The range of Overlap Treated Sheds from Forest under the 4Life™ brand is the finest they have ever produced. These sheds are available in various designs and dimensions, all expertly crafted and manufactured in the United Kingdom. This particular model is the 12×8 Double Door Apex Shed (3.6m x 2.61m), offering ample outdoor storage space and serving as an excellent garden workshop too.Treated Wood with a 4Life™ WarrantyThis timber shed is treated to resist decay and is supported by an exceptional 25-year anti-decay warranty, the lengthiest in the industry. The wood will never require re-treatment, saving both time and money. You’ll only need a single shed with a 4Life™ Shed!Modular Construction EnhancementNow featuring an improved fully modular layout, this garden shed is delivered in smaller segments of interchangeable panels, facilitating a much simpler assembly compared to most wooden sheds. This modular design also provides an extensive selection of door and window placements, enabling customization to meet specific requirements. With 30% more framing than standard wooden sheds, this 12×8 shed is not only easy to assemble and adaptable but also remarkably sturdy.Walls, Flooring, and RoofThe walls are constructed using 7mm overlap cladding, ensuring efficient rainwater drainage and enabling the timber to expand naturally during different seasons. Unlike most other overlap sheds, the boards feature straight cuts, resulting in a more elegant finish.The floor, made from 14mm solid timber, is 40% thicker than conventional shed floors and includes pressure-treated bearers for added protection against ground moisture.The roof comprises 8mm solid sheet reinforced with a metal truss bracket, topped with high-quality mineral-felt for complete weather resistance. Its apex design, smooth-planed barge boards, and appealing finials provide a stylish final touch to its appearance.Secure DesignThe double doors can be positioned in various ways and are reinforced with double-Z framing to prevent deformation. Concealed security hinges and a hasp & staple plate keep valuable tools secure (padlock not provided). The shed features 6 PET-glazed windows that let in plenty of natural light. These windows are made from recyclable materials, completely unbreakable, and resistant to fading or discoloration from sunlight. A high roofline allows for ample headroom and increases storage options in the garden.White Glove Delivery ServiceForest’s White Glove Service delivers this shed at no cost to most UK locations, placing it directly in the customer’s garden with all packaging removed.

The wooden base comprises UC4 incised timber that is pressure-treated for robustness and guaranteed to resist decay for up to 15 years. Base size: 7.5cm (h) x 241.6cm (w) x 354cm (d)       Plastic Base Kit The 12×8 plastic shed base kit is quick and easy to install, ideal for bypassing the inconvenience of laying slabs or concrete for a base. Featuring an interlocking design, it is simple to assemble and, despite being lightweight, offers a robust and durable foundation for the shed. Constructed from 100% recycled plastic, this base is eco-friendly and can be reused if the shed is relocated. It allows for ventilation and drainage under the shed, assisting in keeping the shed floor dry. To install the base, interlock the square grids and lay them on a firm, level ground. We recommend using 15kg of 10mm pea gravel per square (gravel not included). Each square measures 500 x 500 x 40mm. This pack contains 40 squares and heavy-duty, commercially graded weed membrane. Please note that we do not assemble plastic shed bases as part of our installation service. A helpful installation video for this plastic shed base can be found here. You must prepare the base in accordance with the supplied instructions ahead of the installers’ arrival. Placing the base directly on grass is not suitable, and the installers will not be able to assemble your garden building.

FAQs

The size of the shed depends on what you plan to store or use it for. Measure the items you plan to store and consider any additional space for moving around or future storage needs. Common sizes range from small (6×8 feet) for basic storage to large (12×24 feet) for workshops or extensive storage.
Sheds are typically made from wood, metal, or plastic. Wood is aesthetically pleasing and customizable but requires more maintenance. Metal sheds are durable and secure but can be prone to rust. Plastic sheds are low-maintenance and easy to assemble but may not be as sturdy as wood or metal.

Permit requirements vary by location. Check with your local building department or zoning office. Typically, small sheds (under 120 square feet) may not require a permit, but larger ones or those with electrical installations often do.

A solid foundation is crucial for stability and longevity. Options include concrete slabs, gravel bases, or wooden platforms. Choose a foundation based on your shed’s size, material, and the ground conditions of your site.
Look for sheds with features like weather-resistant materials, proper sealing, and robust construction. Ensure the shed has a good roof overhang, proper drainage, and secure locking mechanisms to protect against theft and weather damage.
Assembly time depends on the size and complexity of the shed. Small, simple sheds can be assembled in a few hours, while larger or more complex sheds may take a full day or more. Professional installation is also an option for those who prefer not to DIY.
Maintenance depends on the material. Wooden sheds need periodic painting or staining and checking for rot or pests. Metal sheds may need rust prevention treatments. Plastic sheds require minimal maintenance, typically just cleaning as needed.
Moving a shed is possible but can be challenging, especially for larger structures. It’s easier to move a smaller shed if it has a solid base. Consider the logistics and potential costs of moving before installation. If moving is likely, a portable shed might be a better option.
Many sheds come with detailed assembly instructions, making them suitable for DIY installation, especially smaller models. However, larger or more complex sheds may require professional installation to ensure they are properly and safely assembled. Assess your skill level, available tools, and the complexity of the shed before deciding.
