Log cabin paint is a specialist coating for exterior wood and timber cabins, designed to shield, seal, and enhance outdoor surfaces. It offers lasting protection from harsh weather, helping you keep your cabin looking fresh while preventing cracking, peeling, or rot.
At The Paint Shed, we stock both water-based paint and solvent-based paints suitable for every project, whether you’re refreshing an interior wall or protecting an exterior surface exposed to rain and direct sunlight. These products are ideal for anyone looking to transform their outdoor space with a durable, practical, and easy-to-maintain finish.
If you’re after paint for log cabins that looks beautiful and outperforms the rest, our range includes everything from breathable stains to fully opaque finishes, giving you the flexibility to treat and protect every part of your cabin with confidence.
Using the right cabin paint means your cabin will stay structurally sound while looking great for years to come. Wood is naturally porous and expands or contracts with the weather, so choosing a paint designed for timber helps it stay protected in every season.
Trade-quality paint from The Paint Shed offers:
-
Shielding against UV rays, moisture, and algae
-
Flexible finishes that move with timber to reduce cracking
-
A smooth coat that seals the grain for a clean, even look
-
Excellent adhesion across multiple faces, including cladding, fascias, and trims
-
Fast drying time for quicker project turnaround
-
A wide choice of colours available for both classic and modern cabins

Getting a professional finish starts with the right preparation. Here’s how to treat and apply your wood cabin paint for the best results:
-
Prepare the surface by cleaning dirt, algae, and old paint from the timber. If needed, sand rough areas to create an even base.
-
Use wood preservers to safeguard against rot and insects. Allow them to dry fully before painting.
-
Spread an undercoat to help the paint stick and ensure even coverage. This step is especially important on bare wood or previously untreated surfaces.
-
Paint evenly. Use a brush or roller to apply 2 full layers, working with the grain of the wood.
-
Check drying time. Most water-based paints dry in 2-4 hours. Traditional oil coatings take longer but offer enhanced durability and shine.
Each product’s datasheet includes full instructions on curing time, coverage, and coat requirements. Following these steps will help safeguard and revamp your cabin with long-lasting protection.
