RECYCLE A GARDEN BENCH

This is a green Instructable. If you have an old garden bench or park bench that is falling apart, "RECYCLE IT". This instructable only takes a few tools and a small amount of new wood such as oak, cypress, redwood, or even treated wood. I like oak hardwood myself, it just really looks nice after it is finished.

try useing recyled pallet wood, as most shipping pallets are mage from mixed hardwoods. you will need a table saw to rip them into the long slats that you will need.

I did this as well a few years ago. We had a similar looking bench in a garden a shady garden in the backyard. After years of wet summers, freezing winters, and hungry insects the boards were rotten. We used cherry wood for the new slats, 4 years on(covering it up during the winter) and it's still looking great.
