Overview
Whether you want a space to store your tools, pot your seedlings or a haven to do a bit of DIY, the new 8x5 Forest Retreat Shed gives you an exceptionally high-quality workspace.
More than just a utility building, they provide a practical space as well as making a beautiful feature in your garden. Hand-made to order from the finest materials, 50 years of experience and expertise come together in our Forest Retreat Sheds, representing the very best of our range. Kiln-dried, smooth-planed Redwood timber boards are mounted to a substantial framework in an overlap construction to give a traditional and attractive featheredge appearance, with 20mm wall thickness at the overlaps.
The steeply pitched roof gives the building a distinct style and offers plenty of headroom inside. Shelves can be readily inserted at the back of the shed, making full use of the roof space as a place for storage. The floor and roof use interlocking, smooth-planed and pressure-treated, Tongue and Groove boards and the floor is mounted on pressure-treated bearers to protect it from ground contact. The roof is finished with high-quality Canadian Red Cedar Shingles that over time will develop to a subtle grey. 4 windows, 2 fixed and 2 opening, are glazed with 4mm toughened glass.
Forest's Retreat sheds are available in a choice of 3 factory-finished paint colours and are assembled on-site by our team of professional builders. Price includes delivery and installation.

We are sorry but Forest Garden do not deliver or offer an assembly service to the following Postal Codes: BT1-BT99, GY1-GY9, HS1-HS9, IM1-IM9, IV41-IV56, JE1-JE5, KA27-KA28, KW15-KW17, PO30-PO41, PO49, TR21-TR25.
Installation Process
We also offer an installation service on selected products. So, if you’d rather take a back seat when it comes to building, don’t worry. Our assembly service means your new purchase is in safe hands and you can leave all the hard work and heavy lifting to us.
After you have booked in your delivery, you will be contacted separately to arrange a suitable installation date. This will usually be carried out by our own expert fitting team. However, depending on your location or purchase, we may use a third-party company.
Some products, such as the Vale Greenhouses, Gazebos and Retreat Sheds, offer installation on the same day as delivery. For most products, however, delivery and installation will be arranged separately. Installation is typically within 7-10 days of delivery, however at certain times of the season and depending on postcode this can increase to 3-4 weeks, please check with your retailer when ordering.
Upon delivery of your product, it is important to check all parts and sections to ensure everything is present. If there are any shortages or damaged parts, please contact us and we will ensure the required parts are supplied before the installation team arrive. If a job is aborted because the item has not been checked there will be a further charge to rebook.
Ideally, store the product as close to the assembly location as possible with the sections laid flat and cover the roof and floor sheets where practical.
We do offer the service of installing in your absence as long as you have side access. We do need written consent and clear instructions on the position of the shed.
On the day of Installation please ensure:
- There is a suitable solid level base prepared before the installers arrive on the day. If you require advice on building a base, please see our base preparation letter for guidance. Should the job be aborted due to an unsuitable base, there is likely to be a revisit charge.
- The area for the build is unobstructed. The installation team require at least 18 inches around the whole building. Therefore, please ensure there are no obstacles that may hinder the installation such as other garden buildings, fish ponds or structures. Please make sure all vegetation is cut back prior to the installers arriving to allow for a successful build. Also, please make sure the garden is free of any trip hazards such as children’s toys, tools, etc. We also ask that any pet waste has been cleared from the garden.
- You have requested permission from your neighbours for our assembly team’s access if required.
- There is suitable access to the installation site without having to enter your property. We are not insured to carry items through your property. If you do not have suitable access then you will have to arrange for the items to be moved to the site of installation prior to the fitters arriving.
- There are adequate parking facilities for the assembly team’s vehicle and any necessary parking permits have been secured.
- There is access to power at the site (our installation teams carry extension cables).
- There is someone at the property for the entire time of the installation. This is particularly important so the installers can check you are happy with the siting of the product prior to the commencement of installation, and for the installers to familiarise you with your new building after the build is complete.
