How To: Paint A Timber Shed
What you will need
Stiff bristle brush
Dust mask
Suitable Timber Product
Paint sprayer or paint brush
Dust sheet
Newspapers
Masking tape
Metal Care Paint, E.g. Triflow or Hammerite (if required)
Top Tip: Do not apply timber paint in wet conditions or if rain is likely before the product dries. Do not apply in temperatures below 10°C or in high humidity. Do not apply in direct sunlight.
1Clean the shed to remove dirt, dust and debris. Remove any dirt, moss, fungal growth and lichens with a stiff brush. Wear a suitable face mask when sanding to avoid the inhalation of dust.
2Mask any hinges or windows on the shed to avoide damage from paint. Lay down dust sheets under the area you will be working to avoid any paint splattering on the ground.
3If using a brush, paint the shed in sections. Cut in around any doors/windows/edges first and then paint the main areas, applying the paint in the direction of the grain.
4A time saving option is to use a paint sprayer. Pour the sprayable product into the tank of the sprayer and then secure the clips.
5Turn it on and stand about 20cm back from the shed. Gently squeeze the trigger to start the sprayer.
6Spray the shed using the same method as if you were using a brush – cut in around any doors/windows/edges first and then spray the rest of the shed, working in sections and spraying from top to bottom. Don’t spray on a windy day as it may drift to an adjacent garden.
7Leave paint to dry for time indicated in manufacturer’s instructions and apply a second coat if necessary.
8Remove any dust sheets/newspaper/masking tape from the area you were working in. Finally, use an exterior metal paint on any hinges or locks to complete the job.
