What about spar varnish or urethane or clear stains? UV protection, color retention and minimal maintenance are important.

Nope, polyurethane and varnish will need to be completely stripped off and re-applied every 10-years and that's after re-coating every few years. Clear Stains don't seal the wood to stop decay, only Solid Stains do and they of course get rid of the wood's natural beauty. I learned on a single 2-car garage door, the hard way and finally found THE solution.
- IF the fence has regular Sun exposure. I now only use One-Time Wood Protector (

) due to it beating polyurethane and literally everything else in everyway. One-Time's very liquid so it goes a long way and goes on very easily and very quickly. It never needs nor can be stripped, just VERY quickly re-apply every 7-years and the container leftovers have an unlimited shelf-life.
