    We used Cuprinol deck spray. It wasn't cheap, the sprayer was £24, (although of course we can use it next year) and the liquid was £25, but it was soooo easy to use, looked really good, and so far is very waterproof!
    I Believe in saving money!!!:T

    I used Cuprinol too - only had to re-do it once a year, and kept it very well protected. Good range of colours too.
