Two questions about sheds?
Two questions about sheds for anyone who might be able to answer please?
Q1. I've decided to buy either this one with a little window or this one with big windows. I know nothing about sheds- which is the better one and why?
Q2. The website says either of them should be treated with a wood preserver and they sell a few colours of cuprinol wood preserver. I've looked around the web but it seems the colour options for wood preserver (Cuprinol or otherwise) are pretty much limited to various shades of brown and green. I'm not very keen on brown and green. I would like to paint my shed with bright colours such as perhaps turquoise, hot pink or bright lime to go with my flower pots. Can you paint over wood preserver? Do you even need wood preserver if you're using paint? Are there bright colours of wood preserver out there? In short- anyone know the solution?
Thank you for reading. :A

I refuse to be afraid of the big bad wolf, spiders, or debt collection agencies; one of them's not real and the other two are powerless without my fear.
(Ok, one of them is powerless, spiders can be nasty.)
As of the last count I have cleared [STRIKE]23.16%[/STRIKE] 22.49% of my debt.

Personally, we went for a shed with double doors. But then we'll be storing our bikes in it and the double doors definitely make it easier to get them in and out.
We're using Cuprinol Shades, they have a few good colours, but I also saw samples of Sandolin in a hardware shop and from memory they had a BIG range. You should be able to find these online.
Hope this helps.

Thanks GarnetLady, both very good points I thought. I refuse to be afraid of the big bad wolf, spiders, or debt collection agencies; one of them's not real and the other two are powerless without my fear.
