Description
UK made, packed with premium features and backed by a market-leading 25-year guarantee, 4Life™ Sheds are the best range of overlap sheds Forest has ever made. This one is the 8' x 6' Forest 4Life Overlap Pressure Treated Double Door Apex Wooden Shed (2.42m x 1.99m), so provides fabulous garden storage for tools and bikes.
Fully Modular Build with a 4Life™ Guarantee
This garden shed is pressure treated and backed by the longest guarantee on the market, so no further treatment is required, saving you lots of time and money. You'll only ever need one shed with a 4Life™ Shed!
An improved fully modular design means this shed is delivered in smaller sections of interchangeable panels but you get more wood, so it's much easier to assemble and far stronger than other wooden sheds. These interchangeable panels also give you a market-leading choice of door and window positions (please see the floor plan for further details).
The timber used to build this 8x6 shed is FSC® certified, which is the only wood certification scheme endorsed by all the major environmental charities.
Walls, Floor and Roof
Supported by 30% more framing than found on most wooden sheds, the walls are constructed from 7mm overlap cladding. These smart, straight-cut wooden boards allow for the natural movement of the timber over the changing seasons and provide excellent rainwater runoff.
Supported by pressure-treated bearers, the 14mm solid timber floor is 40% thicker than most shed floors! The roof is built from tough 8mm OSB, supported by a metal truss bracket, and comes with a mineral-felt cover to keep the interior completely dry. It has a traditional apex design and offers plenty of headroom. Smooth-planed barge boards and finials perfectly round off the shed's incredibly stylish appearance.
Security Doors and Windows
Ledged and braced doors provide easy access to the shed. They feature hidden security hinges plus a hasp & staple plate to keep your valuable tools secure (padlock not included).
The 2 PET-glazed windows provide plenty of natural light. UV protected to prevent discolouration and fading, they are completely shatterproof and far more secure than conventional glass.
Forest's White Glove Delivery Service
Free delivery is available to most UK addresses using Forest's White Glove Service, who will deliver the shed straight into your garden, with all of its packaging removed. Fixings and instructions are included for a straightforward assembly.
Optional Upgrades
A pressure-treated shed base and professional shed-installation service are both available for you to buy as optional extras.
Forest reserve the right to alter the specifications of their products at any time.

Shed Base Options
Wooden Shed Base Kit
As an alternative to laying slabs or concrete, this shed base is a faster, more cost effective DIY solution.
The wooden shed base consists of a framework that is made from UC4 incised timber which has been pressure treated. The pressure treatment ensures that the framework is robust and is guaranteed to resist rot for an impressive 15 years.
Size of base: 7.5cm (h) x 236cm (w) x 182.6cm (d)
Plastic Shed Base Kit
Quick and simple to install, the 8x6 plastic shed base kit is ideal for avoiding the hassle of laying slabs or concrete when preparing a base for a new shed. Its interlocking design makes it easy to put together and, though lightweight, it provides a very strong and durable base for the shed. Made from 100% recycled plastic, this shed base is eco-friendly. Also, it can be reused if the shed is repositioned. The base allows for ventilation and drainage under the shed, helping to keep the shed floor dry.
To install the base, simply interlock the square grids together and lay onto a firm, level area of ground. We recommend using 15kg of 10mm pea gravel per square (gravel not included). Each square is 500 x 500 x 40mm. This pack contains 20 squares and heavy-duty, commercially-graded weed membrane.
Please be advised that we do not assemble plastic shed bases as part of our installation service. A helpful video of how to install this plastic shed base can be found here. You must prepare the base yourself, in accordance with the supplied instructions, in advance of the installers' visit. Laying the base straight onto grass will not be suitable and the installers will not be able to assemble your garden building.
Why Choose a Forest Overlap 4Life Shed™?
You'll only ever need one shed with a 4Life Shed™.
Forest Garden are proud to introduce their latest innovation: The 4Life Shed™.
You can configure a shed that suits you and your garden. All boast a solid timber floor, 30% more framing and are easier to build.
Why you needa Forest Overlap Pressure Treated 4Life Shed™?
