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

The Forest Garden 4Life 8x6 Reverse Apex Wooden Shed (4LR86DD2WMHDBUN) is a double door overlap shed measuring 2.42m x 1.99m. Built in the UK from FSC® certified timber it has a reverse apex roof style giving a high roofline with a ridge height of 2246mm. It fits well in most standard gardens and gives serious outdoor storage space.

Walls are built from 7mm overlap cladding on 28mm x 28mm framing 30% more framing than standard wooden sheds. The timber is pressure treated not dip treated. Pressure treatment forces preservative deep into the wood under hydraulic pressure meaning no retreating ever and a full 25-year anti-rot guarantee backing that up.

Double doors measure 1090mm wide x 1640mm tall with double-Z framing and hidden security hinges. The hasp and staple plate is fitted ready for a padlock. Two shatterproof PET-glazed windows let in light. The 12mm solid timber floor sits on pressure-treated bearers and is far stronger than the OSB floors found in standard sheds.

The 25-year anti-rot guarantee is the longest on the market. No annual treatment costs. White Glove delivery brings it straight into your garden free. A free Yale combination padlock is included.

Technical Details

The frame uses 28mm x 28mm timber sections 30% more framing than standard sheds. Walls are clad in 7mm straight-edge overlap boards. The 8mm OSB roof is reinforced with a metal truss bracket and covered in green mineral felt. The 12mm solid timber floor sits on pressure-treated bearers. Double doors use double-Z bracing and hidden hinges. All timber is pressure treated under hydraulic pressure forcing preservative deep into the cells for long-term rot resistance.

Materials & Construction

FSC® certified UK-grown timber throughout. Walls use 7mm 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. All timber is pressure treated not dip treated.

Base & Foundation

A floor and pressure-treated bearers are included with this shed. You still need a firm level base underneath a concrete slab or paving is ideal. An 8x6 plastic or wooden shed base kit is available as an optional extra. Do not lay the shed directly onto grass as this will cause problems with moisture and stability.

Assembly Guide

This shed arrives flat packed in smaller modular sections for DIY assembly. Clear instructions and a full set of fixings are included. Two people are recommended for safe handling of panels and the roof. A professional installation service is available as an optional extra. The modular panel design makes it quicker and simpler to build than most standard wooden sheds.

What It Will Hold

At 2.42m x 1.99m this shed gives a solid footprint for garden storage. A standard rotary lawnmower fits easily with room left for a workbench along one wall. Two bikes can fit but will take up most of the floor space. A wheelbarrow fits alongside smaller tools. Wall space on three sides allows for hooks and shelves Forest's own wall-mounted shelves are available as optional extras. Not large enough for a ride-on mower.
