Check the Condition of Your Shed or Summerhouse Go around the outside of the shed looking for signs of panel damage. Repair any signs of rot. Replace worn panels and fix any obvious faults. Get the shed prepped and ready for a fresh coat of paint. Fix the Felt on the Roof How’s the felt looking on the roof? Is it lifting, curled or does it have holes in it? If so, replace with a fresh roll and this will make the interior nice and watertight. Paint the Exterior of Your Garden Shed Once you fix signs of dilapidation it’s time to give your shed a fresh coat of paint. This doesn’t just improve the appearance of the shed. It provides it with weather protection as well. Look for unusual shades that give your garden added appeal. Clean the Windows and Glass Panels Get rid of cobwebs clinging to the glass in your shed. That doesn’t look good. Remove dirt from the inside and the outside of the glass. Leave glazing sparkling afterwards. Declutter Your Shed and Clear out the Rubbish By now the exterior of the shed should be taking shape but what about the interior? Go through it, throw away anything you don’t need and tidy everything you do. Use shelving if necessary or tool tidies to keep everything clutter free.
