£699.00

The Hartwood Life Expectancy 6′ x 8′ Dual Door Pressure Treated Overlapping Lean-To Apex Shed is sturdy and fortified. It is ideal when you need extra space to store large items like wheelbarrows that benefit from being under a roof without requiring shelter inside the shed. With a depth of 8ft, it provides a necessary Lean To that also serves as a perfect log storage area. The Lean To can be constructed on either side of your Apex Shed to suit your garden layout.

This wooden shed features an enhanced design, featuring completely modular panels. As a result, it arrives in smaller segments but contains more timber, allowing for easier assembly, a more customizable layout, and a notably stronger structure. In general, the Hartwood Life Expectancy series of sheds stands as the best overlap sheds ever produced.

Supported by framing that is 30% thicker than most wooden sheds, this 6×8 shed with lean-to is constructed using straight-cut 7mm boards that overlap for flexibility, enabling the timber to expand and contract naturally throughout different seasons and assisting with rainwater drainage. The pressure treatment applied provides a 25-year anti-rot guarantee to this shed, offering you maintenance-free ownership and eliminating the need for any preservative treatment! A single shed from the Life Expectancy Shed collection will be sufficient!

Instead of the more common OSB (oriented strand board), this backyard storage unit features a solid timber base, accommodating the storage of heavier items. The roof of this apex shed is made of durable 8mm solid sheet, topped with green mineral felt for comprehensive weatherproofing.

The entrances of this 6×8 shed showcase a double-Z frame for added durability and to prevent sagging. Security is enhanced with concealed hinges and a simple yet secure hasp and staple latch ready for a padlock (padlock not included) to secure valuable items. The Shed incorporates shatter-proof PET glazing, which is more secure than conventional glass and does not discolor or deteriorate over time.

Featuring a traditional apex roof, smoothly-planed barge boards, and a diamond-shaped finial, this wooden shed with lean-to will enhance any garden environment. Manufactured in the UK using officially sustainable timber, this garden structure comes with a full set of fittings and clear instructions for an easy assembly. It is recommended to construct the Lean To simultaneously with the shed.

This shed is delivered free to most UK areas using Hartwood Garden’s White Glove Delivery Service, allowing for placement in your desired garden location, with all packaging carefully removed.

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.
