Forest Garden 4Life 6ft x 4ft Pressure Treated Overlap Apex Wooden Shed

The Forest Garden 4Life 6ft x 4ft Apex Wooden Shed (4LA461WMNDHDBUN) is a pressure treated overlap shed measuring 1.88m x 1.34m. It has a classic apex roof with smooth-planed barge boards and decorative finials. Built in the UK from FSC® certified timber it is designed for general outdoor storage in smaller gardens.

The 7mm straight-cut overlap cladding sits on 28mm x 28mm framing 30% more framing than standard sheds. The 8mm OSB roof is covered with green mineral felt for full weatherproofing. Pressure treatment forces preservative deep into the timber giving a 25-year anti-rot guarantee the longest on the market. The wood never needs retreating.

A single door with double-Z framing resists dropping and distortion. Hidden security hinges cannot be tampered with from outside and a hasp and staple plate is fitted ready for a padlock (not included). One shatterproof PET-glazed window lets in light without yellowing. The shed has no floor-level windows so stored items stay out of sight.

The 12mm solid pressure treated timber floor is far stronger than the OSB flooring found in standard sheds. Pressure treated bearers are included as standard. Full fixings and clear assembly instructions are supplied.

The 28mm x 28mm timber framing is 30% heavier than standard shed framing giving the structure greater rigidity. The 7mm straight-cut overlap cladding boards allow natural timber movement across the seasons and shed rainwater effectively. The 8mm OSB roof sheet is covered with green mineral felt for weatherproofing and finished with smooth-planed barge boards and a decorative finial. The 12mm solid pressure treated timber floor sits on pressure treated bearers. The door uses double-Z bracing to resist distortion and hidden hinges to prevent external tampering.
