Description

If you want to buy a Great British shed that offers more than just plain, old garden storage, choose a Forest Beckwood 25yr Guarantee Shiplap Pressure Treated Shed. A weather beating home for your tools, bicycles, fishing tackle and more, this particular model is the 8x6 Double Door Apex Shed (2.42m x 1.99m), and here's what makes it special...

Modular Design, Pressure-Treated Wood and the Longest Guarantee on the Market

This garden shed is expertly designed and built by Britain's leading manufacturer of wooden sheds. Pressure treated and supplied with an extraordinary 25-year anti-rot guarantee, which is the longest guarantee on the market, the wood will never need retreating against rot, sparing you the inconvenience of costly, time-consuming maintenance and providing you with an unbeatably durable shed.

Featuring a complete modular design, this garden shed is delivered to you in smaller sections of interchangeable panels, so you'll find it much easier to assemble than other wooden sheds. This modular design also allows you flexibility with door and window placements, helping you customise the shed to your exact requirements. What's more, with 30% thicker framing, this garden shed isn't just easier to assemble and more versatile than other wooden sheds, it's far stronger too.

A Robust, Weathertight and Supremely Stylish Shed

The walls are constructed from 12mm shiplap tongue and groove cladding, on a 28 x 56mm frame, making for a robust and durable garden building. The tightly-interlocking boards ensure the shed remains completely weathertight, while shiplap's scalloped profile provides excellent rainwater runoff.

Expertly made from premium 12mm tongue and groove, the floor is perfectly equipped to accommodate your heavier items and cope with regular footfall. It is supported by pressure-treated bearers, providing a further layer of protection against rot-causing ground moisture.

Reinforced by a metal truss bracket, the roof is built from tough 8mm OSB and fitted with a green mineral-felt cover for complete weatherproof protection. It comes with a traditional apex design, barge boards and eye-catching finials. The wood's smooth-planed finish perfectly rounds off the shed's timelessly attractive appearance.

Security Doors and Shatterproof Glazing

You can access this shed via wide double doors, which can be installed in different positions to suit the orientation of your garden. Ledged and braced for extra strength and to prevent dropping/ movement, these doors are fitted with hidden security hinges and a pad bolt to give you peace of mind that your valuable tools are safe (padlock not included).

Once inside, you'll find the high roofline allows plenty of headroom, along with the chance to store taller items. The 2 3mm acrylic windows provide plenty of natural light - perfect if you're storing important equipment or working on DIY projects. These windows are completely shatterproof and will neither discolour nor fade over time. You can install them in a variety of positions - again, the choice is yours.

Ethically Sourced and Locally Built for a Brighter Future

This 8x6 shed is handcrafted in Great Britain from FSC® certified British wood, so the timber is sourced from sustainable, well-managed forests and the manufacturing process's environmental impact is kept to a minimum.

Forest's White Glove Delivery Service

Free delivery is available to most UK postcodes using Forest's White Glove Service. This means the shed is delivered straight into your garden, with all of the product packaging removed. This shiplap shed comes with a full set of fixings and clear instructions to help you achieve a straightforward assembly.

Optional Upgrades

If you'd rather the professionals assemble the shed for you, we offer a competitively-priced installation service as an optional upgrade. You can purchase a pressure-treated shed base as an optional extra too.

Shed Base Options

Wooden Shed Base

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

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. You must prepare the base yourself in advance of the installers' visit.

Supplied with a market-leading 25-year anti-rot guarantee as standard, Beckwood Sheds are robust, durable and packed full of premium features. Their tight, interlocking shiplap tongue & groove construction forms an unbeatable weatherproof seal and makes for an exceptionally attractive appearance.

 

 

Why you need a Forest Beckwood Shiplap Shed?

 

If you want to buy a Great British shed that offers more than just plain, old garden storage, choose a Forest Beckwood Shed. Supplied with a market-leading 25-year anti-rot guarantee as standard, Forest Beckwood Sheds are robust and durable, offering weather beating performance.  The tightly-interlocking boards ensure the shed remains completely weathertight, while shiplap’s scalloped profile provides excellent rainwater runoff.

