Shiplap sheds offer you a heady combination of strength, style and superb value for money, so it’s no surprise they’re one of the nation’s bestselling types of garden shed. And, thanks to Forest’s groundbreaking new Beckwood range, there’s never been a better time to buy a shiplap wooden shed than now.
Forest Beckwood Shiplap Sheds
Although shiplap sheds have always had plenty of selling points, Forest Beckwood has propelled this type of wooden shed to a whole new level.
Here, we examine the reasons why these particular sheds are proving so popular, and how they can deliver everything you could possibly demand from a new garden shed.
Maintenance-Free Wooden Sheds


When you reap the many benefits of buying a wooden shed, you accept that it comes at the cost of having to periodically retreat the timber. Right? Wrong!
Beckwood shiplap sheds are delivered pressure treated and with a market-leading 25-year guarantee, along with the promise that further treatment against rot will never be required. This gives you complete maintenance freedom, saving you money on expensive wood preservative and leaving you more time to enjoy your garden.
The Strongest Shiplap Sheds


Shiplap is renowned as one of the strongest types of shed cladding, so buying a shiplap shed should give you the confidence that you’re investing in a high-quality product, which will withstand the rigours of a busy garden for decades to come.
However, Forest isn’t a company to rest on its laurels and settle for manufacturing just another strong wooden shed. No, they’ve decided to make their shiplap sheds even stronger!
They’ve achieved this by making Beckwood a range of modular shiplap sheds, so they’re delivered in smaller sections of interchangeable panels but you get more overall wood. This not only makes Beckwood sheds easier to assemble and more versatile than other shiplap sheds, it makes them far stronger too.
Weather-Beating Wooden Sheds


Shiplap’s tightly interlocking boards make it far more weathertight than overlap cladding. Add on Forest’s famed pressure-treatment process and you’ve got a truly weather-beating wooden shed.
The floor and roof are equally adept at keeping out the elements…
The former is made from top-of-the-range 12mm tongue & groove. It is supported by pressure-treated bearers too, which improve air circulation in this key area and provide another layer of protection against rot-causing ground moisture.
The latter is built from tough solid sheet and fitted with a high-quality mineral-felt cover to keep out the rain. The roofs on larger apex models are also reinforced by metal truss brackets, for even greater strength and structural integrity.
Secure Shiplap Sheds


If you’re storing expensive tools or bicycles inside your shed, you’ll want to ensure they’re safe. Here, once again, these shiplap sheds excel.
Firstly, whichever model you choose, the doors come with double-Z framing, which makes them much stronger than standard shed doors and prevents them losing shape.
Secondly, they come with hidden security hinges and a pad bolt, so, once you’ve supplied your own padlock, you can rest assured that your valuable stored items are secure.
The windows don’t present a weak spot either. Made from acrylic, they’re far stronger than conventional glass and completely shatterproof.
Choice of Different Shed Sizes


As we all have different requirements for our sheds, it stands to reason that we’re not all going to want exactly the same model.
Well, one of the many great things about this range of shiplap sheds is that there are over 50 different styles and sizes to choose from! There really is a Beckwood shed to cater for every conceivable requirement and, best of all, every single one of them is built to the same exacting standards.
Sizes range from small 4x3 sheds through to huge 20x10 workshop sheds, and encompass just about everything between the two. And if you’re shopping for the nation’s favourite - an 8x6 shed – there are an incredible 9 different models to choose from.
Now that’s what we call a proper range of sheds!
Stylish Shiplap Sheds


When looking at any of these sheds for sale, you can clearly see that not only are they all built to the same high standards, they’re all incredibly stylish too.
Whether you favour an apex, pent or reverse apex model, you can buy it with the certain knowledge that it will include stunning shiplap walls, a gorgeous green roof cover, and impeccable attention to detail throughout.
So, whatever type of property you own, you can rest assured that a Forest Beckwood shed will complement your garden perfectly.
Cheap Wooden Sheds


We don’t sell ‘cheap’ sheds, but we do sell sheds that are outstanding value for money, and Forest Beckwood most certainly falls into this category.
Okay, so it’s possible to buy a cheaper wooden shed than a Beckwood, but we challenge you to find any shed on the market that offers such exceptional value for money.
All things considered; Forest Beckwood gives you the opportunity to own a top-quality, long-lasting shiplap shed at a price you can comfortably afford.
FSC® Sheds


Buying a Beckwood shed doesn’t just benefit you, it’s an ethical choice that benefits the world around you too. If you think we’re exaggerating, consider this…
Beckwood shiplap sheds are built using FSC®-certified timber, which is the world’s most-trusted mark for sustainable forestry. And this FSC® wood is grown in the UK, so transportation miles are minimised and the shed’s carbon footprint is reduced.
Add on the fact that Beckwood sheds are expertly constructed here, in the UK, too and you couldn’t invest in a more ethical brand of shed.
Sheds That Give You More


From the top of their smooth-planed barge boards to the bottom of their pressure-treated floor bearers, Beckwood sheds are brimming with premium features throughout.
Should you wish, you can purchase some great optional upgrades for them too, including a shed base kit, professional installation service, plus a garden building solar lighting and charging kit.
And, for a limited time only, we’re now giving away a FREE shed solar light on all models sold.
Superior Shed Delivery


When buying a bulky item like a garden shed, you can’t be expected to stick it on the roof of your car and take it home with you. Forest don’t believe that you should be expected to pick it up off the kerbside and struggle to shift it into your back garden either. That’s why their Beckwood range of sheds qualifies for their outstanding White Glove Delivery Service.
White Glove goes the extra mile by delivering the shed wherever you want in your garden, with all of the product packaging removed.
Now that’s what we call customer service!
