Hi all.

I just finished installing the fence gate that I mentioned
about a month ago. SWMBO informed me that she likes the
redwood grain appearance so I would like your advice on a fast
inexpensive, great looking coating to preserve the look of
the wood. This is out in the "weather" (1) 24 x 7 so durability
is most important.


Spar varnish. Thin the first coat or two so it "sinks in" better.

won't te yellow tint turn it brown?

i'd try on some scrap first.
