just bought a couple of natural color rocking chairs. They look like they've been stained and not sealed with some protective treatment. What's the best product to use to protect my rockers from fading in the sun, the rain, and general cracking due to possible weather damaging?

I recommend a marine varnish. Use it in a well-ventilated area as it's not a water-based finish. You may want to put the chairs away or at least cover them in winter. If you can protect them from storms they'll hold up better. Depending on the type of wood used they could have a good long life. Obviously, if they are on a porch or at least have a roof overhead they'll last longer.

I sell some really high end outdoor furniture! Meet me at the back entrance to the holiday inn down on main street, and we'll talk a good deal for some chaise lounges, tables, chairs - whatever you want!! (edit - oh, make sure to bring plenty of cash!!)

any clear coat will help protect but only for a few years then they have to be refinished anyway, have you thought about an awning for your patio? this will get them almost out of the elements and will last you longer.
