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 8 x 6 Forest 4Life Overlap Pressure Treated Apex Wooden Shed (2.43m x 1.99m), so provides fabulous garden storage for tools and bikes.
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.

Shed Base Options
Wooden Shed Base Kit
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 236cm (w) x 182.6cm (d)
Plastic Shed Base Kit
Quick and simple to install, the 8x6 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 20 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.
