I've had to put a new wooden door on the garage. What's the best way of
treating this? Normally I'd wait for a dry summer day and varnish it but
can I use varnish when it's freezing like this? Luckily it's in a
sheltered spot which doesn't get much rain so it'll stay mostly dry over
winter but I'd still like to treat it asap. Given the choice I wouldn't
have done it now but since the old one broke we had to get a new one put
in.
Sadolin?
From their website they seem to be similar to most others in that they
advise against applying the varnish if below 5C. I suppose I'll have to
wait until a dry warmish (for the time of year) day.
"Do not apply if there is a risk of rain, or when air/substrate
temperatures are below 5°C or above 30°C during application or drying
periods. Protect from frost and rain until dry. Failure to meet these
requirements may adversely affect the drying, visual quality and
durability of the finish."

Fair comment
I was merely offering this as an alternative to varnish and I only do
outside wood treatment in warm weather so had not looked at the drying
temperature requirements
Suspect that you will need warmer weather for most/all products
