Replace park bench slats

Hi John, Yandles hardwood bench slats are machined on site out of Kiln Dried Oak and Sapele. They are available in a variety of widths and lengths and perfect for replacing damaged or rotten bench slats on garden benches. These slats can be finished with a varnish or oil for exterior use or left to weather naturally. Other common lumber furnishing materials include oak and southern yellow pine. Hope this helps you out, also, think about using tung oil as an easy finish

Hi! It would depend on what yours is made of. I would suggest taking one of the slats to a lumberyard or Home Depot/Lowe's to match what you need. Be sure you know the number you need, and the length. If they don't have it in stock, they should be able to order it. I'm guessing it's outdoors, so you'll want to plan on a protective finish. Also, make a list of any replacement hardware you may need. Good luck and stay safe!

We used 1x3's to repair our bench. That was the size our bench was made with.

When you’re choosing wood take the time to pick through the pile for the straightest ones. They’ll twist a little after you build the bench.

This may also be a good project to try some pallet wood.

A friend of mine used white oak hard wood flooring planks cut to the size needed.
