    I'd oil it teak oil or Danish oil but if you want a paint use a garden paint like this

    Most of the big brands do a similar garden paint.

    A mix of 75% Creosote and 25% waste engine oil will give a lovely dark stain and protect it longer than anything you can buy over the counter. Just make sure it is dried properly before giving it a second coat or using it.

    Only you can't buy proper creosote anymore banned by the EU.

    There are ways and means but for all intents and purposes "Creocote" will suffice when using the waste oil as well.
