Description

The 10x10 Forest 4Life Reverse Apex Shed offers a vast, secure, and durable space for your garden. It is an excellent value solution for creating a large workshop or simply storing bulky garden equipment. This shed is part of the improved 4Life range, which features a fully modular design for easier assembly, a stronger build, and more versatile configuration.

Built to last, this shed boasts 30% thicker framing than most standard sheds. The walls are constructed from 7mm straight-cut overlap boards, providing a contemporary look compared to wacky overlap boards. This traditional method allows the timber to move naturally with the seasons, reducing the likelihood of warping, while effectively aiding rainwater run-off to keep the contents dry.

Unlike sheds with weaker OSB, this building features a solid timber floor capable of supporting heavier items like workbenches, shelving, or machinery. The 8mm solid sheet roof is covered with a weatherproof black sand felt. Security is enhanced by strong double doors reinforced with double-Z framing, fitted with hidden hinges, and secured with a padlock-ready hasp and staple latch.

Pressure-Treated Wood with a 4Life™ Guarantee – Built to Last and Minimise Maintenance:

This 4Life shed has been pressure-treated, forcing preservatives deep into the timber grain for complete protection against rot. This superior treatment is backed by an unbeatable 25-year anti-rot guarantee, the longest on the market. The treatment may leave a greenish tinge on the wood; this is normal and will grey over time.

The shed is completely maintenance-free, meaning it will never require retreating with a preservative, EVER. With a 4Life™ Shed, you save an estimated £200 in time and treatment costs, compared to dip-treated sheds. 

The manufacturer advises that if you want to paint your timber shed with a different colour, ensure the treatment you choose is recommended for pressure-treated timber.

Fully Modular Design

This shed features an improved, fully modular design, allowing full interchangeability between panels of the same size. It is delivered in smaller, easier-to-handle sections that make assembly more straightforward. This design uses more timber, resulting in a significantly more robust final build and greater flexibility in how you configure the shed.

Walls, Floor, and Roof

The walls are constructed from traditional 7mm straight-cut overlap boards, which allow for natural timber movement and aid water run-off. This cladding is supported by a robust frame 30% thicker than standard sheds. The floor is made from solid timber, a significant upgrade from OSB, making it strong enough for heavy items. The 8mm solid sheet roof is finished with a weatherproof black sand felt cover for complete protection.

White Glove Delivery Service

This shed is delivered using Forest's premium White Glove Delivery Service. The specialist team will deliver the components directly to your chosen spot in the garden, saving you the effort of heavy lifting. As part of this service, they will also remove and take away all packaging, leaving your garden tidy and ready for assembly.

Optional Upgrades:

Professional Installation:

This wooden shed is supplied flat-packed for self-assembly. For ultimate convenience, you can choose our professional installation service.

Once your order is placed, the manufacturer’s installation team will send a short pre-installation questionnaire. This simple check confirms that your site is suitably flat and level, ensuring the installation day runs smoothly.

If your foundation is prepared and access is clear, the expert installers will handle the complete build. Please note that the installation team cannot dismantle or remove old buildings.

Whether you build the shed yourself or use our service, please ensure a 24-inch (60cm) clearance is left around the entire structure. This space is essential for both the assembly process and any future maintenance.

Wooden Shed Base Kit

A solid, level base is vital for the longevity of your shed. All Forest Sheds have a floor included as standard. This optional wooden shed base kit does not replace the included floor but fixes to it to provide support and help create a level surface. The base kit provides a fast, cost-effective, and simple DIY solution, an excellent alternative to laying concrete or paving slabs. The kit consists of a robust framework made from UC4 incised timber, which has been pressure-treated to the highest standard for permanent ground contact.
