Description
4Life™ Pressure Treated Sheds are the best range of overlap sheds Forest has ever made. Available in a variety of styles and sizes, they are all expertly designed and built in the UK. This one is the 10x6 Double Door Apex Shed (3.02m x 1.99m), so provides fantastic outdoor storage and makes a great garden workshop too.

Pressure-Treated Wood with a 4Life™ Guarantee

This wooden shed is pressure treated to prevent rot and backed by an unbeatable 25-year anti-rot guarantee, which is the longest guarantee on the market. The wood will never need retreating, saving time and money. You'll only ever need one shed with a 4Life™ Shed!

Modular Design

A modular design means this garden shed is delivered in smaller sections of interchangeable panels, making it far easier to assemble than most wooden sheds. This modular design also allows a choice of window placement, so the shed can be customised to match precise requirements. And with 30% more framing than standard wooden sheds, this 10x6 shed isn't just easy to assemble and versatile, it's incredibly strong too.

Walls, Floor and Roof

The walls are built from 7mm overlap cladding, which ensures effective rainwater runoff and allows the timber to move naturally over the changing seasons. Unlike most other overlap sheds, the boards are straight cut, giving them a far more stylish finish.

Constructed from 14mm solid wood, the floor is 40% thicker than regular shed flooring and comes with pressure-treated bearers to provide extra protection from ground moisture. The roof is made from 8mm solid sheet, reinforced by a metal truss bracket, and fitted with a premium mineral-felt cover for complete weatherproof protection. Its apex design, smooth-planed barge boards and attractive finial add the finishing touches to an exceptionally stylish appearance.

A Security-Enhanced Shed

The wide double doors come with double-Z framing for added strength and to prevent them losing shape. Hidden security hinges and a hasp & staple plate keep valuable tools secure (padlock not included).

The 4 PET-glazed windows allow an abundance of natural light into the shed. They are made from recyclable materials, completely shatterproof, and will neither fade nor discolour in the sun. A high roofline provides generous headroom and increases garden storage options.

White Glove Delivery Service

Forest's White Glove Service will deliver this shed for free to most UK addresses, straight into the customer's garden, with all of the packaging removed. Clear instructions and a full set of fixings are included for a straightforward assembly.

Optional Upgrades

Optional upgrades include a professional installation service and pressure-treated shed base.

Shed Base Options4120025_1.jpg

Wooden Shed Base Kit - extra £134.99

As an alternative to laying slabs or concrete, this shed base is a faster, more cost effective DIY solution.

The wooden shed base consists of a framework that is made from UC4 incised timber which has been pressure treated. The pressure treatment ensures that the framework is robust and is guaranteed to resist rot for an impressive 15 years.

Size of base: 7.5cm (h) x 182.6cm (w) x 295cm (d)

Plastic Shed Base Kit - extra £154.99
Quick and simple to install, the 10x6 plastic shed base kit is ideal for avoiding the hassle of laying slabs or concrete when preparing a base for a new shed. Its interlocking design makes it easy to put together and, though lightweight, it provides a very strong and durable base for the shed. Made from 100% recycled plastic, this shed base is eco-friendly. Also, it can be reused if the shed is repositioned. The base allows for ventilation and drainage under the shed, helping to keep the shed floor dry.

To install the base, simply interlock the square grids together and lay onto a firm, level area of ground. We recommend using 15kg of 10mm pea gravel per square (gravel not included). Each square is 500 x 500 x 40mm. This pack contains 24 squares and heavy-duty, commercially-graded weed membrane.

Please be advised that we do not assemble plastic shed bases as part of our installation service. You must prepare the base yourself in advance of the installers' visit.


Read Less...Why Choose a Forest Overlap 4Life Shed™?
Forest Garden are proud to introduce their latest innovation: The 4Life Shed™. You can configure a shed that suits you and your garden. All boast a solid timber floor, 30% more framing and are easier to build. You'll only ever need one shed with a 4Life Shed™.

4120025_1.jpg
Why you need a Forest Overlap Pressure Treated 4Life Shed™?

If you're looking to purchase a new shed and can afford a slightly higher initial spend, buying a pressure treated shed will save you a lot of time and money in the long term. 4Life Sheds are completely maintenance free - there is no need to ever apply treatment. Most other sheds require treatment once built - then yearly treatment thereafter.

