I have a iron park bench that is several years old and the wood is splitting. I would like to replace it but don't know what kind of wood was used to build it. Can anyone help me?

Many of the park benches are made from Teak wood.
Here is a link for some of the most durable types of wood! Hope this helps!

We used pressure treated lumber on our antique bench and table, cutting the boards to fit the slots. I left it unpainted or stained as I liked the way it looks weathered, and wont need any maintainence.
Check out composite planks.
Some were made of teak, however oak, cypress and redwood are good choices too., ((Oak hardwood looks really nice after it is finished)).
