Sorry about this
I have read through the many deck questions and maybe I have missed this it's quite simple, decking, oil or stain ? all the usual suspects down the pub cant agree so how about a Knowledgeable reply I want to keep the natural wood colour Thanks

[tim'll fix it]

For tanilised wood I would say nothing, it will go a lovely pale colour eventually as it is bleached in the sun

certainly not stain it looks awful imo

if you are insistent about putting something on then use oil, but you have to wait till its dry first
