I've had this exact dilema for a number of years.

I tried that excuse for protection wherby you get five litres for €15/€20.

Stay well away.

I ended up having to sand down both my shed and decking.

Once sanded i applied the below product last year and i am about to do a follow up coat this evening.

It cost about €40 for 2.5 litres but i well worth it and in my opinion the best on the market.

There are also a few stains to choose from. I picked Antique Pine and beware it does come out darker than in looks on the sticker on the tin.
