How Should I Maintain My Wooden Shed?

Maintaining your wooden shed is essential for its longevity and aesthetic appeal. Regular maintenance will keep your shed in top condition and extend its lifespan. Start by treating the external timber with a good quality wood stain or paint at least once a year. This protects the wood from the elements and prevents rot and decay​.

Ensure the base of your shed is well-drained and dry. Check for any signs of damp or water pooling around the base and address these issues promptly. Keeping the base dry will prevent moisture from seeping into the wood and causing damage.

Oil the door and window hinges regularly to ensure they operate smoothly. If your shed has windows, check the seals to make sure they are intact and replace any that are damaged to prevent water ingress.
