clucker1 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Next weekend (wooohoooooo!!) WIR is arriving from avaries4u. What colour do I paint it? I have just looked on the cuprinol website and there are several greens. The girls have a purple cube so thought a nice green would look quite relaxing for them against their backdrop of a big conifer hedge. Any pics or ideas from anyone who has done this bit before?? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoice Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I've used the cuprinol forrest green stain. Think it is probably the same as the ducks back type forrest green they sell although ours wasn't called that when we bought it. Here's my WIR in said green...

Omletina Kyckling Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Mine is painted in their Garden Shades Wild Thyme and is a bit like the Farrow and Ball heritage colour you see alot.....there's a photo of it about halfway down this page http://club.omlet.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=69929 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweety Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Mine is painted in their Colour Seagrass. Brighter than the others, and I think it looks better when it has faded a little. With hindsight, I would go for something more subtle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clucker1 Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 Now I am in a total confusion...was going to go for the forest green, but really like the wild thyme colour. I think the wild thyme colour will blend in subtly with the conifer trees behind the girls' run. Decisions decisions! Will be out with my paint brush on Saturday afternoon. Thank you.

Melbourne12 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 The Cuprinol colours are extensive, I know, but Sadolin is also worth a look. When we had a mainly wooden house, we used to rely on Sadolin to keep it weatherproof. There's a new range called Sadolin My Garden, designed for summerhouses and such, which is ideal for henhouses. The names of the colours are a bit twee, but there's a nice green called "Alfie's Vegetable Patch". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
