Would you believe this summer house transformation is now TWO YEARS OLD? 👀
We wanted to see how Cuprinol Garden Shades actually held up after real British weather… not just how it looked on day one.
Two years later and honestly? It’s held up incredibly well.
✔️ Strong colour retention
✔️ Very little fading
✔️ No major peeling or cracking
✔️ Still looking fresh and protected
The only areas needing a bit of maintenance were the horizontal surfaces where water naturally sits longer.
A good reminder that prep really is everything when it comes to exterior woodcare.
Would you try this colour on your own garden project?

One tired old summer house brought back to life 🌿
We’ve just released a new transformation project using Cuprinol Garden Shades in Wild Thyme and the results completely changed the look of this garden space.
The project included prep, sanding and repainting to give the summer house a full refresh ready for summer.
This is part one of a two-part series and next week we’ll be revisiting it two years later to see how the finish has actually held up over time.
If you’re local and planning a garden project this year, pop into the Wood Finishes Direct Shop in Folkestone and have a chat with the team about colours, prep products and exterior finishes.