 

1. Weather Beating 12mm Shiplap Tongue & Groove Construction

Beckwood sheds are built from interlocking 12mm shiplap tongue & groove boards, which are robust, durable and supremely weathertight. The tightly-interlocking boards ensure the shed remains completely weathertight, while shiplap’s scalloped profile provides excellent rainwater runoff. 

2. Metal Roof Truss Brackets

Larger apex models feature a metal roof truss bracket, which adds strength to the roof and ensures best alignment (not available on sizes below 7x7).

3. High Quality Roof with Durable High Grade Felt

The Beckwood shed range roofs are built from tough 8mm OSB and fitted with a mineral-felt cover for complete weatherproof protection. Don’t underestimate the importance of a high-quality roof as it is your shed’s first line of defence against the elements.

4. Increased Security Windows

The windows are made from acrylic glazing and provide an abundance of natural light. These windows are completely shatterproof and will neither discolour nor fade over time. You can install them in a variety of positions -  the choice is yours.

5. Pressure Treated Fully Interchangeable Modular Construction

Pressure treated and supplied with an extraordinary 25-year anti-rot guarantee, which is the longest guarantee on the market, the wood will never need retreating against rot, sparing you the inconvenience of costly, time-consuming maintenance and providing you with an unbeatably durable shed. Featuring a complete modular design, these workshops are delivered to you in smaller sections of interchangeable panels, so you'll find them much easier to assemble than other wooden sheds. This modular design also allows you flexibility with door and window placements, helping you customise the shed to your exact requirements.

6. Thicker Timber Framing for Increased Stength

These sheds come with a 28mm x 56mm frame, which is 30% thicker than most wooden sheds. This extra framing ensures even greater strength and stability. These garden sheds aren't just easier to assemble and more versatile than other wooden sheds, they're far stronger too.

7. Hidden Security Hinges

Beckwood doors are fitted with hidden security hinges, which cannot be tampered with from the outside.

8. Robust Doors with Double Z Framing

Far stronger and more secure than those found on other wooden sheds, Forest Beckwood Shed doors are reinforced with sturdy double-Z framing. This prevents them from warping, sagging or dropping. 

9. Secure Heavy Duty Pad Bolt

The doors are also fitted with a secure heavy duty traditional pad bolt (padlock not included).

10. Sturdy Interlocking Tongue and Groove Boarded Floor

The robust and stable 12mm tongue and groove floor is elevated by pressure-treated joists for extra protection from ground moisture. Due to its thickness, a tongue and groove floor improves the shed’s level of insulation and will neither buckle under the weight of heavier items nor regular footfall.

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!

Making British Gardens Great

 

At Forest, we know a fair bit about fences. And sheds for that matter. In fact, we've been one of the UK's most trusted manufacturer and distributor of quality wooden garden products for over 50 years.

 

With two sawmills in the UK processing locally-sourced timber, and a Head Office in Hartlebury, Worcestershire, you’ll find our range of garden buildings, fencing, decking and decorative structures for sale across many sites online and in over 3,000 retail stores. From the forest to the doorstep, we are involved every step of the way to ensure we bring you the best product and service.

 

Well made in Britain

 

The majority of the timber we use is grown and felled from managed UK forests across Scotland and Wales. After felling, the timber is cut and processed in one of our nearby sawmills and taken to our manufacturing operation in the heart of Britain. It is here our skilled workforce proudly produce the widest range of garden buildings, fencing and structures available in the UK.

 

All of the products that we sell are dispatched from this site. The final part of their journey is managed by our dedicated delivery department who are responsible for distribution direct to customers' homes by our fleet of vehicles.

 

Home Grown

 

We're proud to say that the majority of the timber we use is cut in our very own sawmill from trees grown in the UK.

 

Not only that, but our range is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council and the majority of our products carry the FSC logo - so you know that our timber is ethically sourced from well-managed, sustainable forests that are replanted for future generations.
