painting my shed
Hi All
I had a shed built in my garden about six months ago and now want to paint it. Anyone have any recommendations as to what is the best to use. I am a bit confused with timbercare, paints and stains? Kind regards Coco |

You can see lots of fences stained red (cedar) which was once a popular colour but now deeply unfashionable. Go for a stain that soaks in and doesn't leave a surface coat. Dont be tempted to use a spray - there is too much detail around the window and doors of a shed; and also you will get the spray over everything else around the shed - plants will be killed and other objects ruined. You need to decide WHY you need to paint the shed? Don't you like the colour of wood? If you don't like aged grey wood then treat the shed with a UV filter which will preserve the natural wood colour. Sikkens natural will do this. Davy |
