Decking...to seal or not to seal????

Hi all,
Almost finished my decking project and I'm getting conflicting advice as to whether or not to paint some of that sealer/protector stuff on it :confused:
Does it work and reduce the cleaning etc in the future or will I be wasting money and energy????

 

I use Ronseal Decking Oil Windy, works well and has lasted 3 years, now needs a top up. I would never have considered not doing it to be honest, if you want it to last in our climate.

 

Nice one Dude!! Will get some when pennies allow :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

 

This is Mine, I can't remember what flavour it is but they do loads of colours. Might have been red ceder ?



Needs a top up, and has had alot of abuse !

 

God I hadn't even thought of colours :eek: :eek: Oh no!! It'll take me weeks to decide :rolleyes: :D

 

Don't stress Windy,

A cedar colour goes with absolutely anything, I know 'cos i bought a swing seat in the same shade today

Now all i have to do is put it togehter :confused: :confused: :confused:

It was really quite cheap, �£140 for the 2 seater, canopy, full cushions AND rain cover, feelin quite pleased with myself :D
