Coloured paints for fencing and sheds

Auntiflo two of my GSs brothers, did all the work there was much hilarity and bacon/sausage rolls that day. They are lovely boys.

Great inspiration here. I think I'll give blue a go for my fence. At least it won't matter outside if I splosh bits of paint on the ground !

My son painted his new solid wooden fence in an orangey yellow because he said it gave a sunny cheery feeling. It does but I do not like it.

You have a lovely GS Tanith, but I see that he has cleaned of the Nan, from the window. ?

That’s not a shed Shysal it’s a lovely little gnomes home.?
I now have serious shed envy.

A better picture it’s called seagrass I love the colour.

I mixed some white ash and black together to get a lovely light grey to paint my very large summer house style shed with about 10 years ago and it still looks great. I couldn't find the colour I wanted so created my own.

My shed and bench are Sadolin Superdec Opaque in Jungle Green. I like them a lot.

My fencing is brown and my shed is green- I cannot remember which type of paint I bought.

My neighbours 2 doors away have chosen a lovely grey for fencing as well as their large shed- it looks very smart.

Hi Lemongrove
No worries
I think your point is very valid. By painting the fence etc it has made it stand out which is great as I am on a long street of identical properties
Its now easier to spot my turn in spot when driving home!

Sorry Happygirl I didn’t see your post before I wrote mine.

We have used (in the recent past) a Cuprinol ‘Shades’ called willow, a pale green, lovely but have found that pale colours bring the shed/fence/summer house to your attention, rather than being background and unobtrusive.If you don’t want to
‘See’ your fences, paint them medium or dark oak, but if you want a bench/ shed/ whatever to be a feature, then use a brighter paler colour.

I think the colour is called Willow!

Ive used Wilkos own brand wood paint and its fabulous
Half the price of cuprinol too and used for garden furniture too

Trying to figure out how to get a photo on here

I have cuprinol Seagrams for shed and garage side door, my GSs did the whole job for me can’t find a better pic .

I used Cuprinol 'Forget me not' on one of my sheds. It looks more like a pretty beach hut now. Shelmiss, I might just call it an 'outside office' too!

We went for Little Greene’s Ho Ho Green for my husband’s outside office. It’s lovely paint to use.

We have painted our sheds, gates and fences Matt black. A wonderful backdrop for the bushes and flowers.

My shed is Moroccan blue, it looks lovely!

Beautiful Dilly

merlotgran yes that’s what I was told too, I went for a light grey, called ‘ dove slate grey’ from Dulux, I found a image of the same colour online.
It makes the dark end of my garden look lighter and really pops against the fuscia and orange flowers I pot in bright blue planters later in the year.

Cuprinol Shades have a wide range of colours.

Urban slate (dark grey) is very trendy in gardens at the moment.
