Best Finish for Decking?

[Mark A]

What's the best finish for new pressure treated deck boards?

Don't mention Cuprinol decking stain because that stuff is the reason why I'm replacing the deck in the first place!

Cheers,
Mark

Mine was treated, and I painted it with a good preservative 3 or 4 times and soaked all cut ends for several days before use. It's 12 or 13 years old, west facing in Cornwall, and two pieces are just showing a little rot in the ends. All I've done is pressure washed it.

Ronseal make a decking oil? Never used it so can't sat say what it is like.

I like Liberon decking oil: applies nicely, lasts well.
