DIY - Park Bench Redo

The last couple of weekends we have been working on home projects.  Our park benches were almost 20 yr. old and looked pretty ratty.  I was afraid the wood would break when someone sat down.  I regret that I did not take a 'before' photo but take a look at the old wood compared to the new wood.  Arn made new slats from redwood which I treated with wood preserver.  I also painted all of the cast iron pieces with rustoleum paint.  It was quite the job putting them back together.......kind of like putting together a puzzle with very heavy awkward pieces.  The job is done and the 2 beautiful benches will be going out to the bocce court.
