It’s time to say goodbye to the summer sunshine and start preparing your garden ready for the inevitable cold and wet weather ahead.
Pack away your garden furniture and tools safely for the winter months and where better to keep them than your trusted garden shed, which with a little TLC, can be made into an attractive garden feature – not just a practical storage solution.
This autumn, in addition to tidying up the interior of your shed, why not give the exterior some attention too, protecting and decorating it with a fresh coat of woodstain – giving it a new lease of life?
Woodcare Experts Sadolin, provide an excellent choice of premium exterior woodcare products, which will be sure to suit any garden.
Choose from a selection of wood shades like Sadolin Classic in Teak or Rosewood, or opt for brighter opaque stains like Sadolin Superdec in Asteroid or Cloverleaf, which will add a splash of colour and bring your autumn garden to life, even when your blooms die off.
Sadolin’s top tips for ‘shedding’ the old look:
- 1) Start by cleaning the outside of the shed with a stiff brush and a fungicidal wash, to remove any mould or algal growth.
- 2) Once the shed is completely dry, apply your chosen product using a high quality synthetic brush with smooth, even strokes in the direction of the timber. Allow to dry overnight and apply a second coat to finish.
- 3) For a finishing touch, add some curtains to the shed windows – making it more secure as well as attractive – using a pretty fabric that matches the exterior.
Sadolin Classic is priced from:£24.98/2.5 litres and
Sadolin Superdec is priced from: £14.99/1 litre – both are available from most leading DIY retailers.
