Of all the things I write about on my blog, the question I get asked the most is what garden paint have you used?We really have seen a huge shift in recent years from brown, tan, teak and, well, more brown in the garden with vibrant colours popping up everywhere from Cuprinol’s Sweet Sundae to Protek’s Porcelain Blue. Here are a few of my favourite painted sheds and fences! Love this pink shed painted in Dusty Blush by Frenchic Image credit: @caffeineandcacti This setting is made all the more special because of the colourful pieces of furniture.

Gardens have got it all now haven’t they? Who needs to go indoors ever again? Unless you’re British which means all the time when it starts to rain although no rain was forecast. Anyway… Using bright garden paint colours on your furniture really does add character and pops of interest in dark corners. If you have a wooden table and chairs and are a rubbish gardener like me (think flowers not living past a week old), why not paint them different colours to add a bit of cheerfulness to your garden. Cuprinol have also painted the top of this pallet in Buttercup Blast But, injecting colour into your garden doesn’t have to stop at your fence and shed! Hey, you might not even have a shed or fence and still want to join the Paint Fan Gang! Member = 1. Me. So here are a few more ideas to help you get that paintbrush out in the garden. Create your own jazzy furnitureDon't apply in temperatures below 5°C, in damp conditions or if rain is likely before the product has dried. Low air temperature and or high humidity may prolong the overall drying time of the product.

For optimum results, a maximum of 2 coats is generally required. Got tired wooden furniture in your garden? Sun loungers seen better days? Can’t get hold of any garden furniture and want to make your own? You can paint anything really, from terracotta pots (although why you would, I’m not sure. I love a terracotta pot!) to tin cans nailed to your fence. Outdoor kitchens and Potting Shelves Test a small area first for colour and adhesion: Colour the final colour will depend upon the type of surface, previous treatment and number of coats applied. If using more than one can it is advisable to mix them together in a container or finish in a corner before starting a new can. Adhesion: if adhesion is inadequate on previously coated surfaces, lightly sand before application.Any overspray should be cleaned up immediately (whilst still wet) with water and household detergent Apply second coat as above. The second coat must be applied the same day as the first. If the first coat is left to dry overnight then the second coat will not adhere to the surface correctly Other paint brands with beautiful colours suitable for painting sheds (and garden furniture) include Farrow & Ball exterior paint, Cuprinol and Annie Sloan Chalk Paints.
