I had a pole barn built last summer on my property and as soon as it warms up a little more here in western NY I 'm going to paint it. I like the looks of it's natural color and would like to coat it with some kind of clear coating. What is the best thing to use? Is clear the best thing to do, or should I paint it? I want protection from U.V. rays, and I also want it to last as long as possible between paint jobs. Does paint last longer than stain, or some kind of clear coat? My #1 concern is protection from the Sun and the weather, #2 is longevity of the finish. I'd prefer a clear finish, but if painting it will protect it better and last longer then I'll paint it. What do you think is best? Thanks
