What colour wood preserver do you use on your garden shed and fences? I use golden chestnut 'cos it's a relatively light shade and looks good when the sun shines on it. Dark colours would make the garden look small I reckon. Or are you an "old school" type who uses good old creasote and engine oil, still quite like the smell of that in a prvy sort of way. Boy does it kill anything living (flora) that it should fall on.

My shed is the garden structure equivalent Peter Crouch, so if I was to sing the "My garden shed" song (which I don't, because I like tinpot grounds) it would probably be true. Maybe Frankie can shed some light on what colour the varnish is: Attachments:

Oh, Roscoe, Roscoe; for your temptings and tauntings; there in Hell shall be a price! Why, sudden we have such discourse and discussion of Cuprinol and Ronseal for their relative merits that indeed our board headers do take on the air of the BBC Gardeners World classifieds section. ;D

Bloody tinpot, that's what it is! Oh, wait... You know you've made it when you can afford to have a shed. You know you are past it when you actually own one. ;D

What do people have in their sheds?
All I have in mine is a fridge/freezer and a bike on a turbo trainer.
Yes, it's a blatent ploy to increase my standing in the posters league, but it also gives everyone else a chance to join in.
Afterall, I'm not "sheddist" ;D

I don't have a shed but do have a garage (or garridge, see dialect thread) which contains everything but a car. General gardening stuff, bikes and various child-related equipment.
There, didn't mention the bodies once...

my lean-to, part brick, part dust and breezeblock carbuncle contains a drum kit and a number of dead tellys. It has accoustics similar to the shed at St Georges! So much so that I am able to communicate directly with chums in Gambia!

My shed contains two old bikes, a lawn-mower, various unused tools, some spare carpet, some paint but most importantly - approximately 50 pints of home brewed, errr, something sort of resembling beer(ish).

Well if the beer turns out to be of too dubious quality you could use it as wood preserver. ;D

Mine is full (literally full) of rubbish, including a weight machine thing, an old bass amp, lots of old records and other such junk.
It's easier to get into than the loft, so it bears the clutter burden.

So. Anyone out there got TWO sheds??...... Me!!!! Although the roof is totally buggered on one of them. I hasten to add, I didn't install them - they were here when we moved in.

What do people have in their sheds? All I have in mine is a fridge/freezer and a bike on a turbo trainer. Main shed contains an electric oven and gas hob (still waiting to be installed in the kitchen after 5.5 years. A couple of garden loungers. 2 Bicycles. Umpteen tents and other camping equipment. Left over loft insulation. Possibly lots of other stuff we don't know about - anyway, a lot of stuff to fit in an 8' x 6' shed. The other shed contains lots of leftover paint, garden spades, forks, strimmer, mower etc etc.
