Everything needed to clean, protect, preserve, and waterproof your garden shed.
A wooden shed is one of the most useful garden buildings — perfect for storing tools, bikes, or garden furniture. But being outside all year round, it's constantly exposed to the weather. That’s why using the right wood shed treatments is key to keeping your shed protected from rot, mould, and sun damage while still looking its best.
Start with a good quality wood preserver. Products like Barrettine Wood Protective Treatment penetrate deep into the grain, shielding your shed against fungal decay, algae, and insect attack. Available in clear or coloured versions, such as Osmo UV Protection Oil Extra, a preserver forms the foundation of long-lasting protection.
Once preserved, you can finish with either a wood oil or a garden paint. If you like a more natural look, go for an exterior wood oil such as Osmo Natural Oil Woodstain or Protek Timber ECO Shield. These soak into the timber, enhancing the grain and forming a flexible, water-repellent surface. Prefer a splash of colour? Water-based garden paints like Protek Royal Exterior Paint or Cuprinol Garden Shades offer long-lasting, weatherproof colour that resists peeling and fading — ideal for sheds that double as stylish features in the garden.
