what is the sq. ft. coverage per gallon?

Well, a gallon is 231 cubic inches, so if your coating thickness is about 4 mils (0.004 inches) then you get up to 400 square feet. However, since you want this to soak in as much as possible, you might want a thicker coat, say 10 mils (0.010 inches) which would give you about 32 square feet. What really matters is not the coverage, but the ability to seal the grain and that depends on the type and moisture content of your wood. For purchasing decisions, I would use maybe 100 to 200 sq. ft per gallon for the first trial and then use experience to determine how much for the next purchase.

how often do you need to reapply this on an outdoor deck?

Assuming you mean to apply Anchorseal 2 to the end grain to prevent checking, you may never have to reapply. I would suggest brushing on one coat of Anchorseal 2 and two minutes later, a second coat, allowing t to fully penetrate. It will seal off the end grain while minimizing the expansion/contraction of the wood as well, since 80% of the moisture absorbed by exterior wood is absorbed through the end grain. The only exception might be if the end grain pieces are exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods of time. I would check once a year to see if reapplication in sun exposed areas is required. If you can no longer feel a "waxy" coating you can reapply as necessary. Good luck!

Can Anchorseal be applied to freshly cut logs in below freezing temperatures?

I wish that I could answer your question, I lie in south Louisiana and cut my timber during the late spring. Had no problem with Anchorseal at that time, sorry for delay in answering your question. Good luck.

I have three big logs from an oak tree cut in my yard to use as outdoor seats. How can I protect them?

Read my blogs (2 pages in Facebook on Sherman Anderson/Best Tree Service.com and Sherman's Spinning Tops.com. I have removed 4,412 trees since 1992 and serve 680 customers in Mtn. View, AR. This week we removed a 55' post oak 30" diameter trunk. It's five saw logs will be construction material for my ground man's new house he is building. Google Best Tree Service to learn more.

worth the cost

I've tried several different types of end grain treatment and this is definitely the easiest to use and most effective, at least for what I do (keeping bowl blanks fresh.) It is more expensive than other options, but lasts a long time. Worth the cost, at least to me.
