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

The Forest Garden 4Life (4LA682WMHDBUN) is an 8ft x 6ft apex wooden shed measuring 2.42m x 1.99m. It uses overlap cladding and sits under a classic apex roof with a ridge height of 2,246mm. This is a full-size garden shed with real headroom eaves sit at 1,864mm making it practical for adults to work inside comfortably.

The walls are built from 7mm overlap timber boards. The timber is pressure treated using a five-stage hydraulic process that forces preservative deep into the wood cells not just the surface. This backs a 25-year anti-rot guarantee. The wood never needs retreating. The floor is 12mm solid pressure-treated timber far stronger than the OSB used in standard sheds.

The shed has a single door measuring 1,640mm high by 590mm wide with double-Z framing and hidden security hinges. It fastens with a hasp and staple plate. Two shatterproof PET-glazed windows let in natural light without fading or discolouring. The modular design lets you position the door left or right-hand opening.

The 25-year anti-rot guarantee is the longest on the market. With 30% more framing than standard sheds and an 8mm OSB roof covered in green mineral felt with a metal truss bracket for alignment, this is a well-built shed that will last. Made in the UK from FSC-certified timber.

A solid level base is required before delivery. Grass is not acceptable installers will not assemble the shed without a prepared base. A 12mm solid timber floor with pressure-treated bearers is included with the shed. You can purchase a wooden or plastic base separately. Base preparation is the buyer's responsibility.

This shed arrives in smaller modular panel sections which are easier to handle than full-size panels. Two people are recommended. Clear printed instructions and a full set of fixings are included in the packaging. A professional installation service is available as a paid upgrade Forest will contact you after checkout to arrange a date. Installation is typically within 2 to 3 weeks of delivery.

The internal base measures roughly 1.83m wide by 2.36m deep. That is enough room for a lawnmower and a wheelbarrow side by side with space to walk around them. Two adult bikes will fit. A workbench along one wall leaves room for shelving or wall-mounted hooks on the opposite side. Garden furniture such as folding chairs and a small table will fit easily. This is a practical mid-size shed suited to a typical family garden.