Forest branded pressure treated sheds have a number of features to ensure maximum durability and strength including solid boarded wooden floors, security door hinges, extra framing and so much more.

4120025_1.jpg
1. Metal Roof Truss BracketsLarger apex models feature a metal truss bracket that adds strength to the roof and ensures best alignment.

4120025_1.jpg2. High Quality Roof The roof is made from 8mm OSB and is covered in a durable weatherproof felt. Reflecting the high quality of this shed, the roof is finished with smooth planed barge boards and a decorative finial.

4120025_1.jpg3. Increased Security Windows Our windows are glazed with shatterproof PET glazing, made from recycled materials, which will not yellow or become brittle over time. PET is more robust than the styrene used in standard sheds.

4120025_1.jpg4. Pressure Treated Modular Panels Pressure treatment forces preservative deep inside the timber. The result is long-lasting protection against rot and fungal decay. There is no need to re-treat EVER, saving an estimated £200 in time and treatment costs compared to dip treated sheds. Same size panels are interchangeable - you can choose the window placement to suit your garden allowing flexibility for your garden design. Doors can be positioned to the left or right of the shed. Single doors can be hung to be left- or right-hand opening.

4120025_1.jpg5. Thick Timber Framing & Overlap Cladding The design of our sheds feature more extenisve framing than standard sheds (30% more framing). This results in a more robust build. 7mm straight edge overlap cladding provides consistency and strength as well as providing the traditional style we all know and love. The high-quality cladding means the panels are less likely to warp or develop gaps.

4120025_1.jpg6. Hidden Hinges Our doors are fitted with hidden security hinges, the hidden hinges cannot be tampered with from the outside.

4120025_1.jpg7. Robust Doors with Double Z Framing Our doors feature double Z bracing for extra strength, security and to prevent the doors dropping. This is superior to the basic ledge bracing on standard sheds.

4120025_1.jpg8. Secure Door Latch Plate Fastened The doors are fitted with a hasp and staple closure, ready for you to add a padlock (padlock not included).

    I've absolutely awful experience with Forest Garden.....
    Sheds arrived smashed. Twice.
    Parts missing, to both original and replacement sheds.Poor quality timber.
    Absolute nightmare to deal with their customer services.
    Went elsewhere for the next shed i needed.
    Other opinions obviously available, but I would not in good conscience receommend them.

    Feels like every online shed company has appalling reviews that put me off. Anyone had good experiences online? Feels like I'd rather get it bought and installed locally.

    Like the talk on security and hidden screws.
    Pointless, make it easy for them is the way, otherwise you have a bar crammed behind the clasp or between the joins an it is cracked and ripped open easily. And you have a repair job.
    It's a thin wooden shed.

    Sheds, for me have to be shiplap for it to last any length. (edited)

    Hopefully as this is pressure treated that should not be a problem, the 25 year guarantee is there but who knows how that holds up. Personally I would always buy anything like this by credit card to get the added protection then if it doesn't last a reasonable length of time you have a bit more protection.

    Just came back from Sweden and they always use vertically attached boards so the rain runs off. Sheds there last for years

    Makes sense, I've always thought the boards should be vertical

    I've got this it's very flimsy
  6. pboo26's avatar
    I've got one of these but 8x6. Great shed had it 2 years nearly.
    Painted mine as it looks very bland and unfinished in its natural state.

    7mm walls… No chance that’s lasting 25 years
  8. Rumpelstiltskin's avatar
    I’m looking at buying one of these later in the year, 12x8, it £1599 but is totally tongue and groove construction with glass windows, better roof felt, lock etc. probably end up insulating it and moving in after.
    Karl_Simpson's avatar
    with which company please?
  9. Evouk's avatar
    I bought a shed like this about 4 years ago and it's not done to good tbh. Replaced several slats as they had warped, felt replaced this year as it was leaking and now the tongue and grooved door has split. The hinges supplied were a joke along with the clasp.

    Potential man cave?

    Not unless you want to freeze. This is designed to be a simple shed unfortunately.

    Trust pilot reviews arent great when you read the 1st few but I guess most folk only write negative reviews as they are annoyed
  13. akustics's avatar
    What about installation?
    srk_90's avatar
    I can come round for £50. 
  14. tony1973's avatar
    Mine was supposed to be pressure treated and it was worst one I've ever bought, it was from this company, it looked poor from the beginning and we put it up and it continously leaked in poor weather, the shed was taken back and full refund paid.
