Also, what would you recommend as being best for the above situation?


I'd look at Sikkens Cetol HLS or Hicksons Restol Decking oil in a
medium or dark shade to get close to what you want.

There are various other tinted decking oils the 'sheds' sell but the
above is likely to be better quality.

Then once a year or two give a thin coat of a light shade to top it
up.

Well worth try an inconspicious sample first though.


As long as you are sure its never been treated I'd agree with Pete C.
Decking oil soaks in rather than forming a surface coating, so it's easier
to apply & top up. I'd avoid any kind of seal, epoxy or not.

I've used clear decking oil from the sheds & found it OK.
