6'5 x 2'10 Forest Overlap Double Door Wooden Bike Shed / Pressure Treated (no floor)

Does this bike shed come with a floor?

No, this version of the Forest Overlap Double Door Bike Shed does not include a floor. This is intentional the open base allows wet bicycles to drain freely after use without moisture becoming trapped inside and damaging the structure. If you prefer a floor, there is an upgrade version available (6'5 x 2'10 Forest Wooden Bike Store - With Floor) priced at £244.99 which includes pressure-treated flooring and gives you the added benefit of being able to store other items more easily.

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

This shed is pressure-treated at the factory before it leaves, which means the timber is protected against rot and decay for 15 years. The warranty covers the structural timber against rotting under normal outdoor conditions. Crucially, this means you do not need to apply any additional treatment or preservative after purchase, saving you both time and money over the life of the shed. This is a significant advantage over untreated timber sheds which typically require annual treatment.

Is the timber FSC-certified and why does that matter?

Yes, the shed is constructed from FSC®-certified timber. FSC stands for Forest Stewardship Council and certification means the wood has been sourced from well-managed, sustainable forests. This is an independently verified standard that confirms responsible forestry practices. For buyers who want to make environmentally conscious purchasing decisions, FSC certification provides assurance that the timber used in this shed has not contributed to deforestation or irresponsible land management.

How secure is this shed?

The shed features wide double doors with a hasp and staple closure system. This allows you to fit a padlock of your choice (note: a padlock is not included with the shed). Additionally, the door hinges are cleverly hidden, which means they cannot be tampered with or removed from the outside a practical security feature that reduces a common point of vulnerability on garden sheds. For best security, we recommend using a good quality closed shackle padlock with the hasp and staple fitting.

What are the exact dimensions of this shed?

The shed measures 6'5 x 2'10 overall. In metric terms: the width at base is 1828mm with the overhang bringing the total width to 1952mm. The depth at base is 750mm and depth including overhang is 868mm. The ridge height is 1455mm. The double doors are 760mm wide and 1252mm tall. The cladding is 7mm thick and the roof is 8mm OSB. The packaged weight is 68.35kg. These dimensions make it a compact but practical structure suitable for most garden spaces.

What can I store in this shed besides bikes?

While it is designed primarily as a bike shed, the 2000-litre capacity and wide double doors make it practical for storing lawnmowers, garden tools, outdoor equipment and general garden storage items. The door opening of 760mm wide by 1252mm tall is wide enough to wheel in most standard bikes and push lawnmowers without difficulty. It is described by Forest as suitable for use as a bike shed, mower shed or general outdoor tool shed.

Does this shed require any maintenance after installation?

Because the shed is supplied already pressure-treated, no further treatment is required to maintain the anti-rot warranty. This is one of the key practical advantages of this product you do not need to spend time or money applying wood preservative each year as you would with an untreated shed. The natural timber finish will weather over time outdoors, which is normal for timber buildings. If you wish to maintain the original appearance you can apply a timber stain or paint, but this is entirely optional and not required for the warranty to remain valid.

What is included with the shed and how difficult is it to assemble?

The shed comes with all the fixings needed for assembly as well as a full set of instructions. Forest describe it as easy to assemble. No specific tools are listed as required in the product information, but standard hand tools such as a screwdriver and hammer would typically be needed for this type of shed. Installation is available as an optional service if you prefer to have it professionally assembled. Free delivery is available to most UK addresses and you can choose your delivery day at checkout.
