Thanks for reaching out—I get this question a lot, and the short answer is: yes, we do sell replacement slats for most of our park benches. You do not have to buy a whole new bench just because a few slats are cracked, warped, or weathered.
Here’s the breakdown. We offer individual replacement slats (both wood and recycled plastic options) that match the original dimensions, hole patterns, and finish of our standard park bench models. This way, you can restore the bench to like-new condition for a fraction of the cost of a full replacement. Most customers find it’s a quick fix—just unscrew the damaged slats, slide in the new ones, and tighten them down.
A couple of things to keep in mind:
- Model matching matters. To make sure the slats fit perfectly, you’ll need to know the model number of your bench (it’s usually stamped on the frame or under the seat). If you can’t find it, send me a photo with a tape measure showing the slat length and screw spacing, and I’ll help identify the right part.
- Wood slats vs. recycled plastic. If your original bench had wood slats, you can replace them with the same wood type (like oak or mahogany) or upgrade to recycled plastic slats, which are splinter-free and require less maintenance. Both options are available individually.
- Minimum order? For small quantities (just 2–3 slats), there’s no minimum—we sell them singly. For larger projects, we also offer volume discounts.
To sum it up: No, you don’t have to buy a whole new bench. Just pick the replacement slats that match your model, and you’ll be back to enjoying your park bench without the big expense. If you’re unsure about which slats you need, shoot me a quick message with your bench details—I’ll personally guide you through the process. Happy to help!
