Imagine stepping into your garden on a sunny morning, the vibrant hue of your newly painted garden shed catching the light and transforming the space into a haven of colour and charm. Painted sheds give you the best of both worlds. You get to choose the colour you want, without any of the work of having to paint it yourself.
Pick a shade you think would look best, and your shed will come pre-treated, looking lovely and providing extra protection against the elements.
At 1st Choice Leisure Buildings, we have a fantastic range of pre-painted sheds to help you find a colour you love. With a choice of styles and sizes, the perfect painted garden building awaits you.
Why choose a painted garden shed over one that has yet to be painted? There are several great reasons to do this, whether you’re looking for a small shed for tools or a larger shed to use as a workshop.
Our satisfied customers often highlight the convenience and aesthetic appeal in their feedback. In fact, 85% of our customers who purchase pre-painted sheds report increased satisfaction with their garden’s appearance, easing any doubts about the decision.
Firstly, a factory-painted shed will add a wonderful burst of colour to your garden. The natural look of wood can be nice if you want your shed to blend in, but choosing a painted shed means you get the benefit of some characterful colour instead.
You can install a shed that coordinates with the other hues in your garden or look for a shade that will stand out. Apart from its aesthetic appeal, another significant advantage is that it offers additional protection.
Your shed is exposed to the elements and can take a battering from wind, rain and more. But with a specialised paint coating, it’s treated to protect it from the ever-changing British weather.
Buying a coloured garden shed also saves you time and effort. There’s no need to spend time choosing and buying paint, then painting your shed, when you can order a beautiful one.
Opting for a pre-painted option saves time and effort, as you won’t need to do the painting yourself. With durable materials and a reputation for quality, 1st Choice Leisure Buildings delivers value that meets practical and visual needs.
Picking the right shed colour is all-important if you want the right look. To make your decision easier, consider grouping colours into three categories: Bold, Natural, and Neutral. Bold shades like bright red or royal blue can make a striking statement.
Natural hues such as earthy greens and browns blend seamlessly with the surroundings, while Neutral tones like grey and beige offer a subtle, understated appeal. This way, you can choose a colour that perfectly matches your desired garden aesthetic without feeling overwhelmed.
When looking for the right colour, consider the existing colours in your garden. Choose a colour you love that complements your garden design. Consider maintenance. Which colours might be easier to touch up if necessary?
As an alternative to buying a painted garden workshop or shed, you could paint it yourself. But is it worth it? Painting your shed takes time, and it will also cost money to obtain the right paint. Not to mention that you could get it wrong if you’re not very experienced.
Additionally, unprotected wood is susceptible to rapid weathering, resulting in increased repainting costs in the future. Buying a pre-painted shed is the better option to save time and money, and to avoid the expensive repercussions of delaying protection.

Can I assemble my own painted shed?
It is reasonably easy to assemble the smaller painted sheds if someone can help you move the panels around whilst you screw them together. However, you must take your time and do the job correctly. This is vitally important for the fixing and felting of the roof. If you get it wrong, water may get into your building and damage your possessions. Not a good idea.
1st Choice includes free installation as standard on all their wooden painted buildings, which is a much better idea. This saves you effort and ensures correct assembly, helping your building last longer.

Sheds were popular in the 18th and 19th centuries but have faded from fashion for some time. However, sheds have resurfaced as a popular option for those needing a stylish, functional, and sheltered space for essentials, from non-waterproof soft furnishings to garden pruning tools.
When choosing a shed, it’s important to pick the right colour. Like anything in the home, painted sheds reflect your personality. Take a read of our blog

Why is it important to view a painted shed in person before buying?
Viewing a shed in person lets you accurately assess its quality, space, and finish before deciding to purchase. While photos are helpful, they often miss key details like framework strength, material feel, and build precision.
By visiting in person, you can:
* See the vibrant colours on real painted sheds
* Check build quality – Inspect the materials, joints, and finishes to ensure they meet your expectations.
* Visualise size and layout – Get a real sense of space, proportions, and usability for your garden or site.
* Compare designs side by side – Evaluate different styles, roof types, and door/window placements.
* Discuss options with experts – Get tailored advice on custom features, insulation, and upgrades.
A visit helps you make an informed decision and ensures the
painted shed you choose will last for years to come.
