Probably a Spar Varnish applied every year or two as needed. The sun light
is the problem here. If you could shade the door from sun light the finish
would last longer.

You might want to think in terms of deck finishes. The problems with UV
are the same if the wood is different (though not always). Take a look
at Cabot and Sikkens products which have very good websites. I have
been using a product called Superdeck on my redwood deck with some
success. It is an oil based (tung?) product with pigments (e.g. Cedar)
to keep the dreaded grays away.
