Forest 7 x 5 ft Overlap Shed

Description

A single door is perfectly adequate for many sheds but double doors make entry so much easier especially when you have large items. That's why this Overlap 7ft x 5ft Shed from Forest has become a popular choice over the years.

There's a good chance that the contents will also be valuable, so it's good to know that security is taken seriously. Door hinges are hidden, there's a hasp & staple latch and double 'Z' bracing for strength.

The polycarbonate glazing is unbreakable and will not suffer yellowing or brittleness as it ages. With the excellent light transmission and good headroom, moving about inside the shed is easy. 

Flooring is included as standard, it is a robust pressure-treated board, while overhead the roof is constructed from sheet material and then covered with black sand felt to ensure that it is weatherproof.

Not only supremely practical, but the shed also has an attractive appearance. This is due to the mixed softwood overlap cladding that has also been pressure treated. Even though treatment with preservatives is not required, the FSC timber is guaranteed against rot and decay for fifteen years.

Key Features

  • Made with traditional straight cut overlap timber boards
  • Easy to build and move
  • Improved design with smaller sections for easy assembly
  • Strong construction with additional framing and robust Double Z framed door

Excellent Garden Shed

Excellent garden shed, especially as a very good price. Looks great in the garden, mine is painted sage green. It took 2 hours for two people to put together easily. I highly recommend this shed perfect for garden items and storing the lawnmower which is easy to get in and out with the double doors. Delivery was within days and with a specified two hours delivery slot. Overall a great purchase.

Nice looking shed - not the best fit

Nice looking shed now it's up. Took us 6 hours to build. Instructions were basic and many parts didn't fit properly, so had to dismantle and try again. Now it is up, it looks lovely though. The delivery man said he was not legally allowed in our house, so did not help us at all, which was a shame.

You get what you pay for as already stated..but for the price is ok

You get what you pay for as already stated. warped wood, poor quality nails and screws and very basic instructions. I had to dismantle the door and re nail the wood slats just to make align the centre. It's never going to win the best shed in the world...but for the price is ok... if you want better, pay more and dont buy this shed!

What more do you want?

This shed probably won't win many prizes but what you see is what you get, a timber shed that's large enough for my bike and a lot of clutter that 'might come in handy some day'. everything fits together perfectly well if you follow the instructions and the double doors are a bonus for this size of shed.

Forest Apex Shed 7x5

I'm very pleased with my new shed. A competent DIY friend helped me with the assembly, took around 4-5 hours. All the relevant panels, parts, screws, latches etc were present. The shed looks great and would definitely recommend.

Peter Asked:

With regards to a window I notice that the nailed beading is positioned on the exterior side of the shed. This, in my opinion, presents a security risk as the beading can be easily removed as well as the window pane thus allowing unwanted access via the opening. A better solution would be to have the beading on the interior side!!!!! Your thoughts on this would be appreciated.

We Replied:

Dear Peter Thank you for your question. The beading has been secured on the outside of our Forest sheds for many years, and we’ve not come across any concerns or issues that arise from this. I can understand your concerns but due to the window design, it’s been determined that it fits better on the outside. Should you wish to contact us further or to place an order, please call us on 0121 355 7701. Thank you for using our online Q&A system. Kind regards Gaby
