IF your garden storage needs aren’t too hefty, a 6×4-foot shed is often the perfect middle ground.
Right now, garden owners are racing to buy a compact shed that’s been slashed by 20% in an online sale.
6×4-foot Forest 4Life Apex Wooden Shed,
£339.99 (was £429.99)
Yes, the wet weather and cold temperatures mean not many of us our spending time in our gardens right now.
But the New Year is the perfect time to go shopping for outdoor gardening storage, as it’s when many retailers launch clearance sales.
This smaller-scale shed is currently a bestseller on the Buy Sheds Direct website.
Its compact size is ideal for smaller gardens where every inch of space has to earn its keep.
This model sits in Forest 4Life overlap range, which is all about low-fuss ownership.
The pressure-treated timber includes a 25-year anti-rot guarantee, freeing you from the hassle of annual re-treating and re-resealing.
It’s the perfect choice if you want a shed that doesn’t add another chore to your garden maintenance list.
The modular design makes assembly a doddle, and also offers more flexibility than traditional builds, making it easy to fit into tight spots or awkward corners.
Additionally, the straight-cut overlap cladding ensures rainwater runs off cleanly while allowing the wood to move naturally as the seasons change.

It’s also advertised as having a boarded floor, and one that should be considerably stronger than more basic sheds that rely on thinner sheet materials.
This isn’t a trivial factor, especially if you’re planning to store heavier kit like a mower.
It’s also worth zooming out. Buy Sheds Direct is currently running a “Spend and save” promotion across a variety of sheds from the same range.
So if you’re not fixed on a 6×4, this is a good time to compare the next size up or a different door style before you commit.

If you’re buying for a small garden, measure your access route first (gate width, side passage, steps).
After that, figure out where the shed door goes: choose a position that makes everyday use as simple as possible.
The best shed is the one you can actually get into and use, without having to rearrange the patio every single time.
