7′ x 5′ Forest Overlap Pressure Treated Double Door Apex Wooden Shed

Access and Usage

The double doors, equipped with a secure plate hasp & staple locking system, provide easy access while offering a crucial layer of security for your tools and equipment. With door dimensions at 1,180 mm wide and 1,692 mm tall, they exceed the average dimensions for 7′ x 5′ sheds by approximately 4% width and 8% height. This should definitely be appreciated if you plan on storing bulky outdoor equipment or simply prefer more comfortable entry.

In terms of natural light, the single polyethylene window comes with a thickness of 0.75mm, and while this is on the lower end of window glazing thicknesses, it does allow light to penetrate into the shed. However, you may want to consider that it isn’t highly durable against potential impacts.

Flooring and Roofing

The shed’s flooring is constructed from 14mm thick OSB, rated as above-average for thickness—a vital feature that translates into stability and performance. Its 8.0mm OSB roof boarding, however, leaves something to be desired; this thickness is rated as below-average among similar structures, providing minimal insulation against temperature variations.

As for its protective layer, the shed boasts a sand felt roof covering. Experts deem this a superior choice for roof coverings, given its ability to withstand varying weather patterns while maintaining structural integrity. It’s commendable that this shed is equipped with a combination of functionalities and materials aimed towards efficiency.
