Sorry Brettski, but that blue tarp is unforgivable.

All seriousness aside, that's just lovely! I like the heavy beam look. Can't wait to see the finished product!

Thompson't Water Seal will keep the deck looking new for a while, but needs re-doing every year or 2.

The only finish I know that would withstand the UV is spar varnish. The down side to varnish is, moisture can get trapped under it.

Weathered wood has a charm of its own. If no moisture stands, that treated wood should out last you.
