What is the difference between yacht varnish and outdoor varnish?

Outdoor varnishes might be too hard and prone to cracking if used on exterior wood that is likely to need some flexibility, and it is likely to degrade in the increased UV light. A yacht varnish will not be hard enough for use on a high-traffic floor and wear out faster than it should.

How long does Exterior Varnish last?

Exterior varnish will usually last 2-3 years before it starts to look chalky. As soon as you see a chalky film start to develop, it's time to freshen the finish. Simply sand the topcoat smooth, and apply a new coat of varnish.
