Accessible in a variety of dimensions and styles, the 4Life™ Pressure Treated Storage Sheds are Forest’s finest selection of overlap storages ever crafted. Skillfully devised and constructed in the United Kingdom, this particular one is the 8×6 Windowless Double Entry Apex Storage with a Lean To (2.42m x 2.65m), offering numerous storage alternatives for gardens of various sizes.

Pressure-Treated Timber with a 4Life™ Assurance

This timber storage has undergone pressure treatment to combat decay and is upheld by an outstanding 25-year anti-rot assurance, which is unparalleled in the marketplace. The timber will not require re-treatment, saving time and money. A solitary storage is all that is ever needed with a 4Life™ Storage!

Completely Modular Structure

Presenting an enhanced fully modular structure, this garden storage is delivered in smaller replaceable panel segments, simplifying the assembly process compared to most timber storages. This modular framework also provides an industry-leading array of door positions, enabling customization to meet precise demands. Additionally, with 30% more framing than typical timber storages, this 8×6 storage is not only simple to assemble and adaptable but also exceedingly durable.

Walls, Base, and Rooftop

The walls are crafted from 7mm overlap cladding, ensuring efficient rainwater drainage and allowing the timber to naturally expand and contract with the seasons. Unlike many other overlap storages, the boards feature straight cutting, giving them a more elegant appearance.

The base, built from 14mm solid timber, is 40% thicker than standard storage floors and comes with pressure-treated bearers for added protection against ground moisture.

A metal truss bracket reinforces the 8mm solid rooftop, covered with premium mineral-felt for comprehensive weatherproofing. Its apex layout, smooth-planed barge boards, and attractive finials provide a stylish finish.

Enhanced Security Storage

The dual entries can be positioned in various ways and are equipped with double-Z framing to enhance strength/ prevent deformation. Concealed security hinges and a hasp & staple plate keep valuable tools secure (lock not included). The absence of windows further boosts security by discouraging unwanted attention. A tall roofline offers ample headroom and expands garden storage options.

The Lean To

The lean to features 2 slatted sides and is constructed using the same materials as the rest of the storage for consistency. Ideal for storing logs, this lean to can serve various outdoor storage needs.

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.
