Product Information
Full details
The Forest Garden Overlap Apex Shed 7x7 is an ideal storage solution for homeowners and gardening enthusiasts seeking a secure, durable structure to house lawn mowers, tools, and seasonal equipment. Its primary benefit is the combination of a robust pressure-treated timber frame with high-security features like Z-framed double doors, though users should note that the assembly process requires at least two people and a level foundation to ensure long-term structural integrity.

FAQs
Does the shed come with a floor?
Yes, it includes a robust timber floor designed to support heavy garden machinery and equipment.
Can I put the windows on either side?
Yes, the two shatterproof PET windows can be installed on either side of the shed to suit your garden layout.
Is the wood already treated?
Yes, the timber is pressure-treated to protect against rot and fungal decay.
How many people are needed for assembly?
Due to the size and weight of the panels, we recommend at least two people for a safe and efficient assembly.
What tools will I need for assembly?
You will typically need a drill/driver, spirit level, tape measure, rubber mallet, and a ladder.
Is the roof felt included?
Yes, the shed comes with high-quality black sand felt to provide a traditional look and weather protection.
Troubleshooting
Doors are sticking or not closing flush
Check if the shed foundation has settled and become unlevel; re-level the base and adjust the hinge screws.
Minor gaps appearing between overlap boards
This is normal as the timber naturally dries and shrinks during warm seasons; ensure the shed was assembled tightly and apply an exterior wood sealant if desired.
Water pooling on the roof
Verify that the shed is perfectly level; if the structure is leaning, water will not drain off the apex roof as intended.
Pros and Cons

- Flexible window positioning during assembly

- Overlap construction may have minor air gaps depending on seasonal wood movement
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before beginning assembly, ensure the shed is placed on a completely flat, level surface such as a concrete pad or a pressure-treated timber frame base. Failure to provide a level foundation will cause the doors to misalign over time. During assembly, ensure you have a partner to help hold panels in place, as the timber components are heavy. While the wood is pressure-treated, we recommend an occasional application of a high-quality water repellent or wood preservative to the exterior to maintain the color and protective barrier. Check all screws and hinges annually, tightening any that may have loosened due to natural wood expansion cycles.
