Yeah, but there's stuff for that that doesn't give you eleven different cancers.

Ah yes, to get cancer is also very traditional, forgot to say that.

Most of those are also pretty nasty chemicals

There's a lot of plant based oils you can use, without additives, that give excellent weather protection. Choice of wood is also a huge factor.

I'd rather spend $2 on diesel and free used oil than thousands replacing my fence constantly.

I'm pretty sure all of it will give you cancer.
