[Greenbuilding] exterior oil

[Clarke Olsen]

If it's poplar, that is probably the worst choice for outdoor use; stuff rots while you watch. Pine, not that bad, hemlock better.
No coating will be magic, all need to be redone yearly for solid effect.

One guy says it is poplar but I say it is pine. Either way it is soft so I need a good protective oil. Cheap because we are covering large areas. Suggestions?
