I have acquired some Pine to build planters for my patio & some cabinets.
What is the best way of treating Pine wood so it lasts outside? Teak Oil,
Stains Varnishes etc?

How does one prepare the wood please?

I also received pine and used ut outdoors, for benches and tables around the
pool..
I used a brush & roller to flood them with good quality redwood stain (before
assembly, if possible) and they've been out there for 2 summers and most of
their 3rd winter..
No rotting or softening yet, but I do recoat them each spring, when we recoat
the decking..
