Can anyone advise of the best product to use on my decking & railway sleepers? I want to keep the natural colour of the wood, it just needs bringing back to life a little? Thanks

We use this one. Natural finish just gives it a bit of life. Not much colour at all. We went for natural oak this year

@dissonance459 well the one in the pic we used is natural oak. Natural pine (we had that last year) is nice too just slightly lighter and a more of a yellow tone than a brown one if that makes sense. No worries! It’s around £44 for 5litres from wickes or bnq but bnm sell it for £26

@almuce412 that's a lovely rich colour. I have 3 tiers of decking so don't want to be doing it every year!

Decking oil, I used the screw fix no nonsense one this year, as I like the natural sunbleached look.
