              always think brown for wood, but when you mentioned tangerine and lime green I wondered why you would restrict yourself to a single colour...!

                  Wood stain :dbgrtmb:

                  But if you want to get the neighbours talking, try pink and blue spots :snorky::sofa:

                    I have pondered re-staining my gazebo in the bottom garden. As I stood back to take in the whole area, which has lots of plants around it, green in color and some flowers various color I think of the gazebo as part of the visual and what color would go along with the plants . I have settled on a medium lilac stain, not real vivid purple, a soft washy lilac /purple color. Maybe if you think of the shed as something to complements the area you will come to a color choice.
                    and I totally ruled out any wood/brown/ orange, stains, as everyone and his brother does that.

                          Did you say Lime Green?
                          I've got Lime green panels on mine.
                          I love it.
