Forest 4LIFE Reverse Apex Shed 12x8 - Double Door - 6 Windows
The Forest 4LIFE Reverse Apex Shed 12x8 with Double Doors and 6 Windows is a spacious, durable and secure garden building that provides ample room for storing garden equipment, outdoor furniture, tools and machinery. Its generous internal space, impressive headroom and wide double doors also make it an excellent choice for use as a workshop, hobby room or DIY space.
Part of Forest Garden's premium 4LIFE range, this shed features an innovative modular design. Delivered in smaller, easy-to-handle sections, it is quicker to assemble while incorporating more timber than many traditional overlap sheds, creating a stronger and more robust structure built to last.
Strong, Long-Lasting Construction
This shed is built using traditional 7mm straight-cut overlap timber cladding, allowing the timber to naturally expand and contract with seasonal weather changes while helping rainwater drain away efficiently. Supported by framing that is approximately 30% thicker than many standard overlap sheds, it provides excellent strength and stability.
The pressure-treated timber is protected against rot and fungal decay and comes with Forest Garden's outstanding 25 Year Anti-Rot Guarantee. Better still, no annual preservative treatment is required, giving you a truly low-maintenance garden building.
Heavy-Duty Floor and Weatherproof Roof
Unlike many sheds that use standard OSB flooring, this model features a durable 12mm solid timber boarded floor, providing excellent support for heavier items such as lawnmowers, shelving, workbenches, bicycles and power tools.
The roof is manufactured from robust 8mm solid sheet boarding and finished with a weatherproof green mineral felt covering, offering reliable protection from the elements all year round.
Bright Interior with Secure Double Doors
Six shatterproof PET glazed windows allow plenty of natural light into the shed, creating a bright, comfortable workspace. The PET glazing is far more durable than traditional glass and is designed not to yellow, fade or become brittle over time.
The wide double doors make it easy to move bulky equipment and larger items in and out. Reinforced with strong double Z framing to minimise movement and sagging, the doors also feature hidden hinges and a padlock-ready hasp and staple latch (padlock not included) for improved security.
Traditional Styling with Convenient Delivery
The attractive reverse apex roof, smooth-planed barge boards and decorative diamond-shaped finial give this shed a classic appearance that suits both traditional and contemporary gardens.
Manufactured in the UK using FSC® certified timber and other responsibly sourced materials, the shed includes all required fixings and easy-to-follow assembly instructions.
For complete convenience, Forest Garden's White Glove Delivery Service delivers the shed directly into your garden and removes all packaging, helping make installation as straightforward as possible.

FAQs
Are the six windows made from safety glass?
No. The shed features durable shatterproof PET glazing, which is stronger and safer than traditional glass while remaining clear without yellowing or becoming brittle over time.
Can this shed be used as a workshop?
Yes. The spacious 12x8 layout, generous headroom, bright interior, solid timber floor and wide double doors make it ideal for workshops, DIY projects and hobbies.
Does this shed require regular wood treatment?
No. The pressure-treated timber is protected by Forest Garden's 25 Year Anti-Rot Guarantee, meaning no annual preservative treatment is required to maintain the anti-rot protection.
