Decking oil - That's a NO NO in my books. Its not ecological, not bee friendly and you will have to repeat the treatment over and over and over again - don't believe what is printed on the tin. BUT I have found this stuff
http://www.valhalco.com
Its a Canadian product used by their forestry commission for an ecological wood treatment - 1 coat for the life of your wooden structure (Yes LIFE) - used above and below ground, even for wood submersed in water. I sprayed mine on with a sprayer similar to one used for spraying underseal. Its waterbased, non toxic, bee friendly and prevents rot (Not wood worm).
Its available in GB here

It took me less than 40 mins to spray a double garage that I built out of Douglas fir. The product is in powder form which you add water to - don't be fooled by the small size of the packet - It has a high dilution rate.
I am really impressed with this product (as you may have guessed!)
