Mine have held up amazingly well. I did not coat mine inside or out. I have used this wood treatment on other things – no VOC and made from Juniper.

I love your informative videos, thank you so much! I wanted to ask you about the wine/whiskey barrels you plant in. I recently acquired one and was wondering if you have seen yours suffer and decay from the sunshine and rain? I love the look of the natural wood, but if I need to put a protective spar urethane on it, I will before I plant it. Do you see that yours don’t hold up in the weather? Are yours coated? Do you stain and seal yours? It is June 3rd and I would like to get a fig tree planted this week, I hope you will have time to answer me asap. Thank you very much. BTW, I am in Southern California.
