Forest 4Life 5ft x 3ft Windowless Apex Pressure Treated Overlap Wooden Storage Shed

The Forest 4Life 5' x 3' Windowless Apex Wooden Storage Shed (1.64m x 1m) SKU 4LA53NWMHDBUN is a compact pressure treated overlap shed built for secure outdoor storage in smaller gardens. The apex roof keeps rainwater running off cleanly and the high roofline gives generous headroom for a shed this size.

Walls are built from 7mm straight-cut overlap cladding tidier than most overlap sheds. The timber is pressure treated with a 25-year anti-rot guarantee the longest on the market and the wood never needs retreating. Framing is 28mm x 28mm with 30% more framing than standard sheds. The 8mm OSB roof is covered in green mineral felt. The 12mm solid timber floor is far stronger than regular shed flooring and sits on pressure treated bearers to protect against ground moisture.

The single door has double-Z framing to prevent dropping and hidden security hinges that cannot be tampered with from outside. A hasp and staple plate is fitted ready for a padlock. The windowless design deters unwanted attention. The door can be hung left or right and positioned to suit your garden layout.

FSC certified UK timber, modular panel construction and a 25-year guarantee make this stand out from cheaper dip treated sheds that need annual retreatment. Floor and bearers are included as standard.

The frame uses 28mm x 28mm timber sections with 30% more framing than standard sheds for added rigidity. Walls are clad in 7mm straight-cut overlap boards which allow natural timber movement across seasons and shed rainwater effectively. The 8mm OSB roof sheet is covered in green mineral felt for weatherproofing and finished with smooth planed barge boards and decorative finials. The 12mm solid timber floor sits on pressure treated bearers to lift it clear of ground moisture. The single door uses double-Z bracing to prevent dropping and hidden hinges resist external tampering.

FSC certified UK-grown timber throughout. Cladding is 7mm overlap boards with straight-cut edges. Framing is 28mm x 28mm softwood. The roof is 8mm OSB covered in green mineral felt. The floor is 12mm solid pressure treated timber on pressure treated bearers. All structural timber is factory pressure treated.

A solid level base such as concrete or paving is required before placing this shed. The 12mm solid timber floor and pressure treated bearers are included as standard so no separate floor purchase is needed. If you do not have a suitable base Forest Garden offers a UC4 pressure treated wooden base kit as an optional extra. You must prepare the ground yourself before delivery.

This shed arrives as fully modular interchangeable panels in smaller sections making it easier to handle than most wooden sheds. Two people are recommended for assembly. Clear instructions and a full set of fixings are included. Professional installation is available as an optional paid extra and is typically arranged within 2 to 3 weeks of delivery if selected at checkout.

The internal base measures approximately 1.47m wide by 0.94m deep. This suits compact garden storage a rotary lawnmower, strimmer, hand tools, bags of compost and small power tools will fit comfortably. A full-sized bike would be very tight. A standard wheelbarrow is unlikely to fit. Wall space is limited given the narrow 0.94m depth but a small shelf such as the Forest 3ft wall shelf accessory can make good use of vertical space. This shed is best suited to one primary item plus hand tools.
