I'm planning on treating the boards before we put it together. We're in the midwest, and it will be in full sun/winter elements. Many thanks!

It's a reasonably priced clear sealer or you can buy the cedar or redwood tones for a bit of color. On something like a swing set you should get at least 3 or 4 years of protection before recoating.

I'm not sure what a toner is.... Toner just has a little bit of color in it. For example, CWF-UV comes in Clear, Cedar (toner), or Redwood (toner). All three are basically clears but the Cedar and Redwood have just enough color (toner) to give the finished product that orange hue (for Cedar), or a Reddish hue (for Redwood).
