Are we on the same page with acrylic stain for cedar too?

Lorri D & Drew51, I've used linseed oil on teak benches, and it did grey after a few years. Sanding and refinishing brought them back to a nice wood tone. Lat year I used Danish oil.. very , very expensive and took multiple coats to get a rich wooden look. Not sure how long it will last. Would be cost prohibitive for raised beds if reapplication is needed every two to three years.

Worth, no building projects for me. I know better

Buzz, Hermitian I have neighborhood restrictions. I'm thinking of erecting a raised bed on the setback, the ready made slide together kind in case I have to move it someday. I'd be stretching it to use blocks. Don't want to invite the inspector.
