Product Information

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.

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. 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. Top 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. Use 120 grit sandpaper and lightly sand in the direction of the woodgrain. This will help to give you a smooth surface to help the paint adhere well.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. Garden design this year. With its fresh finish and nostalgic charm, sage brings an effortless elegance to your garden design. Top tip: For a twist on this traditional look, create an ombre effect by blending whites through light blues down to deeper teals or navy. It’s just as uplifting but feels modern and playful too.

Passionate and powerful, red is a great British colour icon. Used on everything from phone booths to post boxes, it’s a colour full of warmth and pride that commands your attention. So, why not use it on your shed? Fence Life Plus can be applied when the wood is damp, but not wet. So if it’s rained on the day of application, you need to wait for five hours before putting it on. The treatment can’t be applied in the rain. It needs to be a warm, dry day with temperatures above 10°C. Cold weather will stop it from drying. Clean the wood with a stiff brush to remove any dirt. 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. 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.

How to use chalk paint

Make sure your room is warm and above 10°C. The chalk paint doesn’t have a strong smell but you still might want to open a window or door for extra ventilation. This serene shade of green is also incredibly versatile and will complement almost any foliage or flowers you want to team it with. Use our Fence Life Plus in Sage to get in on this trend and protect your shed against rain, snow, frost and UV damage.
