I'm currently using Liberon decking oil. It gives a nice finish, and seems
to be fairly water-repelling. On the other hand, it is quite expensive, and
2 or 3 coats are required before the wood stops soaking it up. I've only
been using it for 6 months, so I don't know what its long-term performance
is like.

Stick with decking oil. Much easier to recoat in the future and retains a
natural look.

Never found much difference TBH.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember saying
something like:

Petrol, match.

I've used Ronseal decking oil and found it excellent.
