Is there a good outdoor stain that would minimize cracking that you
believe
would be fine for children to play on? I don't want a full opaque,
because
I really like seeing the wood grain.

TIA!

I just recently stained my Creative Playthings playground with a
Cabots transparent stain. The old "red" stain was wearing off, so I
painted mine to match the color of my deck, "Cordovan Brown". It came
out great. Its a lot darker, but that was I wanted in order to match
the deck.
