Thanks for the quick responses guys!

Wildwood I’d kind of rather not paint it and my mom doesn’t seem to either but we’ll think about it since it’ll add to the service life. Since it’s a pretty small section, I don’t really mind reapplying every year or so even though sanding would need to be done too.

crank I’ll look into that. I’ve never made anything for outdoors so this is uncharted territory for me so did you use that stain on the trim and then put topcoat over it or just the stain?
