Description

The perfect shed for someone who takes their garden’s landscape seriously, the 8 x 5 Redwood Lap Forest Retreat Shed is a high quality work and storage space with an elegant appearance. The soft, natural Moss Green finish of this model is a popular choice that enhances the more traditional elements of the shed’s design, such as the apex roof and overlap cladding. A wildly different impression is produced by the alternative Natural Cream and Pebble Grey finishes.

In many garden sheds, using the space for anything but storing items can feel like making a compromise. Premium Redwood timber walls and the inclusion of four windows – two of which can be opened – make the interior a pleasant spot for taking on DIY projects, gardening tasks, or simply sitting and relaxing with a book. The generous amount of space provided by this larger 8 x 5 model means there is extra room to fit a work bench or shelving unit at the back of the shed without feeling confined by your available space.

Features

What sets this shed apart from most others in its size range are its four windows glazed with toughened 4mm glass, two of which can be opened. These, along with a half-glazed single door, provide plenty of sunlight and make the shed truly live up to its title as a ‘retreat’. When inside, the ample natural light shows off the high quality Redwood timber used throughout the roof, ceiling, and walls. This timber is sustainably sourced, and is pressure treated to ensure an excellent level of protection from weathering and a stress-free experience for the customer.

Another striking feature in the Redwood Lap Forest Retreat Shed’s design is its steep pitch apex roof, which does an excellent job of showing off the Canadian Red Cedar shingles and provides a generous amount of headroom when inside.

Whether you plan to use this shed as a place for work, leisure, storage, or combination of all three, the superior materials and construction methods used for the Redwood Lap Forest Retreat Shed ensures it will be a standout feature in your garden for years to come. 10mm timber features in this shed’s lapped walls, so the wall thickness increases up to 20mm at the overlaps. This gives the exterior of the shed a traditional finish with great visual depth. The roof and floor of this shed feature heavier duty 12mm timber locked closely together in a tongue and groove construction. This provides a sturdy base for heavier items, and superior resistance against weather and rot.

Any worries about the security of this shed are taken into account, as the shed’s solid stainless steel rim lock means it is lockable by a key (included with the shed).

The 6 x 4 Redwood Lap Forest Retreat Shed is delivered to your home for no additional charge. With free installation also included as standard, you won’t need to worry about putting the shed together yourself or finding additional builders to finish the job. A smooth installation process ensures you will be in a great mood to enjoy your shed once it has been assembled,
