Forest Beckwood 8x6 Reverse Apex Shed - 2 Windows - Double Door
The Forest Beckwood 8x6 Reverse Apex Shed with 2 Windows and Double Doors is a traditional, strong and practical garden storage solution, designed and built in the UK to withstand the demands of British weather. Offering plenty of storage space, this high-quality timber shed is ideal for storing everything from gardening tools and lawn equipment to bikes, fishing gear and outdoor essentials.
Featuring Forest’s improved fully modular design, the Beckwood shed is made using smaller interchangeable sections, making it easier to handle, assemble and position in your garden. This clever construction method helps simplify installation without compromising on strength or durability.
Strong Pressure Treated Shiplap Construction
The shed is manufactured using premium 12mm pressure treated shiplap tongue and groove cladding, with smooth-planed boards that interlock securely to create a strong, weather-resistant finish. This design 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 wooden sheds, the Beckwood 8x6 is designed for excellent strength and stability. The pressure treated timber provides long-lasting 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 many sheds that use OSB flooring, the Beckwood 8x6 features a robust tongue and groove boarded floor supported by pressure treated bearers. This creates a stronger base, making it suitable for storing heavier items such as bikes, tools, garden machinery and outdoor equipment.
The reverse apex roof is made from a hardwearing 8mm solid sheet material and finished with a durable mineral felt covering. This provides reliable weather protection, helping to keep the interior of the shed dry and secure in all seasons.
Secure Double Doors and Acrylic Glazed Windows
The shed features strong double doors with a double-Z frame construction, helping to prevent movement and improve durability over time. Hidden hinges and a heavy-duty pad bolt provide added security, helping to keep your stored belongings safe (padlock not included).
The two fixed windows are made with durable acrylic glazing, which offers improved safety compared to traditional glass. The acrylic is strong, impact-resistant and designed to remain clear without yellowing or fading, allowing natural light into the shed while maintaining security.
Traditional Design with Easy Assembly
With its classic reverse apex roof design and natural timber finish, the Forest Beckwood 8x6 Shed is a stylish addition to any garden. Handcrafted in the UK using FSC® certified timber from sustainable sources, this shed combines traditional craftsmanship with modern construction methods.
The shed is delivered flat packed with all fixings and clear instructions included, making assembly straightforward. Forest Garden’s White Glove Delivery Service means the shed is delivered free to most UK addresses, placed in your chosen garden location and all packaging removed for convenience.
