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

The Forest 4Life 8x6 Reverse Apex Windowless Double Door Wooden Shed (4LR86DDNWMHDBUN) measures 2.42m x 1.99m and is built in the UK from FSC® certified timber. The reverse apex roof gives a high roofline with a ridge height of 2.246m meaning you get real headroom inside. It uses overlap cladding with straight-cut boards for a cleaner finish than most overlap sheds.

The timber is pressure treated using a five-stage vacuum and pressure process that forces preservative deep into the wood. This is not a surface dip it goes right through. The result is a 25-year anti-rot guarantee with no need to re-treat the wood ever. Cladding is 7mm thick and framing is 28mm x 28mm with 30% more framing than standard wooden sheds.

Double doors measure 1090mm wide x 1640mm tall and fasten with a hasp and staple. The windowless design stops people seeing what is stored inside. The 12mm solid timber floor sits on pressure-treated bearers. This size suits a lawnmower, tools and garden furniture with room to move around.

The fully modular panel design makes assembly faster and allows flexible door placement. Free White Glove delivery brings it straight into your garden with all packaging removed. The 25-year guarantee is the longest on the market.

The shed uses 28mm x 28mm framing 30% more than standard sheds giving a stronger structure throughout. Walls are clad in 7mm overlap straight-cut timber boards. The reverse apex roof is built from 8mm OSB sheet reinforced by a metal truss bracket and covered in green mineral felt. The 12mm solid timber floor sits on pressure-treated bearers to resist ground moisture. Doors use double-Z bracing to hold shape and are hung on hidden security hinges. All timber is pressure treated using a five-stage vacuum and pressure process.

FSC® certified UK-grown timber throughout. Walls use 7mm overlap cladding. Framing is 28mm x 28mm pressure treated timber. The floor is 12mm solid pressure treated timber on treated bearers. The roof is 8mm OSB covered with green mineral felt and reinforced with a metal truss bracket.

A solid level base such as concrete or paving is required before assembly. The shed cannot be built on grass. A 12mm solid timber floor on pressure-treated bearers is included. No base is supplied with the shed itself. Optional wooden or plastic base kits are available to purchase separately if you do not have an existing solid base.

The shed arrives as fully modular flat-packed panels in smaller interchangeable sections. Forest describe it as far easier to assemble than most wooden sheds. Two people are recommended for handling the panels. Clear instructions and a full set of fixings are included. No assembly time is stated but the modular design is designed to be quicker and simpler to build than traditional shed kits. Professional installation is available as a paid extra.

The base footprint of 2.36m x 1.83m gives enough floor space for a lawnmower, wheelbarrow and a workbench side by side. A standard upright bike fits easily. The ridge height of 2.246m means tall items like ladders can stand upright. Wall space on three sides allows shelving or hooks for hand tools. The 12mm solid floor handles heavier loads than standard OSB shed floors. This size suits a typical family garden storage setup well.
