Want to finish some lawn chairs and a picnic table so such that the finish will last more that a year or two. I have used the standard wood sealers, but they don't seam to last much longer than 6 or 8 months.

The key to your question is "treated" lumber. As it has been treated it does not rot in the traditional sense. Therefore your coating is basically for apperance. There are some good products for decks which offer decent apperance and some actual protection. Flood makes one which is a water emulsified oil which is intended to last 2 years without recoat. I've used it effectively on a treated deck and it gives a cedar like color. The water seal stuff is little more than aluminum sterate in a solvent base. Once the solvent evaporates the sterate almost blows away and that nice water beading is gone with no residual protection. Thus the frequent recoat.
The other choices are wood protective finishes being varnish, paint or polyurethane. You know about paint so we'll leave that one. Varnish is esentially seed oil ,linseed or tung, tung being better, which is reduced by boiling, with the addition of some solvent and hardner. Varnish, being plant product, will bond to the wood and protect around any scratches which go through the coating. Polyurethane is plastic. It has that nice plastic shine when new. If you get a scratch through the coating water will infiltrate under the coating and lift big sheets of it. It will also leach the tannin out of the wood and make those nice black spots at the scratch. Polyurethane cannot be repaired varnish can. Polyurethane must be sanded off. Varnish has liquid removers available.Getting the drift here. Varnish is a traditional coating which was used on boats for centuries before polyurethane existed. Both products are subject to UV damage with varnish
being reparable and poly just cloudy. Use plant product on wood use plastic on plastic.

1. It is real because many of his non 100 innings were a key to achievements for Local indian native. 2. Definitely bogus because it was a unforgettable go with and a first of its type. 3. Actual because he has performed above 450 suits and it would definitely impact his regular but it is still well above 48. 4. Actual. Indians depend on him a lot. 5. May be. It is complex to say. Relatively he has performed more suits so obviously he would have more benefits to his name. 6. Same solutions as the fifth. 7. Probably not. There are many more complicated players than him. 8. I don't think so. He has got many other chicken ans individual wide range ratings. 9. Until 2008. Then there was a lot of competitors. Sehwag, Gambhir, Yuvraj, Dhoni and now Kohli. But he is truly a tale. 10. Yes. Because until 1990s not many ODI mathces were performed. He and ODI have started together.

Polyuerthine will probably last longer being more water resistant, but to get it to last years, you need to apply several coats, waiting until the previous coat dries first. There are also formulas now that are said to be sun / heat resistant too.

If its 'treated' lumber you shouldn't have to use sealers that often (or at all). But most cases you'll have to 're-treat' every year.
