SHED PAINT
What is the best shed paint?
There can only be one winner here. In our opinion the best shed paint has to be Royal Exterior. With a massive choice of colour and a long lifespan, why would you spend you time painting your outdoor building with anything else. A close second is the Woodstain and Protect range, which has a good choice of colours and a decent lifespan. This has the advantage of being cheaper and maybe more importantly – sprayable. It will however need more coats to get that top class look. To help make a decision, one coat of Royal Exterior will possibly be enough, whereas two coats of Woodstain and Protect would need to be allocated for.
For a quick spruce up for a tired looking garden shed, then either Shed & Fence or Timber Eco Shield will do the trick. Both of these will bring back a natural wood colour to grey timber, with the latter providing at least twice the longevity of the former. As with all Protek products, shed paints and wood stains are eco friendly, water based wood treatments. They are suitable for all types of wood, including softwoods, hardwoods, bricks and masonry. They are also available a large choice of colours as well as clear and translucent finishes.
The Importance of Using Natural Shed Paints
Natural products, like eco-friendly shed paint, offers significant benefits both to users and the environment. They often have low or zero volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making them safer to use and ensuring better indoor air quality. Additionally, these products are typically made from renewable resources, reducing the environmental impact associated with their production and use.
Best Shed Paint Colours
Grey Shed Paints

Blue Shed Paints
Add a touch of class with Blue Shed Paint. Perfect as a single colour, or even better when contrasting with white or cream. Popular choices are Beaumont Blue and Shearwater in the Woodstain range.

Green Shed Paints
Green shed paint pairs effortlessly with any garden. Perfect for making a compact garden look bigger, green paint will also ensure your outdoor space looks vibrant and full of life, whatever the season. Want to achieve an elegant aesthetic?

Black Shed Paints
Painting a garden shed black can be a good idea, depending on the desired aesthetic and individual preferences. Black garden buildings offer a contemporary look and have become exceedingly popular for garden makeovers. They create a dramatic contrast with foliage, and can help define a space. However, they can also be perceived as stark, potentially making a smaller garden appear smaller, and may absorb more heat than lighter colors.
