 Garden house painting and maintenance 

Wood is a natural material, growing and adapting depending on weather conditions. Large and small 

cracks, colour tone differences and changes, as well as a changing structure of wood are not errors, 

but a result of wood growing and a peculiarity of wood as a natural material.  

 

Unprocessed wood (except for foundation joists) becomes greyish after having been left untouched for 

a while, and can be turn blue and become mouldy. To protect the wooden details of your garden 

house, you must immediately process them with a wood preservative.  

 

We recommend that you cover the floor boards in advance with a colourless wood impregnation 

agent, especially the bottom sides of the boards, to which you will no longer have access when the 

house is assembled. Only this will prevent moisture penetration. 

 

We definitely recommend that you also process the doors and windows with a wood impregnation 

agent, and do that namely both inside and outside! Otherwise the doors and windows can become 

twisted.  
After  the  house  assembly  is  completed,  we  recommend  for  the  conclusive  finishing  a  weather 

protection paint that will protect wood from moisture and UV radiation.  
When pai nting, us e hi gh qua lity t ools and  paints, f ollow t he p aint a pplication m anual a nd 

manufacturer’s  safety  and  usage  instructions.  Never  paint  a  surface  in  strong  sunlight  or  rainy 

weather. Consult a specialist regarding paints suitable for unprocessed softwood and follow the paint 

manufacturer’s instructions.  
Having been properly painted, your garden house’s lifetime will increase substantially. We recommend 

that you inspect the house thoroughly once every six months.
