£519.00

Redlands’ line of modular apex sheds provides a unique and adaptable choice for positioning doors and windows. The shed features panels that can be arranged on any side and in any manner to create a customized layout. The door is reversible, allowing it to be right or left hinged, and includes a sturdy mortice lock and key for enhanced security. With high eaves, the shed offers ample headroom, eliminating the need to bend. Raised on floor joists, the shed is protected on all sides to prevent intruders or pests from accessing underneath. The 4′ x 8′ Double Door Windowless Shiplap Modular Apex Shed variant is designed without windows to conceal gardening equipment and deter potential thefts. Crafted from sturdy 12mm shiplap timber treated with red cedar water-based solution for protection, the shed features a roof and floor made of durable 12mm tongue & groove boards with added mineral felt for weatherproofing. The shed is finished with bargeboards and corner strips, enhancing its aesthetic appeal. All timber used is certified to be sustainably sourced. This product includes a 10-year guarantee covering general timber decay, but not issues such as warping or splits that may occur naturally. Assembling the shed on a level, durable base is essential, as is treating it with a high-quality preservative post-assembly and annually thereafter.

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.
