Forest 6x3 Double Door Apex Bike and Mower Storage Shed

The OPALOSHD is a Forest 6x3 double door bike storage shed measuring 1.9m x 0.8m with an apex roof. At 2000 litres capacity it is a serious bit of storage for a compact footprint. This is a wooden shed built in the UK from FSC®-certified timber sourced from sustainable forests.

The cladding is 7mm overlapping rough sawn timber. Pressure treatment means no further treatment is required after installation. The OSB floor sits on pressure-treated bearers to keep it off the ground and dry. The apex roof is OSB board covered with green sand felt.

Double doors measure 760mm wide by 1252mm tall giving easy access for bikes and mowers. The hasp and staple closure works with a padlock (not included). No windows means better privacy and security for stored contents. Two bikes and a lawnmower will fit inside comfortably.

A 15-year anti-rot warranty backs this shed up. It is made in the UK from certified timber with fixings and instructions included. Free delivery to most UK addresses and installation is available. For a compact pressure-treated wooden store this covers a lot of bases.

The frame uses 28x28mm timber sections which is a lightweight framing size suited to a compact store rather than a full garden shed. Cladding is 7mm overlap rough sawn boards fixed horizontally. The apex roof uses 8mm OSB board covered with green sand felt to shed rain. The floor is also 8mm OSB mounted on pressure-treated bearers to keep it raised off the ground. All structural timber is factory pressure treated. Door hinges are concealed and the hasp and staple closure is the primary security point.

All timber is FSC®-certified rough sawn wood pressure treated at the factory. Cladding boards are 7mm overlap. Framing is 28x28mm timber. The floor and roof are both 8mm OSB board. The roof is covered with green sand felt. All timber is finished in a natural timber colour with no additional paint or stain applied.

No base is included with this shed. The OSB floor sits on pressure-treated bearers which raise it off the ground but you still need a firm level surface underneath. A concrete slab or solid paving slabs are the best choice. Grass or bare soil will move over time and can cause the structure to rack or the floor to damp out.

This shed is flat packed for DIY assembly and is described as easy to assemble. Instructions and fixings are both included so you do not need to source any additional hardware. No assembly time is stated by the manufacturer. Professional installation is available if you prefer not to build it yourself. Two people are advisable for lifting and holding panels during assembly.

At 1.86m wide and 0.78m deep the internal floor space is compact but well shaped for bikes and mowers. Two adult bikes stored side by side will fit. A push lawnmower or compact ride-on will roll straight in through the 760mm wide double doors. A wheelbarrow can stand upright inside. Wall space is limited given the narrow 0.78m depth so floor storage is the priority. Garden hand tools can hang on the side walls using hooks. This is not a shed for large garden furniture sets.
