I'm looking to treat and seal my fence in the near future. Is there any product you would recommend using?

Cabot has worked really well on my cedar and looks great.

I just use the clear coat.

If you don't live in a subdivision do what farmers do: Mix diesel and used motor oil.

I used Ready Seal natural cedar color on the fence and dark walnut on the pergola. Here's a before and after, the color hasn't faded in 5 years so far.

Duke has your answer. I used a very light cedar stain on mine and it has lasted well over 10 years. While I did this I was also diligent in being certain no ground dirt touched my boards. Places that had hit the ground before I did this had began to decay. The decaying process stopped after the stain and those places look the same as when I stained. Again, I don't like the look of a heavy cedar stain, so I did it very light.
