I've used Ronseal decking protector(natural finish) on my shed because i wanted it to remain as close in colour to natural wood as possible. i was very pleased with the results. it darkened it very slightly though but the natural appearance is very good.
best bet is to remove all flaking paint. either with a scraper or pressure washer. treat all walls with a fungicidal wash. seal with a proprietary exterior stabiliser/primer then re-paint.
The walls were either dirty or dusty when the paint was initially applied. Only a matter of time before it...
If the post is rotten at the bottom then the only other way of holding it with out replacing it (which i would recommend) Is to brace it either off the shed or other fixed point with a piece of batten or with a stay driven into the ground away from the base of the post and fixed to the post at...
