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

The Forest 4Life 7x5 (2.28m x 1.53m) is a reverse apex wooden shed with double doors and two windows. SKU 4LR57DD2WMHDBUN is Forest Garden's best overlap shed range. It sits at a practical size for most UK gardens and delivers serious storage without taking over the space. Pressure treated with a 25-year anti-rot guarantee the longest on the market this shed is built to last without any annual retreatment.

Walls are built from 7mm straight-edge overlap cladding on a 28mm x 28mm frame that's 30% more framing than standard sheds. The 12mm solid timber floor is far stronger than the OSB found in cheaper sheds and sits on pressure-treated bearers to protect against ground moisture. The roof is 8mm OSB reinforced with a metal truss bracket and finished with green mineral felt.

Double doors open to 1090mm wide and 1640mm tall. Hidden security hinges and a hasp and staple plate keep the doors secure. Two shatterproof PET-glazed windows let in light without yellowing or fading. The windowless rear wall suits boundary placement.

Fully modular panel design makes assembly faster and panels interchangeable. FSC-certified UK timber. Floor and fixings included. A genuinely low-maintenance shed built to outlast the competition.

The shed uses 28mm x 28mm framing 30% more than standard overlap sheds giving the structure greater rigidity. Walls are clad in 7mm straight-edge overlap boards that shed rainwater and allow natural timber movement across seasons. The roof is 8mm OSB reinforced with a metal truss bracket for alignment and strength, covered in green mineral felt. The 12mm solid timber floor sits on pressure-treated bearers to lift it clear of ground moisture. Double doors use double Z-bracing to prevent dropping and hidden hinges to resist tampering.

FSC-certified UK pressure-treated timber throughout. Walls use 7mm straight-edge 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. Windows are PET (polyethylene terephthalate) glazing shatterproof and UV-stable.

A solid level base such as concrete or paving is required before installation. The shed does not include a base but a 12mm solid timber floor with pressure-treated bearers is included as standard. Optional wooden or plastic base kits are available at checkout. You must prepare the base yourself before any installer visit. Laying directly onto grass is not suitable.

This shed arrives as fully modular flat-packed panels with interchangeable sections that are easier to handle than standard shed kits. Two people are recommended for assembly. Clear step-by-step instructions and a full set of fixings are included. A professional installation service is available as an optional upgrade at checkout and is typically arranged within 2 - 3 weeks of delivery.

The internal floor area is approximately 2.12m x 1.47m. A standard push lawnmower fits easily alongside garden tools and storage boxes. A wheelbarrow will fit but leaves limited room for much else. Two bikes could be stored with careful arrangement. The double doors open to 1090mm wide making it easy to move larger items in and out. Wall space on three sides suits hooks or a 3ft wall-mounted shelf for hand tools and smaller items.
