A well-maintained shed will look better, last longer, and save you money over time. These simple tips help protect your shed in every season — whether it’s brand new or years old.
1. Regular Cleaning
Sweep out debris and dirt regularly from floors, corners, and shelving.
For the exterior, use a mild detergent or wood-safe cleaner to clean siding, trim, and doors.
2. Inspect for Damage
Look for:
– Loose or missing shingles
– Cracks in the siding
– Issues with trim, windows, or doors
– Signs of shifting or settling in the foundation
Catch small issues early to avoid major repairs.
3. Seasonal Maintenance
Spring / Summer:
– Clear leaves and buildup from ridge or gable vents
– Inspect roof for weather-related damage
– Clean gutters (if installed)
Fall / Winter:
– Watch for water pooling around the shed base
– Check joists and floor for moisture damage or instability
– Inspect insulation (if installed)
4. Paint and Seal for Protection
Use high-quality exterior paint or sealer to protect siding and trim.
Repaint every few years depending on sun, rain, and exposure levels.
