What is the Best "available" outdoor wood deck preservative you have had experience with? Available is an important part of this question. I have heard of "Weather Warrior", with a 10 year guarantee-- Also, "Viking Oil"- (which might have been tongue in cheek), but neither of those products is available in S.W. Missouri. Any first hand, experienced opinion will be appreciated. (D.W.)

I have used linseed oil for years, clean the deck and apply the oil with a roller on a warm day and don't put it on too thick if you do it will be sticky, if it has a sticky spot put some more oil on a piece of fine steel wool and scrub it and the sticky will go away, the linseed oil also keeps moss from growing.
Not a pro just an old one that likes the good cheap way to fix wood and this is it. Much better than some of the 25 a gallon products that are little else than clorox and are gone in a month. It will also bring back the grain of the wood in a sun bleached deck.

Pressure treated "End Cut" preservative. Green that goes grayer.
Don't forget whatever you use, you should do all of the piece of wood. That means treating it before building it.
How about just giving it a nice "Sikkens" 2 step, and doing the required maintenance as specified?

Penofin, Red Label. Even converted a contractor to the product line after insisting they NOT use Thompson's.

shingle oil & paint thinner 50/50 mix. Works good on fir here at the Washington Coast, and it will not turn black like linseed oil.

Personal preference is Olympic. It was recommended by a Pro-Jack of all trades and I've had good results.
