I've been searching for information about what stain/sealer to use for a new redwood fence and new teak patio furniture. I've read to stay away from the big box stores. I've also read good comments about Woodrich WoodTux. The goal for both is low maintenance.
For the fence we'd like a somewhat darker color than natural. Penofin has a color called Transparent Redwood that looks appealing. Not sure if WT has something similar. Is WT the way to go for the fence? If I apply two coats, will that lower the maintenance?
For the teak furniture, they are still in the box in the garage. I want to stain/seal them before taking them out to the patio. We'd like to have more a a natural teak color for the furniture. I've seen that Woodrich has a product called Woodrich Brand Hardwood Wiping Stain. Is the Hardwood wiping stain equally good as WT, or is there other products to consider? Any recommended color if using this product?
Thanks.
