Brands of wooden sheds sometimes have quite imaginative names, dreamed up by the manufacturer’s marketing guys to represent the sheds’ most desirable qualities. As it’s our business to sell garden sheds, we view these brand names with considerable interest, and one in particular has really caught our eye: Forest’s 4Life™ range of sheds.
Okay, so 4Life™ might not conjure up exciting images of superhuman strength like a Gladiator Shed, of flamboyant style like an Artisan, or upmarket sophistication like a Timberdale, but that’s because it doesn’t really need to. Instead, Forest has kept the brand name simple by clearly and concisely summing up this superb range of wooden sheds’ unique selling point, without leaving anything to the imagination.
That unique selling point is, of course, the sheds’ exceptional longevity – something that sets them apart from other wooden sheds. As Forest will happily tell you…
You’ll only ever need one shed with a 4Life™ Shed!
Does a 4Life™ Wooden Shed Really Last for Life?
Saying that a shed lasts for life is quite a statement, even coming from the nation’s leading manufacturer of wooden sheds. So, let’s dig a little deeper and see whether Forest can back up their bold claim.
The 4Life™ Shed Guarantee
Wooden sheds can be prone to rot, particularly in the damp British climate, so it’s always a good idea to buy one with a long anti-rot guarantee.
As a general rule of thumb, ‘long’ has traditionally meant between 10 and 15 years, but Forest has now set the bar far, far higher by offering an extraordinary 25-year anti-rot guarantee on all 4Life™ Sheds.
For wooden sheds, this is by far the longest guarantee on the market.
4Life™ Shed Treatment
Sheds with long guarantees will have been treated against rot, and these guarantees are often dependent on the customer retreating the wood with a high-quality preservative to maintain effective levels of protection.
Although it’s in the customers’ interests to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines on retreatment, let’s be honest, it can be a costly and time-consuming process.
Once again, 4Life™ Sheds break the mould.
Thanks to a superior pressure-treatment process, a 4Life™ Shed will never need retreating, saving you time, money, and giving you complete maintenance freedom.
A Modular Design for A Stronger Shed
The beauty of a 4Life™ Shed’s smart modular design is that the shed is delivered to you in smaller sections of interchangeable panels, but you get more wood.
This makes 4Life™ Sheds easier to assemble than other wooden sheds and gives you far greater flexibility when choosing door and window placements.
It also results in 30% more framing than found on standard wooden sheds, so you’re not just getting a shed that’s easier to assemble and more versatile, you’re getting a far stronger one too.
In fact, you’re getting a shed that is built 4Life™.
Superior Craftsmanship Means a Longer Lifespan
Forest 4Life™ Sheds aren’t mass produced in a far-flung foreign factory, they’re beautifully handcrafted here, in Great Britain.
The walls are made from top-quality overlap cladding, which allows for the natural movement of the timber over the changing seasons. 4Life™ Sheds work with nature, not against it, which is another reason why they last so long.
The floors are built from 14mm solid wood, which is an incredible 40% thicker than standard shed flooring! Pressure-treated bearers provide yet another layer of protection against rot-causing ground moisture.
And there’s no need to worry about the roofs bringing a premature end to these sheds’ lifespan, either. Built from tough OSB, they feature premium mineral felt covers for complete weatherproof protection. Larger apex models are even reinforced by metal truss brackets!
Exceptional Shed Security
If you’ve got a secure shed, it’s less likely to be targeted and damaged by thieves. What’s more, you won’t need to think about upgrading it if you buy more expensive tools or bikes.
As a 4Life™ Shed is a stronger, longer-lasting shed, built from more wood than usual, it’s obviously going to be more difficult for thieves to compromise. That said, Forest has very much taken a ‘belt and braces’ approach to the issue of shed security.
Firstly, these wooden sheds also feature shatterproof glazing, so there’s no need to worry about the windows presenting a vulnerable spot. And, as this glazing is UV protected, it will neither fade nor discolour in the sun. It will remain looking pristine 4Life™.
Secondly, all 4Life™ Sheds come with ledged and braced security doors, fitted with hidden hinges and a hasp and staple plate. You supply the padlock and a Forest 4Life™ Shed will give you complete peace of mind that your valuable tools are safe…4Life™.
