Description
How does the overlap cladding protect my garden equipment?
The 7mm Overlap cladding on this 6 x 4 shed helps resist rainwater by allowing it to run off the sides efficiently. Constructed from sustainable timber made in the UK, these walls provide a smooth finish that defends against standard weather conditions. The entire structure is reinforced by sturdy 34mm x 34mm framing, ensuring structural stability throughout the seasons. The timber is dip treated, requiring the application of a preservative and waterproof coat upon installation to maintain its protective qualities.
What are the benefits of the OSB floor and roof?
The 9mm OSB floor inside this 6 x 4 shed provides a strong base that easily supports the weight of your garden tools. Meanwhile, the 8mm OSB roof features an apex roof design, which increases internal headroom and helps resist water pooling by directing rain away from the centre. This combination of materials provides a highly functional interior environment for daily use.
Is the shed designed for easy access and natural light?
A standard single door with a Z framed interior on this 6 x 4 shed allows straightforward access to your stored belongings. Natural light is provided by one window constructed from 3mm Toughened Glass, which gives a clear view while being more resilient than standard horticultural glass. For security, the single door is fitted with a hasp & staple lock, ready for you to attach a suitable padlock.

Guarantee
Every shed is supplied with a standard 10-year anti-rot guarantee and a 12-month manufacturer's warranty, giving you long-term confidence in your purchase.
Treatment – Dip-Treated Base Coat
This garden building is supplied with a water-based golden brown dip-treated base coat, designed to provide short-term protection during transport and installation. The base coat is ready for you to apply your own high-quality timber preservative after installation.
Important: This dip treatment is a preparatory base coat only. We recommend applying a suitable timber preservative immediately after assembly and annually thereafter to maintain protection and validate the manufacturer’s guarantee.
Professional Installation
This wooden shed is supplied flat-packed for self-assembly. For ultimate convenience, you can select our professional installation service. Once your order is placed, the manufacturer’s team will send a pre-installation questionnaire to confirm that your site is suitably flat and level, and that access is clear. 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 18-inch (46cm) clearance is left around the entire structure for assembly and maintenance.
Wooden Shed Base Kit
A solid, level base is vital for the longevity of your shed. While this shed includes a floor, the optional base kit attaches to it to provide essential support and help create a level surface. It offers a fast and simple DIY alternative to laying concrete or paving slabs. The kit consists of a robust framework made from pressure-treated to the highest standard for permanent ground contact with levelling ground spikes.

Make the Most of Your Garden Shed
Tool and Equipment Storage: This 6 x 4 footprint is ideal for keeping everyday gardening implements secure and dry. The 9mm OSB floor handles the wear of spades, forks, and lightweight lawnmowers, keeping your primary tools within easy reach while defending against ground moisture.
Potting and Preparation Station: Take advantage of the natural light from the one window by setting up a small workbench inside. The apex roof provides enough overhead space to stand comfortably, making it a highly practical environment for preparing seeds or repotting small plants during early spring.

Upon Delivery
Delivery is made by Shire the manufacturer. Delivery of this item is typically made by a 17 ton flat-bed (similar size to a council refuse lorry). Delivery is typically between 7am and 7pm. The delivery drivers are only insured to deliver to kerb side or driveway. We would not risk damaging your property whilst delivering a product. Unfortunately we will not be able to go through your property. Deliveries are hand-balled off by the driver.
We would recommend against arranging for a third party to install the building before it's been delivered and checked that all parts are present, as we cannot be held liable for any third-party costs.
Installation option
If you are choosing the installation option after placing your order you’ll be contacted within 5 working days by Shire the manufacturer either by a text message or automated telephone message (the latter if a mobile number is not supplied). This message will supply you with the name of the website to go on to where you will be required to accept the terms and conditions for assembly. Any delay in accepting these terms and conditions may affect your timescale. Once you have accepted these terms and conditions you will be contacted during the timescale with a date for the delivery/assembly of your order. The installation option will extend your lead time by up to 15-25 working days. This may take longer during seasonal periods. Please be aware that the installation team will require full access to your garden, 18' clearance all around the building and a firm and level base. Shire's installation team will not bring a building through your home as they are not covered by insurance to enter a customer’s home.
