Description

The Woodsman Shiplap 8 x 6 Apex Shed by Mercia combines enduring quality, versatile functionality, and timeless design to enhance your outdoor space. Crafted with precision, its sturdy 2” x 1” internal framing ensures lasting strength, making it a reliable choice for storage or a creative workspace for years to come.

With safety and convenience in mind, this shed features four styrene-glazed fixed windows that fill the interior with natural light while offering a safer, shatterproof alternative to glass—ideal for families with kids or pets. Its classic apex roof design not only exudes charm but also boasts 12mm tongue-and-groove panels and weather-resistant mineral felt, ensuring your belongings remain dry and well-protected. Reinforced roof trusses further enhance stability, guarding against sagging over time.

The heavy-duty tongue-and-groove floor is built to handle hefty tools and equipment, making this shed perfect for everything from garden storage to a functional workshop. The flexible modular design allows you to position the doors and windows exactly where you need them, letting you customize the shed to complement your garden’s layout.

Featuring interlocking shiplap cladding, the shed not only looks great but also efficiently directs water away, keeping the interior dry even during heavy rain. Security is prioritized with a strong Z-framed door and a pad bolt, ready to accommodate your padlock for added peace of mind.

Supported by a 10-year anti-rot guarantee, the Woodsman Shiplap 8 x 6 Apex Shed is an investment in durability, style, and practicality. Its compact yet spacious design, weatherproof features, and robust construction make it an indispensable addition to your garden, tailored for your storage or workspace needs.

About Your Order:

The Mercia Woodsman Shed is proudly UK-made using sustainably sourced timber. Its straightforward design and flat-pack delivery make assembly a breeze. With all the necessary fixtures and fittings included, along with clear, easy-to-follow instructions, setting up your shed couldn’t be simpler.

Please note: Images may depict furnishings and accessories; these are for illustration purposes only and are not included with your order. 

Garden Shed Maintenance:

The shed comes with a factory-applied base coat but is otherwise untreated, so it requires treatment immediately after assembly and annual re-treatment to protect against rot. Please note, the base coat may vary in shade across parts of the shed. Mercia offers a 10-year anti-rot guarantee, provided the shed is treated annually with a wood preservative and a waterproof topcoat.

To keep your shed protected and looking great, the manufacturer recommends using Protek Royal Exterior wood paint, which is available in a variety of colours. Explore the full range of Protek Royal colours.

Delivery

ALL DELIVERIES ARE DELIVERED TO KERBSIDE OR DRIVEWAY. All of our Mercia products are delivered flat packed other than fence panels (which are delivered fully constructed), direct to your home, and are supplied with a set of instructions to support assembly.

Booking Delivery

You will be required to book your delivery date at the time of placing your order (except for Metal Shed). Our 'Request a Delivery Date' service is available to the majority of areas and you'll find that the majority of the UK postcodes are FREE but some areas may incur a delivery surcharge and some postcodes are not covered at all. Select a 'requested delivery date' by entering your postcode in the 'Request a delivery date' section above. You will also be notified at this time if your area incurs a surcharge or delivery is not covered in your area.

Prior to Delivery

On the morning of your delivery date, you'll be sent an update by text with an estimated 2-hour delivery slot (this update can only be provided where a mobile number has been supplied on the billing address section at the time of checkout) together with a link to the manufacturer delivery portal where you'll be able to track your order.

Please note: Mercia Metal Sheds ONLY - your order is delivered by a courier you will not be notified prior to the delivery. If you are not in on the day of the delivery you will be carded and asked to contact the courier to arrange a new mutual delivery date. The estimated delivery lead time for Mercia's Metal sheds is identified on the product for the metal shed. Lead times are on working days (Monday - Friday) excludes Bank Holidays. These estimated lead times are provided by the manufacturer. Some remote areas will take a little longer.

Upon Delivery

Your order is delivered either kerbside or driveway and will be delivered on either a 3.5T, 7.5T or 18T Lorry. Unfortunately due to health and safety and insurance liabilities the driver will not be able to take your goods around to the back of your property but may upon request place the product at the side of the house if there are no access or restriction issues. We would not risk damaging your property whilst delivering a product to an unsafe location. Unfortunately, we will not be able to go through your property.

We would recommend against arranging for a third party to install the building before it's been delivered and checked that all parts are present, as we cannot be held liable for any third-party costs.

Pre-Painted Service - Shed Only

If you choose the Painting Service, the estimated delivery lead time will be approximately 28 working days (Monday to Friday, excluding weekends and Bank Holidays). Please note that if you select the Pick a Day option, the chosen delivery date will not apply. Instead, the delivery team will contact you to arrange a new delivery date for your painted shed.

Pre-Painted Service - Shed and Assembly

If you select the Painting Service and Assembly option, please review the section titled 'Orders with Assembly' below for details on the process and associated timelines.

Orders with Assembly 

The lead time for our installation option is around 7 weeks from the date of order. With the installation option, the majority of orders will have their delivery and installation on separate days; there will be a small number of orders which will have delivery and installation on the same day. You will be advised by the manufacturer's installation team which category your order falls into.

Depending on the installation option for your order, you will be contacted within the delivery timescale and given a date for either delivery/assembly on the same date or a separate date for delivery and assembly.
