Product Information

If you’d rather embrace and enhance the natural character and colour of your shed, treat it in a traditional wood-inspired tone. Our One Coat Fence Life in Medium Oak is a warm and welcoming option that can open up your garden and make it more inviting. Top tip: Take the brightening effect beyond the exterior and paint the inside of your shed too. This is especially useful if your shed is placed in a shady spot. A light interior will make the most of the sunshine your shed receives and it makes it easier to find things too.

Painting your shed grey adds a cool and contemporary twist to any garden. And with a range of shades on offer, you can dial your drama up or down depending on your overall design. Instructions for Use - Give your paint a thorough stir to mix the colour pigments. Make sure you get rid of any lumps and bumps. Apply the paint in the direction of the woodgrain with a synthetic brush. Leave your first coat to dry for four hours. Apply the second coat. If you’re painting bare wood, you might still be able to see the grain after two coats. If that’s the case, wait four hours before applying a third coat. Your last coat will be weatherproof in one hour. And that’s it, job done! Top tip: Darker shades such as Garden Paint in English Oak make a more practical choice for sheds that may see more wear and tear. They’re also better for blurring out boundaries and helping your sheds blend more subtly into your garden design. Add a bit of fun with a splash of colour, this a great way to use left-over paint. Why not try Purple Berry on terracotta, Pink Jasmine, Summer Sky, and Lime Zest on wood, or Slate on wood. Kids’ cornerTop tip: Teal is a very deep and dramatic colour that offers a lot of character. To make sure this doesn’t get too overwhelming, frame your shed with a bright neutral walkway or add plenty of colourful plants between your shed and any fencing in the same colour. You’ll need to put on 3 coats, this will give you the best colour and protection. When painting on smooth surfaces, lightly sand between the 2nd and 3rd coat. Leave 4 hours between each coat. If you get any paint on yourself, it will wash off with warm, soapy water. If you've been painting furniture, it’s best to leave it a day or two before using it. Our paint can only be used on a warm day with the temperature above 10°C and make sure there’s no rain forecast. On metal make sure you wipe it down with white spirit and use a suitable metal primer - this'll make sure you get the best finish and your paint will last longer. Top tip: Create cohesion between your indoor and outdoor spaces by using sage on your fence panels and your interiors too. Add accessories in neutrals, woods or brown for a traditional, earthy look or use pops of mustard yellow to make your scheme more vibrant.

From bark-like browns to forest greens (pictured above from our Fence Life Plus range), there are lots of choices available. Tones inspired by nature are a massive trend for 2022 interiors and can be just as impactful when used outdoors. Teal is yet another colour that’s trending in the world of design. It’s strong and saturated yet sits comfortably in most garden schemes. This makes it one of the most versatile shed colour ideas. This treatment can be used on new wood and sheds that have been painted before. Needing only one coat, it’s an ideal choice for those pressed for time and it will stop your shed from greying too.

Make sure you give it a good stir before you start. Try the colour out first on a hidden area to make sure you are happy with it. Whether you opt for a cool, crisp white or a warm and awakening stone, a light and bright colour scheme can really uplift your garden. Make sure it’s a warm, dry day (above 10°C) and that it’s not going to rain. Whatever you’re painting needs to be clean and dry. If you're painting onto wood you'll need to brush in the direction of the wood grain. 3 coats will give you the best colour and protection and make sure you sand down between the second and third coat if you're painting a smooth surface.
