Shed Maintenance

Your GazeboCreations.com shed is designed to give you decades of enjoyment, while retaining its good looks, with minimal effort on your part. However, as with everything else that you own, there are a few steps that you can take to ensure that your shed ages gracefully.
 
Red Cedar

10' x 14' Saltbox Cedar Lap Shed
Shown with 2 Optional Windows
and Shutters and Dual Black Shingles
Stainable

If you want the look of natural cedar, simply use an exterior stain/sealer that has UV protection. Since semi-transparent stains vary in appearance on different woods, you may want to consult a professional, or test the stain on an inconspicuous part of your shed first. We do not recommend the use of paint.
 
Treated Pine

8' x 12' Saltbox Shed Shown with
Optional Windows, Shutters, and
Architectural Shingles
Stainable & Paintable

If you have purchased a shed with pine siding, you should apply at least one coat of stain or sealer to it. You can paint it, if you wish, as long as you use a quality primer first, followed by two coats of exterior latex paint. This should keep your shed protected and looking great for at least ten years. If you want the look of natural pine, simply use an exterior stain/sealer that has UV protection.

Vinyl

8' x 12' Gable Shed Shown with
White Vinyl Siding and Optional
Windows, Shutters, and Ridge Vent
Maintenance-Free

Our vinyl-sided sheds are virtually maintenance-free, and occasional cleanings will keep them looking as good as new.
 
Dura-Temp

8' x 12' Gable Shed Shown with
Optional Windows and Shutters
(Paint Not Included)
Best Choice for Paint

Since it is designed to resist moisture, Dura-Temp siding will not absorb stain. It will, however, accept paint quite easily, and wear it well, as long as you prime it before applying two coats of exterior latex paint.
