Forest is Britain’s leading manufacturer of wooden garden sheds, and we are the Number 1 retailer of their products. Therefore, earlier this week, it came as no surprise that we were the first company to showcase their entire range of brand-new Beckwood sheds.

This close relationship with Forest also gave us a very early insight into the finer details of the Beckwood brand, putting us in a unique position to provide a comprehensive review of it, well before our competitors got the chance.

So, in what journalists call an exclusive, here’s what we discovered…

What Makes Beckwood Sheds Special?

A shed is just somewhere to store your spades and other garden tools, right? Wrong. Forest’s Beckwood range of sheds offers you so much more than just plain, old garden storage.

Maintenance Freedom with a 25-Year Guarantee

With a 25-year guarantee as standard, and no further treatment required, a Forest Beckwood shed gives you complete maintenance freedom.

The first thing that caught our eye is that this range of wooden sheds comes with a 25-year anti-rot guarantee as standard, which is the longest guarantee on the market.

Thanks to Forest’s rigorous pressure treatment process, you’ll never need to coat a Beckwood shed in preservative, sparing you the inconvenience of costly, time-consuming retreatments, and giving you complete maintenance freedom.

A Robust Shed Boasting Weather-Beating Performance

Robust, durable and supremely weathertight, Forest Beckwood sheds will protect your stored items come rain or shine, year after year.

Beckwood sheds are expertly made from pressure-treated tongue & groove shiplap cladding, on a strapping 28 x 56mm frame, so are certainly built to last.

These tightly interlocking shiplap boards also ensure the shed remains completely weathertight, while their scalloped profile provides efficient rainwater runoff.

What’s more, strength and weathertightness are key attributes of the floor and roof too.

The former is built from premium 12mm tongue & groove, so will easily accommodate your heavier items and cope with regular footfall. It is fitted with pressure-treated bearers, which improve air circulation underneath the shed and act as a further layer of protection against rot-causing ground moisture.

The roof, meanwhile, is constructed from tough OSB and comes with a top-quality mineral-felt cover for complete weatherproof protection. Larger apex models also feature a metal truss bracket, providing even greater structural support in this key area.

A Completely Modular Shed

A Forest Beckwood shed has a completely modular design, giving you an unprecedented choice of door and window placements.

Modular sheds are delivered in smaller sections of interchangeable panels but you get more overall wood, making them much easier to assemble and far stronger than other wooden sheds. As the panels are interchangeable, this also allows you an element of choice when it comes to the door and window placements.

The beauty of Beckwood sheds is that they don’t just have a degree of modularity, they boast a completely  modular design. Not only does this make them easier to assemble and stronger than almost any other range of wooden sheds, it offers an unbeatable choice of door and window positions too, allowing you to customise the shed to your exact requirements.

High-Security Sheds

Bump up your shed security to give your valuable tools and equipment the protection they deserve, with a brand-new Forest Beckwood shed.

If you’re storing expensive tools, bikes and other outdoor equipment, you’ll want a shed that keeps them safe. Once again, Beckwood sheds fit the bill perfectly.

Firstly, the doors are ledged and braced, so they’re exceptionally strong and will retain their shape and position over the course of time.

Secondly, they’re fitted with hidden security hinges, preventing thieves from tampering with them from the outside.

And thirdly, they include a pad bolt, allowing you to add your own padlock for complete peace of mind that your valuable items are safe.

Beckwood shed windows are equally secure. Made from acrylic, they are exceptionally tough and completely shatterproof. What’s more, as they’re UV protected, they will remain crystal clear and neither fade nor discolour in the sun.

Ethical Sheds

If you need a new shed and value the world around you, your go-to brand should be Forest Beckwood.

Environmental impact is becoming an increasingly important factor in many people’s decision making processes, and buying a new garden shed is no exception.

Forest completely gets this point, which is why they’re proud to be a Carbon Neutral Business.

And as part of this commitment, their entire range of brand-new Beckwood sheds is built in Great Britain, using FSC®-certified British wood.

The FSC® mark shows that the wood is sourced from sustainable, well-managed forests, while the reliance on local raw materials and manufacturing reduces transport use and keeps the sheds’ carbon footprint down to a minimum.
