Hey Paul, I'm also new to the net but not new to protective finishes. First off Home Depot does sell varnishes. Verathane, Minwax & Rustoleum produce excellent products and are suitable for outdoor use. Urethanes are liquid plastics until they dry. Both petroleum and water bases versions are strong and durable but most don't posses good ultra violet resistance. They also vary in hardness and water resistance. Spar varnish has been formulated to endure the elements. It's hard to find a wood boat that isn't covered in the stuff. Go back to Home Depot and find a competent sales associate or to a paint store and talk to a paint pro. Good luck.
