Ok fine, I shouldn't have used PINE.
After a long and fruitless search for suitable hardwood I gave in and made my barn doors out of regular untreated pine.
I guess I did it because I was sick of looking for better timber and keen to make use of a shed that was unusable without doors.
I used to make furniture so I do know better but what's done is done.
I'm not looking for a lecture how unprofessional, unsuitable, or ridiculous the use of pine is but hoping for some ideas to preserve them.
The upside it they look fantastic!
I've already stained them with WeatherGard external decking stain.
What else?
They won't see too much weather. When it rains they don't much rain on them at all because they're inset a few inches. They get a bit of sun. Eventually they'll both be fully undercover when I put pergolas over the entrances. But until then ...

most hardware stores sell timber preservative in small cans. don't know too much about it other than it would probably be suitable for the task at hand.
I am told that sharpening handsaws is a dying art.... this must mean I am an artisan.
Get your handsaws sharpened properly to the highest possible standard, the only way they should be done, BY HAND, BY ME!!! I only accept perfection in any saw I sharpen.
