Staining a garden shed: care for your garden house
Product Not Found!Why should I stain my garden shed?
Wood has a number of advantages that make it much easier for you to work with – whether charmingly simple or more rustic, the variety of possible designs is almost limitless. Unfortunately, however, processed wood in particular has natural weaknesses when it comes to long-term exposure of its surfaces. Remember: in nature, wood is surrounded by a protective bark, which is now missing. A substitute for this, which also offers visual benefits through different colors, is wood stain. It is applied to wooden surfaces and provides an additional protective layer against the elements. When you stain a garden shed, you are protecting and enhancing your building material in a targeted way.
BAUFIX offers you a wide range of wood stains. Before buying a stain, you should be aware that not every wood stain can be used universally. Naturally, we want to help you with this in detail. In the following lines you will therefore find important information on staining a garden shed, choosing the right wood stain and how to apply it. This way, every project will be a success in no time!
Staining a garden shed: how it works
Step 1: Clean the garden shed
Before you can start staining the garden shed, you should thoroughly remove any dirt. If you notice that the old stain is flaking off, it’s advisable to sand the wood beforehand.
Step 2: Prime/impregnate the garden shed
A wood protection impregnation is the basis for staining your garden shed. It protects the wood against fungi, blue stain and swelling. It also provides a good bonding base for the subsequent coat. Apply the primer undiluted with a brush to bare or sanded wood. You can fill defects in the wood with wood filler. Any resin that has seeped out should be removed with thinner. After about 24 hours, the primer is dry. Now you can stain your garden shed! Make sure to ventilate well while working!
Tip
If you want to stain a new garden shed, we recommend doing this before assembly. This way you can treat the entire wooden beams, including areas that may no longer be visible once the shed is built.
Step 3: Staining the garden shed
Step 3: Painting the concreteOur tip
Just as you can stain the garden shed, you can also treat wood and roof cladding, a carport or a pergola. However, these stains are not suitable for floors or wooden garden furniture. For fences, wooden paving or palisades, Fence & Garden Stain is the ideal choice.
You want to stain your garden shed but don’t know which stain is best suited? Stains differ in various properties, including their color. There are white wood stains, grey wood stains and special colored wood stains. Bear in mind that stains are generally transparent and penetrate deep into the wood. You don’t actually want to stain your shed but prefer to paint it with an opaque color? You can find the corresponding instructions here. But it’s not just about the color. To stain your garden shed properly, you also need to consider the three different layer types that wood stains can have.
Thin wood stains
Thin wood stains are particularly characterized by the fact that they penetrate deep into the material, so you don’t have problems with flaking and still get quite good protection against moisture. These wood stains are especially economical for wood that is used independently of the house and does not have any critical structural function, such as fences.
Medium-build stains
By contrast, medium-build stains are somewhat thicker and therefore provide excellent protection against moisture, making them suitable for parts of the house such as wooden shutters.
thick-layer glazes
For particularly important components such as wooden window frames, we especially recommend a thick-layer stain for treating your garden shed. It is very viscous and therefore withstands constant exposure.
Which stain should I use to treat my garden shed?
A wood stain protects your wood from moisture and does not peel. It ensures that weather and sunlight cannot damage the wood. Stains are lightly pigmented and allow the grain to show through. The BAUFIX Dekor Long-Term Stain is available in five shades from pine and oak to mahogany. The Weather Protection Wood Gel also does an excellent job on garden sheds; it is even available in 14 colors. Instead of brushing, you can also spray. The Multispray Wood Stain can be used with electric cup guns. If your garden shed or outbuilding is constantly exposed to the sun, our PUR Long-Term Stain is the right choice. It is also available in five shades. So think about what color you want to stain your garden shed, how you want to apply the stain and what additional properties it should have.
Wann und wie oft sollte ich mein Gartenhaus lasieren?
Den Gebrauch einer Holzlasur empfehlen wir dir aus vielerlei Gründen. So kannst du beispielsweise bereits bestehende Holzbauteile am Holz oder Projekte wie Baumhäuser weiterhin mit einer neuen Schicht Lasur schützen oder einen neuen Look verpassen. Dabei raten wir dir, die wärmeren Jahreszeiten zum Gartenhaus lasieren zu nutzen, um niedrige Temperaturen unter 10 Grad Celsius und hohen Niederschlag zu vermeiden.
Auch wenn die Lebensdauer der Holzlasur davon abhängt, wie stark das Gartenhaus oder der Schuppen Sonne, Regen oder Wind ausgesetzt ist, solltest du sicherheitshalber etwa alle 2 Jahre dein Gartenhaus lasieren. Ist die Lasur völlig verschwunden, fang lieber von vorn an: Schleif alles ab und beginne mit der Grundierung. Damit du diesen Schritt aber nicht so häufig gehen musst, gibt es bei BAUFIX auch Langzeitlasuren, die dir von Anfang an den gewünschten Schutz bieten und die Verwitterung stark eindämmen. Angaben zur Dauer und Art des Schutzes sowie zu den damit streichbaren Flächen sowie anderen Eigenschaften, findest du bei uns im Shop und bei den Angeboten selbst. Wir freuen uns auf deine Kontaktaufnahme, gerne beraten wir dich hierzu.
Staining a garden shed: Wood stains preserve wood in the long term
The protective character of wood stain primarily covers the effects of moisture combined with exposure to air. That’s why you should definitely stain your garden shed regularly! Apart from a few interior surfaces, almost every wooden surface of a garden shed is constantly exposed to such influences. But interior areas can also be exposed to water in the event of minor accidents. There are special interior wood stains for this purpose. Wood is extremely versatile, but still needs protection against such influences. You can use wood for load-bearing structures in small and large construction projects as well as for cladding in various wood designs. However, it is always crucial that any wood that is exposed at the surface or can otherwise come into contact with moisture is protected on the surface with a wood stain. This way you can still enjoy the natural, unique feel of your wooden furniture and buildings for many years to come.
