Woods 4Life™ Pressure Cured Outbuildings are the finest selection of overlapping outbuildings Forest has ever produced. Presented in a range of formats and dimensions, they are all expertly formulated and constructed in the United Kingdom. This particular one is the 8×6 Window-Free Dual Entry Apex Outbuilding (2.42m x 1.99m), making it perfect for secure external storage in a wide range of garden sizes.

Pressure-Treated Timber with a 4Life™ Guarantee
This timber outbuilding is pressure treated to resist decay and supported by an exceptional 25-year anti-rot assurance, marking it as the lengthiest guarantee available. The timber will never require re-treating, saving both time and money. With a 4Life™ Outbuilding, you’ll only need one!

Completely Modular Layout
Now outfitted with an improved entirely modular composition, this garden outbuilding is transported in smaller fragments of interchangeable panels, simplifying its assembly in comparison to most timber outbuildings. This modular structure also permits an industry-leading assortment of door configurations, enabling customization to meet precise needs. Additionally, with 30% more framing than typical timber outbuildings, this 8×6 outbuilding is not just simple to set up and adaptable but also exceptionally durable.

Walls, Base, and Roof
The walls are fabricated from 7mm overlap cladding, ensuring efficient rainwater runoff and enabling the timber to naturally adjust over various seasons. Differing from the majority of other overlap outbuildings, the boards have straight cuts, lending them a substantially more refined appearance.

Crafted from 14mm sturdy timber, the base is 40% thicker than standard outbuilding flooring and features pressure-treated bearers to afford added guard against ground moisture.

The roof consists of 8mm solid sheet, strengthened by a metal truss bracket and equipped with a premium mineral-felt cover for comprehensive weather-proofing. Its apex layout, smoothly planed barge boards, and appealing finials provide the concluding accents to an extremely stylish facade.

A Security-Enhanced Outbuilding
The dual doors can be situated in varied orientations and feature double-Z framing for extra strength/to prevent deformation. Concealed security hinges and a hasp & staple plate maintain valuable tools safe (padlock not supplied). The window-free design enhances security by discouraging unwelcome attention. A high roofline yields ample headspace and boosts garden storage choices.

Outbuilding Base Alternatives
Timber Outbuilding Base Kit – As an alternative to laying slabs or concrete, this outbuilding base is a speedier, more cost-efficient DIY resolution. The timber outbuilding base comprises a framework created from UC4 incised timber, which has been pressure treated. The pressure treatment confirms that the framework is durable and is guaranteed to withstand rot for an impressive 15 years. Size of base: 7.5cm (h) x 236cm (w) x 182.6cm (d)

Plastic Outbuilding Base Kit – Quick and simple to install, the 8×6 plastic outbuilding base kit is ideal for sidestepping the inconvenience of laying slabs or concrete when preparing a base for a new outbuilding. Its interlocking design makes assembly a breeze, and despite its lightness, it provides a very robust and enduring base for the outbuilding. Crafted from 100% recycled plastic, this outbuilding base is environmentally friendly. Furthermore, it can be reused if the outbuilding is relocated. The base permits ventilation and drainage beneath the outbuilding, aiding in keeping the outbuilding floor dry. To install the base, merely interlock the square grids and lay them on a firm, level ground. We suggest using 15kg of 10mm pea gravel per square (gravel not supplied). Each square is 500 x 500 x 40mm. This pack comprises 20 squares and heavy-duty, commercially-graded weed membrane. Please note that we do not assemble plastic outbuilding bases as part of our installation service. A helpful video demonstrating how to install this plastic outbuilding base can be found here. You must prepare the base accordingly, following the provided instructions, before the installers’ visit. Placing the base directly on grass won’t be suitable, and the installers won’t 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.
