If the timber hasn't already been treated, paint it in flood coats of wood preserver. If you're able to stand it in a bath of preserver so that it soaks into exposed end grain, then do so.
Then use a good microporous paint to coat it.
However, don't expect softwood to have a very long life outdoors .
