Forest 4LIFE Apex Shed 5x7 Single Door - 2 Windows - With Lean-To
The Forest 4LIFE Apex Shed 5x7 with Lean-To, Single Door and 2 Windows is a practical and versatile garden storage solution that combines a spacious timber shed with an integrated covered lean-to. Ideal for storing garden tools, lawnmowers, bicycles and outdoor equipment, the lean-to provides additional sheltered space for larger items such as wheelbarrows, logs, bins or ladders that don't need to be kept inside the shed.
Designed with flexibility in mind, the lean-to can be installed on either the left or right-hand side of the shed to best suit your garden layout. As part of Forest Garden's premium 4LIFE range, this model features fully modular panels, making transportation easier, assembly quicker and the overall structure stronger.
Built for Long-Lasting Strength
The shed is constructed using traditional 7mm straight-cut overlap timber boards, allowing the timber to naturally expand and contract throughout the seasons while encouraging rainwater to drain away efficiently.
Supported by framing that is approximately 30% thicker than many standard overlap sheds, the structure offers excellent rigidity and durability. The timber is pressure treated to protect against rot and fungal decay, allowing Forest Garden to provide an impressive 25 Year Anti-Rot Guarantee. Best of all, the shed never requires annual preservative treatment.
Heavy-Duty Floor and Weatherproof Roof
Unlike many garden sheds that use OSB flooring, this model features a strong 12mm solid timber floor, making it ideal for storing heavier equipment, shelving units, lawnmowers and power tools.
The roof is constructed from durable 8mm solid sheet boarding and finished with a weatherproof green mineral felt covering, providing reliable protection against the elements all year round.
Practical Features with Enhanced Security
The reinforced single door incorporates a robust double Z-frame, helping prevent movement over time while improving overall strength. The door can be installed with either a left or right-hand opening, allowing you to configure the shed to suit your available space.
The two shatterproof PET glazed windows allow natural light into the shed, creating a brighter interior without compromising durability. Unlike traditional plastic glazing, PET won't yellow, fade or become brittle over time.

Can I choose which side the lean-to is installed on?
Yes. The lean-to can be assembled on either the left or right-hand side of the shed, allowing you to configure it to best suit your garden layout.
