decking stain/preserver

[sniffyterrence]

Hi all i have fitted some decking at our french house in the Charente Maritime( wood purchased in france and class3). I would like to stain it like we have done in England but can't understand enough off the french words on the tin to make sure i get the right stuff, seems to be so many different ones. Can i use decking stain from the uk as this time of year there is buy one get one free or because of the termite situation in france am i to use the French stuff, if so any idea which one is the best to use.

Sorry,Yes to the highlighted  part.

AFAIK termites will find pressure treated decking very unappetising in which case there is little to be gained by protecting against them.
