Description

The Forest 7 x 7 4Life Overlap Apex Shed is robust and low-maintenance garden storage. The design features modular panels, so it’s delivered in smaller sections but made with more wood. That makes it easier to assemble and gives you a much stronger shed. 

The shed has 30% thicker framing, with straight-cut 7mm boards that overlap to give flexibility. It works with the natural movement of the timber during the changing seasons and helps with rainwater run-off. The pressure treatment on this shed provides a 25-year anti-rot guarantee, much longer than you will see with any garden shed. You get freedom from shed maintenance; preservative treatment is NEVER needed. With 4Life Sheds, you'll only ever need one timber shed.

The Forest 4Life shed offers more than just a robust and maintenance-free design. It also comes with premium flooring materials, unlike other timber sheds with an OSB floor. The Forest 4Life shed has an extra-thick 14mm solid timber floor, which allows you to store heavier items. The apex roof is made of a hardwearing 8mm solid sheet and is covered with a green sand-felt for weatherproof protection.

The Forest 7 x 7 4Life Overlap Apex Shed has double doors with double Z frames for added strength and stability. Hidden hinges help to prevent potential tampering. The shed also has a padlock-ready hasp and staple latch to keep your valuables safe (padlock not included). The high-quality modular construction lets you adapt the design by moving the door panels. This shed comes with free delivery to most UK addresses. The Forest Garden's White Glove Delivery Service is also available, which will place it wherever you want in your garden and remove all packaging.

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.
