Treating a garden fence?

Gonna take it out for dinner, maybe a movie- I finally got my garden just the way I want it, but notice now that the wooden fence going all the way around is looking shabby by comparison. It's never been treated or even painted. Can I just slap on some Cuprinol directly onto it or has 5 years of harsh winters and harsh…

I finally got my garden just the way I want it, but notice now that the wooden fence going all the way around is looking shabby by comparison. It's never been treated or even painted. Can I just slap on some Cuprinol directly onto it or has 5 years of harsh winters and harsh summers caused some damage that I need to repair before covering over with treatment? What should I be looking for? It's still solid enough, but does look washed out and faded.

Also, any tips on brand and application method? It's a 6 foot high fence encompassing about 30x30 foot garden, but there are gaps between the slats, so I don't think a sprayer or similar would work very well - the neighbours wouldn't be happy about their garden being zebrified.
