch (padlock not included) to ensure the safekeeping of valuable items. The door can be configured for left or right-hand opening, providing added convenience.

Featuring a traditional reverse apex roof, smooth-planed barge boards, and a diamond-shaped finial, this wooden shed will complement any garden. The Forest Garden's White Glove Delivery Service ensures that this shed is delivered free of charge to most UK addresses and is placed in the location of your choice within your garden, with all packaging removed for your convenience.

Optional Shed Base

The shed base is a quick and easy solution to prepare a solid base for your new garden shed. All sheds require a solid base, which is commonly made from concrete or slabs, but it increases the cost and work. The base includes the materials for you to build a wooden base. Simply screw the timbers together, and you have a wooden base that is a quick alternative to concrete. It raises the shed from the ground, which helps isolate it from damp and splashing rain.

The shed base timbers have a pressure treatment preservative that penetrates deep into the wood's fibres, making it suitable for placing on the ground. It's quick and easy to build; simply screw the timber sections together with the provided fixings. Note: You must lay the base on level ground; use suitable materials to prop up the base to level it if required. Applying a shed on soil or grass is not usually recommended, but you can do so with this base as long as there is a heavy-duty weed membrane placed underneath. You can order this option from the 'Choose Additional Options' section above.
