Can you tell what kind of wood it is made from.

I can't tell what kind of wood, but it's definitely
'real' wood and not particle board. Looks handmade,
actually. Thanks for the suggestions and it sounds
like it's basically personal preference on whether to
go with exterior paint or polyurethane.

If the wood is unfinished you can use CWF. This product is made by
"Flood" and contains a UV inhibitor. I use it on my outdoor furniture
and rose trellis.
