The 8'x6' Forest Overlap Dip Treated Reverse Apex Wooden Shed includes an intelligent modular design, so is easier to assemble, more robust and versatile than other garden sheds.
This garden shed is part of a comprehensive range of sheds, expertly designed and built by one of the UK's leading shed manufacturers. Its intelligent modular design means it is delivered in smaller sections, making it far easier to assemble than other wooden sheds. This modular design also results in more extensive 28mm shed framing, ensuring an incredibly robust structure and far greater resistance to warping.
The shed walls are constructed from 7mm overlap cladding, which allows the natural movement of the timber throughout the changing seasons and aids efficient rainwater run-off. Wherever the panels join together, cover strips are used to ensure the structure remains completely weathertight.
A 14mm pressure-treated solid timber floor with bearers not only provides a long-lasting, effective barrier against ground moisture, it allows for the storage of heavier tools and machinery too. The 8mm OSB reverse apex roof features a sturdy metal truss bracket, for extra strength, and comes with a black sand felt covering to keep out the rain.
Access to the shed is gained via a single door, which can be hung with a left or right-hand opening, to suit the garden's orientation, and includes double-Z framing to prevent the door from dropping. Tamper-proof hidden hinges and a hasp and staple plate, designed for a padlock (padlock not included), help keep stored items safe.
Once inside, high eaves offer plenty of headroom and make it easy to store taller items, while 2 PET-glazed windows allow plenty of natural light. These windows are made from recycled materials, virtually shatterproof and will never discolour or become brittle. They can be fitted either side of the shed to suit its position in the garden.
All of the timber is FSC®-certified, which is the only wood certification scheme endorsed by the major environmental charities. Not only robust, weatherproof and ethical, this garden shed's traditional design makes for an incredibly attractive appearance.
Fixtures, fittings and clear instructions are included for a simple assembly.
This wooden shed is supplied dip-treated and should be coated in a quality wood preservative, annually, in order to maintain its handsome appearance and validate the excellent 10-year anti-rot guarantee.
