Shed and fence painting in Stotfold
Newer gardens often have plain treated panels that turn grey within a few seasons. Older gardens have sheds silvered by sun and rain and gates splitting where the finish has gone. Both start the same way: clean, scrape, sand and let the wood dry.
On sheds we paint cladding, door edges, trims and barge boards, giving the bottom boards extra attention as they take rain splashback.
Fences are mostly about volume, and it's the posts and gravel boards that rot first, so they get a full coat rather than a quick pass. Gates are finished on the top and bottom edges too, where bare end grain drinks in water.
Colour for Stotfold gardens
Darker colours let a fence recede into planting and can make a small garden feel bigger, while paler shades lift a shady corner. We'll paint small test patches so you can live with them for a few days before deciding.
If the walls or fascias need painting too, combine it with Stotfold exterior painting.

How we approach shed, fence & gate painting
Garden work waits for dry timber and a settled forecast, usually late spring to early autumn. We protect plants and paving, remove or mask gate latches and hinges, and finish every face including end grain. Our Graco cordless sprayer is used on long fence runs only where overspray can be controlled. The full method, products and FAQs are on our shed, fence & gate painting page.
