Fence Finish

NB Heading should be Fence Finish

I just finished erecting a D topped (lollipop) fence around the Garden. I had planned to finish it with green cresote but now I see it finished I think it will take away from the clean natural look. Im looking for advice on sealing options. Wax? Clear sealant? Maybe even a stain.
Alot of the fence is not accessible from the back as it runs along a neighbours I know its an after thought as I was to hasty in getting the fence up but should I remove each piece and seal the back of it. Its possible as I screwed them ìn place and I would rather do it right if it prolongs the life.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
TIA.

I take it that the timber used was bought pressure treated for out door use any way
In that case I wouldn't worry about the back I find ronseals fence life ok as in a good range of natural looking colours but still needs recoating at least every two years. Every year ideally if you've the time
