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

The Forest Garden 4Life 8x6 Windowless Double Door Apex Shed (4LA68DDNWMHDBUN) is a pressure treated wooden overlap shed measuring 2.42m x 1.99m. Built in the UK from FSC certified timber it has a classic apex roof with an eaves height of 1.86m and a ridge height of 2.25m. It is windowless by design which makes it one of the more secure overlap sheds at this size.

The walls use 7mm straight-cut overlap cladding which sheds rainwater effectively and lets the timber move naturally through the seasons. The framing is 28mm x 28mm and there is 30% more framing than standard sheds. Pressure treatment forces preservative deep into the timber giving a 25-year anti-rot guarantee. The wood never needs retreating saving an estimated £200 over its lifetime.

Double doors are 1.09m wide and 1.64m tall with double-Z framing to prevent dropping. Hidden security hinges cannot be tampered with from outside. The hasp and staple latch takes a padlock which is not included but a free Yale combination padlock is supplied. The windowless design stops anyone seeing what is stored inside. A 12mm solid timber floor sits on pressure treated bearers for ground moisture protection.

The 25-year anti-rot guarantee is the longest on the market. Modular panels make assembly straightforward and White Glove delivery brings it straight into your garden with all packaging removed.

The frame uses 28mm x 28mm timber sections with 30% more framing than standard sheds giving the structure greater rigidity. Walls are clad in 7mm straight-cut overlap boards that shed water 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. Double doors use double-Z bracing and hidden hinges to resist warping and tampering.

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. The roof is 8mm OSB covered with green mineral felt. All timber is pressure treated using a hydraulic preservative process backed by a 25-year anti-rot guarantee.

A floor and pressure treated bearers are included as standard. You still need a solid level base such as concrete or paving beneath the bearers. If you do not have one an optional plastic or wooden shed base kit is available to buy separately. You must prepare the base yourself before delivery or installation.

The shed arrives as flat-packed modular panels in smaller sections that are easier to handle than full-size shed panels. Two people are recommended for assembly. Clear instructions and a full set of fixings are included. Professional installation is available as an optional extra and is typically arranged within 2 to 3 weeks of delivery.

The floor area is 1.83m wide by 2.36m deep. A standard lawnmower fits easily with room left for a workbench along one wall. You can store a wheelbarrow and several sets of tools alongside it. Two bikes can fit but leave little room to move around. The 2.25m ridge height means you can stand upright throughout. Wall space on three sides suits hooks or a shelf unit for smaller items.
