Forest Garden 4Life 7x5 Pressure Treated Overlap Apex Wooden Shed

The Forest Garden 4Life 7x5 Apex Shed (4LA572WMNDHDBUN) is a 7ft x 5ft (2.18m x 1.64m) wooden overlap shed built in the UK from FSC® certified timber. It has a classic apex roof covered in green mineral felt and is designed for general outdoor storage in most garden sizes. This is Forest Garden's best overlap shed range.

The walls are built from 7mm straight-cut overlap cladding neater than most overlap sheds. The framing is 28mm x 28mm and there is 30% more framing than standard sheds. Pressure treatment forces preservative deep into the timber meaning the wood never needs retreating. The 25-year anti-rot guarantee is the longest on the market.

A single door with double-Z framing and hidden security hinges keeps the shed solid. It fastens with a hasp and staple plate ready for a padlock (not included). Two shatterproof PET-glazed windows let in natural light. The 12mm solid timber floor handles heavy items far better than standard OSB floors.

Fully modular panel design makes assembly faster and allows you to position the door and windows to suit your garden. Fixings and instructions are included. Next Working Day Delivery available.

The frame uses 28mm x 28mm timber sections with 30% more framing than standard sheds. Walls are clad in 7mm straight-cut overlap boards that shed rainwater and allow natural timber movement. The apex roof is 8mm OSB reinforced by a metal truss bracket and covered in green mineral felt. The 12mm solid timber floor sits on pressure-treated bearers. The door uses double-Z bracing to hold its shape and hidden hinges to resist tampering. Pressure treatment forces preservative deep into all timber cells for long-term rot resistance.

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.

This shed arrives as modular panels smaller sections that are easier to handle than full-size panels. Two people are recommended for assembly. Forest Garden supply a full set of fixings and clear instructions. The modular design makes it quicker to build than most standard wooden sheds. Installation is also available as an add-on if you prefer not to self-assemble.

At 1.475m wide and 2.121m deep the 7x5 floor gives enough room for a lawnmower plus a good run of wall space for hooks and shelving. You can fit a wheelbarrow a collection of hand tools and several bags of compost. Two bikes would be tight but one fits easily. The 2178mm ridge height means most adults can stand upright throughout. Wall space on three sides gives plenty of room for shelves or tool hooks.
