Yea - Stain. I would go with a solid color stain if you like that look. It
will give best UV protection. Semi-transparent would be next choice. Oil
stain only would be 3rd. It would depend on what has been done previously. I
have had good results with Sikkens Products for this. Somone here also
recomended penofin for an oil only. If there was no previous color and I
wanted natural I would consider that.

Hi,

I have a mohaganney front porch and am not sure how to weatherproof it,
or if it requires weatherproofing at all. The previous owner only
stained it every couple of years. When I asked him about
weather-proofing it (water sealer, etc.) he said that he didn't want to
do that because then he would have to do it every year.

Does anyone know what the real story is? Does mohaganney require
weather-proofing, and if so does anyone have any recommendations?

Mike
