Description
The Lotus Hera 7’x4′ Apex Metal Shed with Foundation Grid is constructed using tough galvanised steel.
The Lotus Hera 7’x4′ Apex Metal Shed offers plentiful storage space. With its height and base size, this steel shed provides you with expansive space and sufficient headroom for storing heavy-duty equipment and valuable DIY tools. The sliding double doors allow you to move in and out of the building comfortably with the ability to lock it for added security.
Metal Garden Storage
For larger items like garden tools, lawn mowers, and even bikes you want secure storage. A shed allows you to not only make sure everything’s safe and in one spot, but to make the most of the rest of your garden space. The Hera metal shed offers reliable storage that’ll keep your belongings safe and dry.
Apex Metal Shed
Apex roof metal sheds typically slope to either side of the shed door (or face) with slight roof overhangs. This roof style allows for increased headroom on the inside as well as excellent water runoff. The roof material on this traditional apex design is weather-resistant and offers the Hera a sturdy roof to top it all off.
Windowless Design
A windowless design, especially in a metal shed, is perfect for extra security. So if you’re housing valuable bikes and tools in your Hera shed, you can keep your belongings in and prying eyes out. Plus, wide-opening double doors with lockable handles offer natural light whilst you’re working – perfect if you’re looking at metal garden workshops.
Air Circulation
Air circulation is highly important in all sheds, especially metal models. That’s why our Lotus sheds have functional vents included as standard. This helps with thermal regulation on hot (and cold) days as well as allowing air vents to circulate air and prevent condensation or even damp.
Weather Resistant
The durable metal the Hera is made from is designed to stand up to even harsh weather conditions and offer durable protection year-round. This is the ideal choice for homeowners who want a virtually stress (and maintenance)-free shed. Unlike wooden sheds, metal sheds won’t require treatment or much attention at all.
Galvanised Steel Construction
Galvanised steel construction is well-known for its durable properties including preventing the formation of rust and corrosion. That’s why we’ve used galvanised steel cladding for our Lotus Hera to give you long-lasting quality.
Steel Foundation Kit
With this cargo-container style shed, we’ve included a steel foundation kit to offer a solid base. This excellent product just needs to be erected onto a level base and you can even use an anchor kit to affix it to a concrete base for a long-lasting and sturdy build.
