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

The Forest Garden 4Life™ 6' x 4' (1.88m x 1.34m) is a reverse apex wooden overlap shed built in the UK from FSC® certified timber. SKU 4LR64NWMHDBUN. It is windowless by design and sits on a solid 12mm timber floor with pressure-treated bearers included as standard. The reverse apex roofline gives generous headroom and the shed is finished with smooth-planed barge boards and decorative finials.

The walls use 7mm straight-cut overlap cladding which sheds rainwater effectively and lets the timber move naturally through the seasons. The framing is 28mm x 28mm and there is 30% more framing than standard wooden sheds. The roof is 8mm OSB covered in green mineral felt. Every panel is pressure treated using a vacuum and hydraulic process that forces preservative deep into the timber. The wood carries a 25-year anti-rot guarantee and never needs retreating.

The single door has double-Z bracing to stop it dropping and is fitted with hidden security hinges that cannot be tampered with from outside. A hasp and staple plate is fitted ready for a padlock. The windowless design means nobody can see what is stored inside. A free Yale combination padlock is included with this model.

At 6' x 4' this shed fits a lawnmower, tools and garden kit without taking over the garden. The modular panel design makes assembly straightforward and clear instructions with a full set of fixings are included. The 25-year guarantee is the longest on the market.

The frame uses 28mm x 28mm timber sections with 30% more framing than standard wooden sheds. Walls are clad in 7mm straight-cut overlap boards that shed rainwater and allow natural timber movement. The 8mm OSB roof is covered in green mineral felt and finished with smooth-planed barge boards. The 12mm solid timber floor sits on pressure-treated bearers. The single door has double-Z bracing to prevent dropping and hidden hinges that cannot be accessed from outside. All timber is vacuum and pressure treated to force preservative deep into the wood.

FSC® certified UK timber throughout. Walls use 7mm overlap cladding on 28mm x 28mm framing. The floor is 12mm solid pressure-treated timber on pressure-treated bearers. The roof is 8mm OSB covered in green mineral felt. All structural timber is pressure treated using a vacuum and hydraulic process.

A solid level base such as concrete or paving is required before installation. The shed floor and pressure-treated bearers are included as standard so no separate floor kit is needed. If you do not have a solid base you can add a wooden or plastic base kit as an optional extra. You must prepare the base yourself before any installer visit.

This shed arrives as flat-packed modular panels in smaller sections designed for easier handling. Two people are recommended for assembly. A full set of fixings and clear instructions are included. Professional installation is available as a paid extra and is typically scheduled within 2 to 3 weeks of delivery. You must have a prepared level base in place before installers arrive.

At 1.83m x 1.18m (6ft x 3ft 10in) at the base this shed will hold a lawnmower and a good selection of hand tools. A wheelbarrow will fit but leaves limited room for much else alongside it. There is wall space for hooks or a small shelf such as the Forest 4ft wall-mounted shelf sold separately. A full-size bike is a tight fit. The high roofline adds usable headroom for longer-handled tools. It is not large enough for a ride-on mower or garden furniture.
