Decking and fence coating advice

The house I moved into 2 years ago has about 10m2 of decking at the back, all south facing. It must be around 15 years old. last year i cleaned it all and coated with Screwfix nonslip decking paint. This year I notice the coating is flaking away. I brush the decking yesterday and notice lots of wood fibres coming away on the decking grooves. Looking for recommendations on the best way to clean and coat this for the year ahead. Is an all clear waterproof sealer any good? (says it can be used on wood, concrete etc).
The same for fencing, got 23m of new fencing installed. Its been coated with Ronseal fence coated. Is waterproof sealer good for fences, or should i stick to Ronseal?
Thanks.

I can't advise on decking but I can recommend Ronseal Fence Life for rough sawn timber fences etc.
It is sprayable, covers in just one coat and lasts for years.A man walked into a car showroom.
He said to the salesman, “My wife would like to talk to you about the Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”

I use a Cuprinol manual sprayer.
There are a few different makes that all do a similar job
Expect to pay about £20 to £25 but you might find it cheaper.
