Description

The Forest 7 x 5 Overlap Apex Garden Shed provides a generous amount of storage for your garden at a price to suit any budget. It is complete with 2 fixed windows, which allow plenty of natural light to enter, and a single door for easy access. These features along with its stylish apex roof, 10 year anti-rot guarantee and FSC approved timber makes it a smart purchase. This wooden shed is also available in a larger 6 x 10 size for those looking for even more storage space.

The Forest 7 x 5 Overlap Apex Garden Shed has a “modular” design. Modular sheds have many advantages. It means that the wall panels of the shed are manufactured in smaller parts, making handling and assembly easier as well as increasing the overall strength of the building. All Forest modular design sheds come as standard with a 14mm boarded floor for additional strength and a stronger roof support design with metal bracing.

Manufactured from square-cut overlap timber, this allows water to run off the building. For safety, the door is built with hidden and secure door hinges, supported by a 'Z' frame structure and complete with a plate hasp and staple latch, to which you can attach your own padlock for security. The windows are made from a strong polycarbonate and are fitted with security screws to add extra protection to items stored inside. The roof is layered with a weatherproof 'black sand' sheet which adds durability, weather protection and nicely finishes the shed's appearance.

Detailed assembly instructions and all the fittings to complete construction are included, so any confident DIYer should have no problem erecting their shed. However, assembly is available if you would like a team of professionals to do this for you quickly and correctly. 

The shed is complete with a 10 year anti-rot guarantee provided it is isolated from ground contact and the manufacturer's care instructions are followed.
