Forest Garden 4Life 7ft x 5ft Double Door Apex Wooden Shed Pressure Treated

The Forest Garden 4Life 7x5 Double Door Apex Shed (SKU: 4LA75DD2WMHDBUN) is a 7ft x 5ft (2.28m x 1.53m) wooden apex shed built in the UK from FSC® certified timber. It uses 7mm overlap cladding with straight-cut boards and sits on a 12mm solid pressure-treated timber floor far stronger than the OSB flooring found in most standard sheds.

Every piece of timber is pressure treated, forcing preservative deep into the wood fibres. This is not a dip-treated shed. The result is a 25-year anti-rot guarantee the longest on the market and wood that never needs retreating. That saves an estimated £200 in treatment costs over the shed's life. Framing is 28mm x 28mm and there is 30% more of it than in standard overlap sheds.

Double doors measure 1090mm wide x 1640mm tall with double-Z bracing and hidden security hinges that cannot be tampered with from outside. A hasp and staple plate is fitted ready for a padlock. Two shatterproof PET-glazed windows let in natural light without fading or discolouring.

This shed stands out because of its pressure treatment, solid timber floor and modular panel system. Panels are interchangeable so door and window positions can be changed to suit your garden layout.

The frame uses 28mm x 28mm timber sections with 30% more framing than standard overlap sheds. Walls are clad in 7mm straight-cut overlap boards that shed rainwater and allow natural timber movement. The roof is 8mm OSB reinforced by a metal truss bracket for alignment and strength then covered in green mineral felt. The 12mm solid timber floor sits on pressure-treated bearers. Double doors use double-Z bracing and hidden hinges. All timber is pressure treated preservative is forced in under hydraulic pressure for permanent rot resistance.

FSC® certified UK-grown timber throughout. Walls use 7mm overlap cladding boards. Framing is 28mm x 28mm pressure-treated timber. The floor is 12mm solid pressure-treated timber on UC4-grade bearers. The roof sheet is 8mm OSB covered in green mineral felt. Windows are PET (polyethylene terephthalate) glazing shatterproof and made from recycled materials.

No base is included with the shed. It must sit on a firm level surface such as a concrete slab or paving. Laying it directly onto grass is not suitable. Optional wooden or plastic base kits are available to add at checkout. The shed does include a 12mm pressure-treated solid timber floor on pressure-treated bearers.

This shed arrives as fully modular flat-packed sections. Smaller panel sizes make handling easier than most wooden sheds. Two people are recommended for assembly. Clear instructions and a full set of fixings are included. A professional installation service is available as an optional extra at checkout installation is typically arranged within 2 to 3 weeks of delivery.

The floor area is 2.12m x 1.47m at the base. That is enough room for a lawnmower and a wheelbarrow side by side with space left for long-handled tools along one wall. A standard rotary mower fits easily. Two bikes would be a tight squeeze alongside other equipment. The 12mm solid timber floor handles heavy items without flexing. Wall-mounted shelves available as accessories make good use of the side walls for smaller kit and pots.
