What Colours To Paint Your Shed

Dont be afraid to get creative when it comes to painting your shed, it's your chance to add a touch of personality to your exteriors. One of our top tips is to remember to pick a colour thats going to compliment your garden perfectly, to help inspire you we've pulled together some of our favourites to help you decide:

If you're looking to make an impact why not go for something like Rust Oleum Raspberry Ripple brightly coloured pinks are perfect for implementing green grass and florals beautifully. If keeping things simple and neutral is more your thing, we think Cuprinol Garden Shades Pale Jasmine would make a perfect choice. 

Looking to go for a darker colour? There’s much more natural light in your garden than indoors, so you can absolutely afford to experiment with darker tones. Some of our favourites include Cuprinol Garden Shades - Barleywood or Rust Oleum Garden Paint - Cobalt.

How to Paint A Shed

Preparation

Before painting your shed its most important to ensure that your surfaces have been properly prepared, make any repairs or replace any decayed sections of wood. If there are large cracks or splits in the wood, use an exterior wood filler to repair them. Once your surfaces have been properly repaired, protect the ground around your shed by using plastic or painting sheets and trim back any excess foliage. Using a wire brush remove any loose paint or flaking dirt to ensure your surfaces are smooth and ready for painting.

Masking

If your shed has any windows or hinges that you don't want splashed with paint ensure that you use masking tape to provide the neatest finish possible. 

Painting

Starting at the top of your shed and using a wide brush or roller, start applying your paint, as per the manufacturer's guide. Ensure when applying your paint that your careful to not let it drip to much and make sure that you use long, steady strokes that follow along with the grain perfectly. For larger, flat areas, why not use a roller to help speed things up if your tight on time.
