That is the same as Boringdon Green by Little Green ? I refuse to pay £90 for a 2.5l tin just for the shed !

It's a bit darker but I think it's even nicer.

The Cuprinol range is pretty good and affordable. We use Seagrass on our outside furniture and it lasts well. Seagrass is probably isn't quite the colour you want because it's got a minty blue tinge too it but they do offer a number of green shades.

Willow by Cuprinol. It’s almost a perfect match and their tester pots go a long way. And they sell 5L tins too I which are cheaper then 2 2.5L tins. Homebase usually have them on offer (sold in the range). Cuprinol goes a long way too.

Second the Cuprinol recs. v good stuff. There’s Ducksback which is thinner and v easy to use or thicker paint. Thinner needs more coats but I whack it on with a mini roller and it dries quickly.

I love the rustoleum pink but I couldn’t afford that so I went for a Cuprinol shade. Priced up it was about £150 less than the rustoleum paint, but I wish I’d had the funds for the one I wanted, though it still looks lovely (the garden is painted in pink and green). It’s like Balamory!

That sounds gorgeous! Any chance of a pic? 😍

This is our shed which we put up and painted over the last couple of weeks. The paint came from B and M and was £5 a tin it took two tins for 3 coats. It was a spear & Jackson paint called Sage Green so it cost us £10 total. We did umm and ahh about the green one in B&M that was Cuprinol and also £5 and there only had two tins so we went for the other one. It did dry more of the mint green and hasn’t darken. But we put it away end of the summer in advance of the shed and painting this year. It did paint on easy and so far looks fine for our allotment!
