Forest Beckwood 6x8 Apex Shed - 2 Windows
The Forest Beckwood 6x8 Apex Shed with 2 Windows is a strong, spacious and secure garden shed that offers the perfect solution for storing tools, lawnmowers, bicycles, garden furniture and outdoor equipment. Expertly manufactured in Britain using premium-quality timber, this shed combines traditional craftsmanship with modern construction methods to provide exceptional durability and long-lasting performance.
Designed with Forest's innovative fully modular construction, the shed is supplied in smaller, interchangeable sections that are much easier to transport, handle and assemble. This intelligent design also creates a stronger finished building while offering greater flexibility during installation.
Premium Shiplap Timber Construction
Constructed from 12mm smooth-planed Shiplap Tongue & Groove cladding, the Beckwood shed provides outstanding weather protection thanks to tightly interlocking boards that help keep rain and draughts outside. The premium finish also gives the shed a smart, traditional appearance that complements any garden.
The structure is reinforced with 28 x 28mm timber framing, approximately 30% thicker than that used on many standard timber sheds. Combined with pressure-treated timber throughout, this creates a solid and durable building that's built to withstand years of everyday use.
Long-Lasting Performance
Every timber component has been pressure treated to protect against rot and fungal decay, allowing Forest to offer an impressive 25-year anti-rot guarantee. Unlike many wooden sheds, this model never requires annual preservative treatment, making it virtually maintenance free.
The shed also features a heavy-duty 12mm Tongue & Groove boarded floor, providing excellent support for heavier items including shelving, lawnmowers, workbenches and garden machinery.
Secure Design with Natural Light
The single door is reinforced with robust double-Z framing to increase strength and minimise movement over time. Hidden hinges and a traditional heavy-duty pad bolt locking system (padlock not included) help keep your tools and equipment secure.
Two fixed 3mm acrylic glazed windows allow natural daylight into the shed, creating a bright and practical workspace or storage area. Acrylic glazing is stronger and safer than traditional glass while remaining resistant to yellowing and fading over time.
For additional flexibility, the door can be installed with either a left or right-hand opening to best suit your garden layout.
Weatherproof Apex Roof
The classic apex roof gives the shed a traditional appearance while allowing rainwater to run off efficiently. Built using durable 8mm solid sheet boarding and finished with a premium mineral felt covering, it offers dependable weather protection throughout the year.
British Built Quality
Handcrafted in the UK using FSC® certified timber sourced from responsibly managed forests and other controlled sources, this Beckwood shed is manufactured to an exceptionally high standard.
Supplied complete with all required fixings and clear assembly instructions, it also benefits from Forest Garden's White Glove Delivery Service, where the shed is placed in your chosen location and all packaging is removed for your convenience.
