Green paint, a shingled roof, double-hung windows and a Dutch door entrance are the perfect way to beautiful your backyard in a functional manner.
HRC Roof Paint
Roof color selection is a critical aspect of every shed. The wrong color scheme will look ugly and if reflective paint is not used, the temperature inside the shed will be unbearable in the summer.
