Sealant after painting conwood

[james.d]

Hello,

 

We have conwood around the house, the back and sides still look fine, however at the front with heavy foot traffic it needs painting again, also there are white areas around some urns that have water plants in them. 

The guy who installed it used roof paint for some reason and as i said the other places are fine.

Could anyone please suggest a sealant i could apply after painting that would not be slippy if water spillls or rain?

The location gets sun the majority of the day if that makes a difference.

 

Thank you in advance.
