I agree, don't use polyurethane, it peels off after half a season. Yacht
Varnish is much better, but on a deck, I would be inclined to scrape it off
and use Martin's hardwood oil. You can then keep putting it on each season
and it will last for ages.
Quilly,

Have a look at the new Anti-Spyware program CounterSpy
I recommend it, it worked for me at,

I have used with much success Sikenns (sp?) Ceetol. 2 coats of HLS and a
finishing coat of Filter 7. If weather is OK can get all 3 coats on in a
day.

It is permeable so does not discolour and lift like varnish. After 2
summers and 1 winter it is still looking OK. Maintenance is a doddle.

It is a stain, so use a light colour - light pine. Not high gloss so won't
give a 'classic yacht' finish but it is acceptable and it more fun to go
sailing than to varnish.
