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

The Forest Garden 4Life 7x5 Apex Shed (4LA572WMHDBUN) is a 7ft x 5ft (2.18m x 1.64m) pressure treated wooden shed with a classic apex roof. Built in the UK from FSC® certified timber it sits at a practical size for most gardens. The apex roofline gives generous headroom with a ridge height of 2178mm and eaves at 1864mm.

Walls are built from 7mm straight-edge overlap cladding with 28mm x 28mm framing that is 30% more framing than standard sheds. The pressure treatment is forced deep into the timber using hydraulic pressure giving a 25-year anti-rot guarantee. The wood never needs retreating saving an estimated £200 over its lifetime compared to dip treated sheds.

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 ready for a padlock. Two shatterproof PET-glazed windows will not fade or discolour. The 12mm solid timber floor is far stronger than standard OSB shed floors and comes with pressure treated bearers included.

With a 25-year anti-rot guarantee that beats the standard 10-year market guarantee this shed is built to last. Fully modular panels make assembly straightforward. Clear instructions and fixings are included.

The frame uses 28mm x 28mm timber sections 30% more framing than standard sheds giving the structure greater rigidity. Walls are clad in 7mm straight-edge overlap boards. The apex roof is built from 8mm OSB sheet 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. The door uses double-Z bracing and hidden hinges. All timber is pressure treated using a five-stage vacuum and hydraulic process forcing preservative deep into the wood cells.

FSC® certified UK timber throughout. Cladding is 7mm overlap softwood boards. Framing is 28mm x 28mm softwood. The floor is 12mm solid pressure treated timber on pressure treated bearers. The roof deck is 8mm OSB covered in green mineral felt. Windows are PET (polyethylene terephthalate) glazing.

No base is included but the 12mm solid timber floor and pressure treated bearers are supplied as standard. The shed must sit on a solid level surface such as concrete or paving. A wooden base kit or plastic base kit can be purchased separately. Do not place directly onto grass as this will void the installation service.

This shed arrives flat packed in modular sections. All fixings and clear printed instructions are included. It is a two-person job. The modular panel design means sections are smaller and easier to handle than traditional shed panels making the build quicker. A professional installation service is available as an optional extra and is typically arranged within 2 to 3 weeks of delivery.

The floor area is 2.12m x 1.47m at the base. A standard push lawnmower will fit with room to spare. You can fit a workbench along one wall with shelving above and still have floor space for tools and smaller equipment. A wheelbarrow fits. Two bikes would be tight but possible if stored carefully. Wall hooks or shelves can be added to all four walls to maximise vertical storage space.
