Look at ready seal - it's an amazing product I used it on a Tiny House Deck and skirting and it was so amazing. I've attached a link and they may have a clear coat if you're wanting to keep that rustic look.

Hi Flo; You say you want to seal the deck as is, so my question to you is, 'Has the deck been primed before?' If not, you'll first want to prime it with 2 coats of primer so the wood can soak up all the primer it needs. If the wood has been previously primed, to seal it, simply use Marine Spar Clear Polyurethane on it, let it dry completely WITHOUT walking on it, then put a 2nd coat on it, and let it dry - unused - for at least 24 hrs. - longer if the weather is humid, etc. Oh yes, if you have to put primer on it, you might have to paint it the color desired before putting the sealer on it as all the primers I have used turns the wood a pale white color. Hope this helps.

You are definitely going to need to paint that. Specific paints work as a sealant too, you should look into those so you can combine two jobs into one job and get a better looking end result.
