What is the 15-year anti-rot warranty and what does it cover?

Forest Garden backs this store with a 15-year anti-rot warranty. The structure is pressure-treated during manufacture, which means the timber is impregnated with preservative to guard against rot and decay. Because of this treatment, no further staining or treatment is required after purchase. The warranty reflects Forest Garden's confidence in the pressure treatment process. For full warranty terms and conditions, contact Forest Garden directly.

Does the store come with a padlock or any locking mechanism?

The double doors are fitted with a hasp and staple closure, which is designed to accept a padlock. However, a padlock is not included with the store. You will need to purchase one separately. The door hinges are cleverly hidden, which adds an additional layer of security by making them harder to tamper with from the outside.

Is this store large enough to fit a bicycle or lawnmower inside?

Yes. Forest Garden specifically markets this store as suitable for bicycles, lawnmowers and garden furniture. The internal capacity is 2000 litres and the door opening is 760mm wide by 1252mm tall, which is wide enough to wheel a standard bicycle or push lawnmower through. The pent roof design maximises usable internal height at the front of the store.

What is the floor made from and will it keep contents dry?

The floor is made from 8mm OSB (Oriented Strand Board). It is mounted on pressure-treated bearers that raise it off the ground. This is important because it prevents moisture from the ground wicking up into the floor and keeps the contents dry. The pent roof has a green sand felt covering that protects stored items from rain coming in from above.

Does this store need any treatment after it is assembled?

No. Because the timber is pressure-treated during manufacture, Forest Garden states that no further treatment is required. This saves time and ongoing maintenance costs. The pressure treatment process forces preservative deep into the wood fibres, giving long-lasting protection against rot. If you want to change the appearance you could apply a wood stain or paint, but it is not necessary for protection.

How difficult is it to assemble and what is included in the box?

Forest Garden describes this store as easy to assemble. All necessary fixings and assembly instructions are included in the package. No specific tools are listed as required, though basic hand tools such as a screwdriver and hammer would typically be needed for this type of flat-pack timber building. The packaged weight is 85kg so you will likely need two people to handle and position the panels safely.

Is the timber used in this store sustainably sourced?

Yes. The timber used in the OPPLOSHD is FSC®-certified, meaning it comes from forests that are managed to meet the standards of the Forest Stewardship Council. FSC certification covers responsible forest management including environmental and social standards. Forest Garden states the timber is sourced from sustainable, well-managed forests. The store is also made in the UK.
