Forest 4LIFE Apex Shed 5x7 Single Door - No Windows - With Lean-To
The Forest 4LIFE Apex Shed 5x7 with Lean-To, Single Door and No Windows is a secure and highly practical garden storage solution that combines a spacious timber shed with a useful covered lean-to. Ideal for storing garden tools, lawnmowers, bicycles and outdoor equipment, the enclosed shed keeps your valuables protected, while the lean-to offers additional sheltered storage for larger items such as wheelbarrows, logs, bins and ladders.
The integrated lean-to can be installed on either the left or right-hand side of the shed, allowing you to customise the layout to suit your garden. As part of Forest Garden's premium 4LIFE range, this model features an improved modular construction that makes assembly easier while creating a stronger and more durable building.
Built for Strength and Long-Term Durability
The shed is constructed using traditional 7mm straight-cut overlap timber boards, allowing the timber to naturally expand and contract throughout the seasons while helping rainwater run away efficiently.
The framing is approximately 30% thicker than many standard overlap sheds, providing exceptional strength and stability. Pressure-treated timber protects the building against rot and fungal decay, allowing Forest Garden to offer a market-leading 25 Year Anti-Rot Guarantee. Even better, no annual preservative treatment is required, making maintenance simple.
Heavy-Duty Floor and Weatherproof Roof
Unlike many standard garden sheds fitted with OSB flooring, this model features a strong 12mm solid timber floor. It's designed to support heavier equipment, including lawnmowers, shelving units, power tools and garden machinery.
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 throughout the year.
Maximum Security with Flexible Installation
The windowless design offers enhanced privacy and security by keeping valuable equipment completely hidden from view. The reinforced single door features a robust double Z-frame, helping prevent movement over time while increasing strength and durability.
Both the door and the lean-to are designed with flexibility in mind. The door can be installed with either a left or right-hand opening, while the lean-to can be positioned on either side of the shed to suit your outdoor space.

The integrated lean-to provides additional sheltered storage that's ideal for logs, wheelbarrows, bins, ladders and other bulky garden equipment, helping to free up valuable space inside the main shed.
Can the lean-to and door be installed to suit my garden layout?
Yes. The lean-to can be assembled on either side of the shed, while the single door can be fitted with either a left-hand or right-hand opening for maximum flexibility.
Does this shed require annual wood treatment?
No. The pressure-treated timber is protected by a 25 Year Anti-Rot Guarantee, so there's no need for annual preservative treatments, making it a low-maintenance garden storage solution.
