Forest Garden 4Life 4ft x 3ft Apex Pressure Treated Overlap Wooden Shed

The Forest Garden 4Life 4' x 3' Apex Wooden Shed (1.34m x 1m) is a compact pressure treated overlap shed with an apex roof. Product code 4LA432WMHDBUN is UK-made from FSC® certified timber and comes with a 25-year anti-rot guarantee the longest on the market. It sits at 2092mm at the ridge and 1834mm at the eaves.

Walls are built from 7mm overlap cladding with straight-cut boards. The framing runs at 28mm x 28mm that is 30% more framing than standard wooden sheds. Pressure treatment forces preservative deep into the timber cells using a vacuum and hydraulic pressure process. The wood never needs retreating again. Ever.

The single door features double-Z bracing and hidden security hinges that cannot be tampered with from outside. A hasp and staple plate is fitted as standard. Two shatterproof PET-glazed windows let in light. The 12mm solid timber floor with pressure-treated bearers is far stronger than the OSB floors found in most budget sheds.

Fully modular panels make assembly straightforward and allow the door to be hung left or right. The shed includes a full set of fixings and clear instructions. White Glove delivery brings it straight into your garden with all packaging removed.

Framing runs at 28mm x 28mm throughout 30% more than standard overlap sheds giving the structure greater rigidity. Walls use 7mm straight-cut overlap cladding fixed to the frame. The apex roof is built from 8mm OSB sheet and covered with green mineral felt for weatherproofing, finished with smooth-planed barge boards and decorative finials. The 12mm solid timber floor sits on pressure-treated bearers that lift it clear of ground moisture. The single door uses double-Z bracing to prevent dropping and hidden hinges to resist forced entry.

FSC® certified UK timber throughout. Walls use 7mm overlap cladding on 28mm x 28mm framing. The floor is 12mm solid pressure-treated timber on UC4-grade bearers. The roof is 8mm OSB covered with green mineral felt. Windows are PET (polyethylene terephthalate) shatterproof and made from recyclable material.

A floor and pressure-treated bearers are included with the shed. You still need a solid level surface underneath concrete or paving slabs are ideal. If you do not have a suitable base, Forest offer an optional wooden base kit made from UC4 pressure-treated timber. You must prepare the ground yourself before delivery.

This shed arrives as fully modular flat-packed panels, which are smaller and easier to handle than full wall sections. Two people are recommended for safe assembly. Clear instructions and a full set of fixings are included. No specific build time is stated by Forest. A professional installation service is available as an optional extra, typically scheduled within 2 to 3 weeks of delivery.

The internal floor measures approximately 1.18m wide by 0.94m deep. That is enough for a compact push lawnmower and a few hand tools or bags of compost. A folded set of garden chairs would fit. A full-size bike or wheelbarrow will not fit alongside anything else. Wall space is limited at this size but there is enough for one or two hooks or a small wall-mounted shelf on the wider wall.
