Finishing a shed outdoors

The best Osmo finishes for your outdoor shed

The best way to finish your outdoor shed is with Osmo Landhuisverf, because a shed is often only checked once a year, making an opaque, long-lasting finish more practical here than a thin oil.

Paint and stain for a wooden shed

Finish a wooden shed or summer house with Osmo Landhuisverf. A shed is often checked only once a year, so an opaque finish that lasts a long time and is easy to touch up is the most practical choice here. Prefer to see the wood grain? Then Osmo Natuurlijke Olie-Beits is a good alternative.

Opaque with Landhuisverf

Landhuisverf is an oil-based opaque paint for summer houses, fences, window frames and carports. The wood structure stays visible and the paint does not peel or crack, because it lets the wood breathe. Touching up is possible without sanding, straight over the old coat. There are 21 colours, which you can also mix, so the shed matches your house or fence.

Transparent with Natuurlijke Olie-Beits

Natuurlijke Olie-Beits is a primer and top coat in one and suitable for all outdoor wood. Apply two coats. Pigmented colours protect against UV, the clear 701 does not.

Preparation

Let new wood weather for at least six weeks, then make sure it is clean and dry. Give the bottom boards, the end grain and the edges around windows and doors extra attention, as that is where moisture penetrates first. Always test a colour with a sample first. One litre of Landhuisverf covers about 26 m² per coat. Rinse used cloths with water afterwards, as oily cloths can self-ignite.

Maintenance

Clean the shed with Terrasreiniger, which also removes green deposits, and never use a pressure washer. Touch up the sunny side and the bottom boards first. Also see shutters, fence and carport.
