New life for old garden chairs

A friend has kindly given me two reclining wooden garden chairs, rescued from a skip. They are in a solid condition, just need some TLC.

I have started sanding them down and once completed will apply some preservative. They were dark brown in colour, so I will probably go with that again.

Anyone have any suggestions/favourites as to which to buy?

Thanks guys.

    My teak chairs were treated with linseed oil. They have aged to a grey colour. Have retreated them a few times over 15 years.
