Afternoon All,
We have Ceder Wood Shingle Cladding above our Bay Window. What would be the best product/preserver to use, bearing in mind I would like the natural colour of the ceder to show through?
Cheers

Probably the Cuprinol stuff.
They do a Cedar colour. You will get a good 5/10 years from it.  |

If it's cedar then I wouldn't put anything on it at all, you could end up ruining it. Cedar is spectacular wood that needs absolutely no protection whatsoever. It will last and be completely oblivious to the weather for over 200 years. Covering it with a product could screw up it's natural oils.
just my 2p worth
