Replace Garden Bench slats

[joaniebgood]

hi richchad.

I am trying to replace the wood on my bench also-same bench. All the info here is very helpful but wondering if you can tell me the length, width and height of the wood you used? I only have the 2 ends and no wood to see what was previously used. Thank you.

Gosh, I thought this thread was dead long ago....

The size of each slat on my benches is two and a half inches wide, three quarters of an inch thick and are 4' 8" long as I cut a couple of inches off each end, so was about 5' long originally, and there are 12 slats to each bench.

It may depend on the spacing of the holes in your 2 ends to see if 2.5" wide slats will fit.

I have no idea what the wood is other than it is a hard wood..
Hope this helps.
