Forest Garden 4Life 8ft x 6ft Double Door Apex Pressure Treated Overlap Wooden Shed

The Forest Garden 4Life 8x6 Double Door Apex Shed (SKU: 4LA68DD2WMHDBUN) is an 8ft x 6ft (2.42m x 1.99m) wooden apex shed built from FSC® certified UK timber. It uses overlap cladding with straight-cut boards and double doors. Forest call this the best overlap shed range they have ever made. The high roofline gives generous headroom for a shed this size.

Walls are clad in 7mm overlap timber. The framing is 28mm x 28mm and there is 30% more framing than standard wooden sheds. The shed is pressure treated using a five-stage hydraulic process that forces preservative deep into the timber. This gives it a 25-year anti-rot guarantee the longest on the market and the wood never needs retreating.

Double doors sit on hidden security hinges with double-Z framing and a hasp and staple plate. A padlock is not included but a free Yale combination padlock is supplied. Two shatterproof PET-glazed windows let in natural light. The 12mm solid timber floor with pressure-treated bearers is far stronger than standard shed flooring.

Fully modular panel design makes assembly straightforward and allows door and window positions to be changed. White Glove delivery brings it straight into your garden with packaging removed.

Framing is 28mm x 28mm timber 30% more than standard sheds giving the structure real rigidity. Walls use 7mm straight-cut overlap cladding which sheds rainwater effectively and allows the timber to move with seasonal changes. The 8mm OSB roof is reinforced with a metal truss bracket for alignment and strength then 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. Hidden hinges resist external tampering.

FSC® certified UK timber throughout. Walls use 7mm straight-cut overlap cladding. Framing is 28mm x 28mm timber. The roof is 8mm OSB covered in green mineral felt. The floor is 12mm pressure-treated solid timber on pressure-treated bearers. All timber is pressure treated using a five-stage hydraulic process.

A solid level base is required before assembly and is not included. Suitable bases include a concrete slab or paving slabs. A 12mm pressure-treated solid timber floor with bearers is included with the shed. Optional wooden or plastic base kits are available to purchase separately. Laying directly onto grass is not suitable and installers will not proceed without a proper base in place.

This shed arrives flat-packed in modular panel sections for DIY assembly. The smaller sections are easier to handle and transport than full-size panels. Two people are recommended. Clear instructions and a full set of fixings are included. Professional installation is available as a paid optional extra Forest will contact you after checkout to arrange a date. Installation is typically within 2 to 3 weeks of delivery.

The internal base measures approximately 1.83m wide by 2.36m deep. That is enough floor space for a lawnmower and a wheelbarrow side by side with room left over for garden tools. A standard upright bike will fit. Wall space runs along all four sides and is suitable for hooks or Forest's wall-mounted shelving accessories. The 12mm solid floor handles heavier items without flexing. This is not large enough for a full set of garden furniture but works well for active garden storage.
