I'd imagine you'd be revarnishing quite often. Varnish is a maintenance nightmare, and you're talking about an area that gets a lot of foot traffic and salt water exposure. I 2 parted mine and sealed with Semco. Give that a try for a season. I would avoid varnish at all cost!

Lew,
Cleaning teak with the aggressive 2-part alkalai & acid cleaners really destroys the soft grain in the wood and you'll eventually end up with a very rough surface if you use it often. I oiled mine initially and it looked nice for about 3 months until the oil oxidized and turned dark, but then I just let it weather naturally and it held up very well. The big advantage of using teak on a swim platform is that it doesn't NEED ANY maintenance! Here's what my old swim platform looked like after about 35 years! Denny