If you're looking to purchase a new shed and can afford a slightly higher initial spend, buying a pressure treated shed will save you a lot of time and money in the long term. 4Life Sheds are completely maintenance free - there is no need to ever apply treatment. Most other sheds require treatment once built - then yearly treatment thereafter.
Forest branded pressure treated sheds have a number of features to ensure maximum durability and strength including solid boarded wooden floors, security door hinges, extra framing and so much more.
1. Metal Roof Truss Brackets
Larger apex models feature a metal truss bracket that adds strength to the roof and ensures best alignment.
2. High Quality Roof
The roof is made from 8mm OSB and is covered in a durable weatherproof felt. Reflecting the high quality of this shed, the roof is finished with smooth planed barge boards and a decorative finial.
3. Increased Security Windows
Our windows are glazed with shatterproof PET glazing, made from recycled materials, which will not yellow or become brittle over time. PET is more robust than the styrene used in standard sheds.
4. Pressure Treated Fully Modular Panels
Pressure treatment forces preservative deep inside the timber. The result is long-lasting protection against rot and fungal decay. There is no need to re-treat EVER, saving an estimated £200 in time and treatment costs compared to dip treated sheds. Fully modular construction - same size panels are interchangeable. You can choose the window and door placement to suit your garden allowing flexibility for your garden design.
5. Thick Timber Framing & Overlap Cladding
The design of our sheds feature more extenisve framing than standard sheds (30% more framing). This results in a more robust build. 7mm straight edge overlap cladding provides consistency and strength as well as providing the traditional style we all know and love. The high-quality cladding means the panels are less likely to warp or develop gaps.
6. Hidden Hinges
Our doors are fitted with hidden security hinges, the hidden hinges cannot be tampered with from the outside.
7. Robust Doors with Double Z Framing
Our doors feature double Z bracing for extra strength, security and to prevent the doors dropping. This is superior to the basic ledge bracing on standard sheds.
8. Secure Door Latch Plate Fastened
The doors are fitted with a hasp and staple closure, ready for you to add a padlock (padlock not included).
9. Solid Wooden Floor
Strong 14mm pressure-treated boarded timber floor. This wooden floor is built to withstand storage of heavier items as well as years of footfall. The floor is further strengthened by pressure treated bearers. A timber floor is far superior to the OSB that comes with standard sheds.
Highly Adaptable
Modular
Construction
Fully modular panels mean that the same size panels are interchangeable.
You choose the window and door placement that suits your garden.
Modular panels are easier to handle - meaning sheds are quicker and simpler to build.
Flexible Window Panels
Window panels can be interchanged with other panels of the same size and can be placed on either side of the shed - you can choose the window placement to suit your garden allowing flexibility for your garden design. See the example of the 8x6 Apex Shed above. The Apex Shed can also be turned into a Reverse Apex Shed.
Flexible Door Positions
Doors can be fitted in different ways to suit your needs. Single doors can also be hung to be left- or right-hand opening.
COMES WITH A 25 YEAR ANTI-ROT GUARANTEE.
PRESSURE TREATMENT. NO NEED FOR ANNUAL RE TREATMENT.
SMALLER SECTIONS MAKE TRANSPORTATION AND HANDLING EASY.
QUICK AND EASY CONSTRUCTION.
Pressure Treatment Process Explained
The Pressure Treatment process for timber has been applied to products for a number of years; the key benefit of this process is that the preservative is forced under vacuum pressure right deep into the heart of the wood and the grain structure. The preservative becomes an integral part of the wood; giving a long life and protection against rot.
This process also means that you never have to apply preservatives to your garden shed, and it allows the natural colours of the timber to show through and so your shed blends easily within your garden. Surprisingly, our Pressure Treated Sheds are only slightly more expensive than Dip Treated Sheds.
VACUUM
Timber is loaded into chamber and a vacuum empties timber cells of air.
FLOODED
Cylinder is flooded under vacuum with preservative.
PRESSURE
Preservative is forced deep into timber using hydraulic pressure.
VACUUM
Another vacuum extracts excess preservative.
DRY
Timber draws in surface excess of preservative under low pressure, then is left to dry.
NO NEED TO RE-TREAT - SAVING YOU TIME AND MONEY!
