Coating for yellow cedar deck?

Any suggestions? the tannins and oils make it virtually impossible for
anything that I've applied to stick for more than 4-6 months and strip and
reapply. I'm in the northwest, wet wet wet....... I've been using Cetol
ect. A penetrating oil? Brand? thanks

'REZ', by pittsburgh paint, is made specifically for cedar. works good on
redwood, too.

I use the original Blue Label stuff.
I use a painting pad and a 4-5 ft handle to apply it. No sense
getting down on the knees if I can avoid it. A tray for a paint
roller works great to dip the pad in. I've tried a roller to apply
it but I find it slower than the pad and it wastes expensive oil due
to dripping down between the boards. I can apply it to 700
sq-ft in a couple of hours easy.
Good luck.

I'm in Oregon and I know exactly what you mean.
I've been using Penofin on my deck and I'm very happy with the
performance. It comes in a variety of colors to suit your taste too.
HD no longer carries it and Parr Lumber had the best price last year.

I'm not thrilled about the results with Cetol in two different applications.
If I had cedar, I'd use Penofin oil. I've used it on outdoor furniture with
very good results. Good UV protection also.
