Description

UK made, packed with premium features and backed by a market-leading 25-year guarantee, Forest 4Life™ Sheds are the best range of overlap sheds Forest has ever made. This one is the 7 x 5 Forest 4Life Overlap Pressure Treated Apex Wooden Shed with Lean To (2.18m x 2.31m), so provides fabulous multi-purpose garden storage.

Maintenance-Free Modular Build with A 4Life™ Guarantee

This garden shed is pressure treated and backed by the longest guarantee on the market, so no further treatment is required, saving you lots of time and money. You'll only ever need one shed with a 4Life™ Shed!

What's more, the timber is FSC®-certified, which is the only wood certification scheme endorsed by all the major environmental charities.

A modular design means this shed is delivered in smaller sections of interchangeable panels but you get more wood, so it's much easier to assemble and far stronger than other wooden sheds. These interchangeable panels also give you the opportunity to choose the door and window positions (please see the floor plan for further details).

Walls, Floor and Roof

Supported by 30% more framing than found on most wooden sheds, the walls are constructed from 7mm overlap cladding. These smart, straight-cut wooden boards allow for the natural movement of the timber over the changing seasons and provide excellent rainwater runoff.

Supported by pressure-treated bearers, the 14mm solid timber floor is 40% thicker than most shed floors! The roof is built from tough 8mm OSB and comes with a mineral-felt cover to keep the interior completely dry. It features a traditional apex design and offers plenty of headroom. Smooth-planed barge boards and a finial perfectly round off the shed's incredibly stylish appearance.

Door and Windows

A ledged and braced door provides easy access to the shed. It features hidden security hinges plus a hasp & staple plate to keep your valuable tools secure (padlock not included).

The 2 PET-glazed windows provide plenty of natural light. UV protected to prevent discolouration and fading, they are completely shatterproof and far more secure than conventional glass.

The Lean To

Built from the same premium timber as the rest of the shed, the lean to is perfectly designed to keep firewood dry and aired. Of course, there's nothing to stop you using it as an additional sheltered storage space for bikes and other outdoor equipment instead.

Forest's White Glove Delivery Service

Free delivery is available to most UK addresses using Forest's White Glove Service, who will deliver the shed straight into your garden, with all of its packaging removed. Fixings and instructions are included for a straightforward assembly.

Optional Upgrades

A professional shed-installation service is available for you to buy as an optional extra.

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™.

 

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. 

 

1. Metal Roof Truss Brackets

Larger apex models feature a metal truss bracket that adds strength to the roof and ensures best alignment.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. Hidden Hinges

Our doors are fitted with hidden security hinges, the hidden hinges cannot be tampered with from the outside.

7. 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.

8. 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).

9. Solid Wooden Floor

Strong 14mm pressure-treated boarded timber floor. This wooden floor is built to withstand storage of heavier items as well as years of footfall. The floor is further strengthened by pressure treated bearers. A timber floor is far superior to the OSB that comes with standard sheds.

Highly Adaptable

QUICK AND EASY CONSTRUCTION.

Pressure Treatment Process Explained

The Pressure Treatment process for timber has been applied to products for a number of years; the key benefit of this process is that the preservative is forced under vacuum pressure right deep into the heart of the wood and the grain structure. The preservative becomes an integral part of the wood; giving a long life and protection against rot.

 

This process also means that you never have to apply preservatives to your garden shed, and it allows the natural colours of the timber to show through and so your shed blends easily within your garden. Surprisingly, our Pressure Treated Sheds are only slightly more expensive than Dip Treated Sheds.

VACUUM

Timber is loaded into chamber and a vacuum empties timber cells of air.

FLOODED

Cylinder is flooded under vacuum with preservative.

PRESSURE

Preservative is forced deep into timber using hydraulic pressure.

VACUUM

Another vacuum extracts excess preservative.

 

DRY

Timber draws in surface excess of preservative under low pressure, then is left to dry.

 

NO NEED TO RE-TREAT - SAVING YOU TIME AND MONEY!

"We're proud to be the largest and most trusted manufacturer and distributor of garden timber products in the UK" - Forest Garden
 

Making British Gardens Great

 

At Forest, we know a fair bit about fences. And sheds for that matter. In fact, we've been one of the UK's most trusted manufacturer and distributor of quality wooden garden products for over 50 years.

 

With two sawmills in the UK processing locally-sourced timber, and a Head Office in Hartlebury, Worcestershire, you’ll find our range of garden buildings, fencing, decking and decorative structures for sale across many sites online and in over 3,000 retail stores. From the forest to the doorstep, we are involved every step of the way to ensure we bring you the best product and service.

 

Well made in Britain

 

The majority of the timber we use is grown and felled from managed UK forests across Scotland and Wales. After felling, the timber is cut and processed in one of our nearby sawmills and taken to our manufacturing operation in the heart of Britain. It is here our skilled workforce proudly produce the widest range of garden buildings, fencing and structures available in the UK.

 

All of the products that we sell are dispatched from this site. The final part of their journey is managed by our dedicated delivery department who are responsible for distribution direct to customers' homes by our fleet of vehicles.

 

Home Grown

 

We're proud to say that the majority of the timber we use is cut in our very own sawmill from trees grown in the UK.

 

Not only that, but our range is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council and the majority of our products carry the FSC logo - so you know that our timber is ethically sourced from well-managed, sustainable forests that are replanted for future generations.
