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

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

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.
