Garden Shed - Floor Protector !

Tysonator · 2026-03-22T20:53:25+0000

Hi,
I have a new garden shed and I would like to protect the inside floor from normal wear & tear.

The wood inside is not treated like the out side of the shed so I can apply a protector.

What is the best product to apply to protect the shed wooded floor ?

Many thanks

Schaeffers Deck Sealant will work wonders, the kids will love it.

Just get some interlocking matts, like this

Vinyl flooring is quite cheap and not too difficult to work with. I've put it down in sheds before. Also you're not going to be to put out when it gets damaged/dirty/stained etc.

Coat of varnish or whatever you'd use normally use on the outside to help preserve against moisture, and then cover with some of the below
