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

The Forest Garden 4Life™ 8' x 6' Reverse Apex Overlap Wooden Shed (2.42m x 1.99m) SKU 4LR862WMHDBUN is a UK-made pressure treated shed built from FSC® certified timber. The reverse apex roof gives it a lower ridge line at the front, making it a practical fit along garden boundaries or fence lines. It comes with a 12mm solid timber floor and 8mm OSB roof covered in green mineral felt.

The walls are built from 7mm straight-edge overlap cladding with 28mm x 28mm framing that is 30% more framing than standard sheds. Pressure treatment forces preservative deep into the timber using a vacuum and hydraulic process. The wood never needs retreating. That saves an estimated £200 in treatment costs over its lifetime compared to dip treated sheds.

The single door uses double-Z framing with hidden security hinges and a hasp and staple plate ready for a padlock. Two shatterproof PET-glazed windows are included. The door can be hung left or right and repositioned thanks to the fully modular panel design.

A 25-year anti-rot guarantee the longest on the market backs every 4Life™ shed. Floor and bearers are included as standard. It is ideal for garden tool storage in most garden sizes.

The frame uses 28mm x 28mm timber sections 30% more framing than standard overlap sheds. Walls are clad in 7mm straight-edge overlap boards that allow natural timber movement and shed rainwater effectively. The 8mm OSB roof sheet is reinforced by a metal truss bracket and covered in green mineral felt. The 12mm solid timber floor sits on pressure-treated bearers to lift it clear of ground moisture. The single door uses double-Z bracing to resist dropping and hidden hinges to prevent tampering. All timber is pressure treated to resist rot for 25 years without retreatment.

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 in green mineral felt. Two PET (polyethylene terephthalate) shatterproof glazed windows are fitted as standard.

A solid level base such as concrete or paving is required before installation. The 12mm timber floor and pressure-treated bearers are included as standard so no separate floor is needed. If you do not have a suitable base you can add an 8x6 plastic or wooden base kit at checkout. You must prepare any base yourself before the installers arrive.

The 4Life™ shed arrives as fully modular interchangeable panels in smaller sections making it easier to handle than most wooden sheds. Two people are recommended for assembly. Clear step-by-step instructions and a full set of fixings are included. A professional installation service is available at checkout and is typically arranged within 2 to 3 weeks of delivery. The installation service covers the shed only unless you also select the shed and wooden base install option.

The internal base measures approximately 2.36m wide by 1.83m deep. That gives you enough floor space for a lawnmower and a wheelbarrow side by side with room left over for shelving or wall-mounted hooks along the side walls. A standard push mower fits easily. Getting a full-size bike in alongside a wheelbarrow is possible but leaves little room to move around. The 12mm solid floor handles heavy loads well. Wall-mounted shelves such as the Forest 4' shelf accessory can be added to make the most of the vertical space.
