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

The Forest Garden 4Life 7x5 Windowless Apex Shed (4LA57NWMHDBUN) measures 2.18m x 1.64m and is built from FSC-certified UK timber. It has an apex roof and overlap cladding with straight-cut boards for a cleaner finish than most sheds at this level. It is a single-door wooden shed designed for secure garden storage.

The 7mm overlap cladding is pressure treated not just dip treated which forces preservative deep into the timber fibres. This means no retreatment is ever needed and the shed carries a 25-year anti-rot guarantee. The 28mm x 28mm framing is 30% heavier than standard shed framing. The 8mm OSB roof is covered in green mineral felt and reinforced with a metal truss bracket.

The single door uses double-Z framing to hold its shape and is fitted with hidden security hinges and a hasp and staple plate. The windowless design stops passers-by seeing what is stored inside. The 12mm solid pressure-treated timber floor is far stronger than the OSB floors found in standard sheds and sits on pressure-treated bearers.

The fully modular panel design makes assembly straightforward and allows the door to be placed in different positions. Clear instructions and fixings are included. Free White Glove delivery to your garden is included with packaging removed.

The frame uses 28mm x 28mm timber sections around 30% more framing than standard sheds giving the structure real rigidity. The 7mm straight-cut overlap cladding boards shed rainwater effectively and allow the timber to move with seasonal changes without warping or gapping. The 8mm OSB roof sheet is reinforced with a metal truss bracket and covered in green mineral felt. The 12mm solid timber floor sits on pressure-treated bearers to keep it off the ground. The door uses double-Z bracing to hold its shape and hidden hinges to resist tampering.

FSC-certified UK-grown timber throughout. Cladding is 7mm overlap softwood. Framing is 28mm x 28mm softwood. The roof deck is 8mm OSB covered in green mineral felt. The floor is 12mm solid pressure-treated timber on pressure-treated bearers. All structural timber is factory pressure treated.

A floor and pressure-treated bearers are included as standard. The shed must sit on a solid level surface such as concrete or paving slabs. If you do not have a suitable base Forest Garden sell an optional wooden or plastic shed base kit separately. You must prepare any base yourself before delivery or installation.

The shed arrives flat packed in modular sections for DIY self-assembly. All panels are the same size and interchangeable which makes handling and building easier than most wooden sheds. It is a two-person job. Clear instructions and a full set of fixings are included. Professional installation is available as an optional paid extra and is typically arranged within 2 to 3 weeks of delivery.

At 2.12m deep and 1.47m wide this shed will take a lawnmower and a wheelbarrow side by side with room to move around them. A folded garden chair or two will fit against the back wall. Wall space on three sides allows for hooks and a shelf Forest Garden sell a 3ft wall-mounted shelf that fits neatly inside. It is not large enough for a full-size bike alongside bulky equipment but a single bike stored upright is feasible. The 12mm solid floor handles heavier items without flexing.
