Forest Beckwood 8x6 Reverse Apex Shed - 2 Windows
The Forest Beckwood 8x6 Reverse Apex Shed with 2 Windows is a strong, practical and stylish garden storage solution, designed and manufactured in the UK to withstand the demands of British weather. Offering plenty of storage space, this timber shed is ideal for keeping gardening tools, bikes, outdoor equipment, fishing gear and other essentials safely stored away.
Featuring Forest’s improved fully modular design, the Beckwood shed is built using smaller interchangeable sections, making it easier to handle, assemble and position in your garden. This clever design makes installation simpler while maintaining the strength and durability expected from a high-quality wooden shed.
Strong Pressure Treated Shiplap Construction
The shed is constructed using premium 12mm pressure treated shiplap tongue and groove cladding, with smooth-planed boards that interlock tightly to create a strong and weather-resistant finish. This helps provide a watertight seal, keeping your belongings protected throughout the year.
Built with 28 x 28mm framing, which is 30% thicker than many standard garden sheds, the Beckwood 8x6 is designed for extra strength and stability. The pressure treated timber offers excellent protection against rot and decay and comes with a 25-year anti-rot guarantee, meaning there is no need for annual preservative treatment.
Durable Tongue & Groove Floor and Weatherproof Roof
Unlike sheds that use standard OSB flooring, the Beckwood 8x6 features a strong tongue and groove boarded floor supported by pressure treated bearers. This creates a durable base that is suitable for storing heavier items such as bikes, lawn equipment and garden machinery.
The reverse apex roof is made from a hardwearing 8mm solid sheet material and finished with a quality mineral felt covering. This provides excellent protection against rain and changing weather conditions, helping to keep the inside of the shed dry and secure.
Secure Door Design with Acrylic Glazed Windows
The shed features a strong single door with a double-Z frame construction, helping to prevent movement and improve long-term durability. Security is enhanced with hidden hinges and a heavy-duty pad bolt, helping to keep your stored items safe (padlock not included).
The door can be installed to open from either the left or right-hand side, allowing you to choose the best setup for your garden layout. The acrylic glazed windows allow natural light into the shed while offering improved safety compared to traditional glass. The acrylic glazing is strong, durable and designed not to yellow or fade over time.
Traditional Garden Style and Easy Assembly
With its classic reverse apex roof design and natural timber finish, the Forest Beckwood 8x6 Shed will complement a variety of garden styles. Handcrafted in the UK using FSC® certified timber from sustainable sources, it combines traditional craftsmanship with modern construction methods.
The shed is supplied flat packed with all fixings and clear instructions included, helping to make assembly as straightforward as possible. Forest Garden’s White Glove Delivery Service means the shed will be delivered free to most UK addresses, placed in your chosen garden location and all packaging removed for convenience.
