Forest 4LIFE Apex Summerhouse 7×5 – Double Door – 4 Windows
Bring style and practicality to your outdoor space with the Forest 4LIFE Apex Summerhouse 7×5. Compact yet surprisingly spacious, this attractive garden building is ideal for creating a peaceful reading nook, hobby room, creative workspace or somewhere to simply relax. Four large acrylic windows allow plenty of natural daylight to brighten the interior, while the traditional apex roof provides generous headroom and a classic garden appearance.
Constructed using durable overlap timber cladding, this summerhouse features Forest's improved modular panel system. The smaller panel sections are easier to handle during delivery and assembly, while the enhanced design uses more timber to create a stronger, sturdier building that offers greater flexibility during installation.
Built for Long-Term Performance
The Forest 4LIFE Apex Summerhouse is pressure treated throughout, eliminating the need for annual preservative treatments. With an impressive 25-year anti-rot guarantee, you can enjoy years of reliable outdoor use with minimal maintenance, making it an excellent long-term investment for your garden.
Manufactured in the UK using FSC® certified timber and other responsibly sourced materials, this summerhouse combines quality craftsmanship with environmentally responsible sourcing.
Strong Construction and Practical Features
Unlike many garden buildings that use OSB flooring, this model is fitted with a solid 12mm boarded timber floor that offers improved strength and stability. It's ideal for supporting furniture, shelving, hobby equipment and everyday garden use. The durable 8mm solid sheet roof is protected with a weather-resistant green mineral felt covering to help keep the building dry throughout the seasons.
New for 2025, the extended roof overhang adds an attractive traditional finish while providing extra shelter over the entrance, helping protect the doors from rain and sun.
