Absolutely, we sell replacement slats for street benches that have seen better days. I get asked this all the time—someone’s favorite park bench loses a slat to weather, vandalism, or just years of sitting, and suddenly it feels like the whole thing needs to be trashed. Not true. In most cases, all you need is a fresh set of slats and maybe an afternoon to swap them out.
We carry a range of standard-sized wooden slats that fit the most common street bench frames, including those from major manufacturers like Maglin, Landscape Forms, and Victor Stanley. Whether it’s a classic 6-foot bench with four long slats or a shorter three-slat design, we’ve got both individual replacement pieces and complete slat kits. The wood is pressure-treated southern yellow pine as standard—tough enough for outdoor use and budget-friendly. If you want something that ages more gracefully, we also offer cedar and ipe hardwood options that resist rot and insects naturally.
Here’s what I always tell people: before you order, grab a tape measure and check the center-to-center distance of the mounting holes on your frame. Most street bench slats have holes drilled at set intervals, usually 12 inches apart for back slats and a bit narrower for seat slats. If your frame is a non-standard size, we can do custom-cut slats—just give us the hole spacing and overall length, and we’ll match it precisely. The slats come pre-drilled with countersunk holes, and if you need stainless steel mounting bolts, we sell those too.
Installation is straightforward. Remove the old damaged slat by loosening the bolts underneath, clean up any rust on the frame while you’re at it, and bolt the new slat right in. It usually takes less than 15 minutes per slat with basic tools. For a full bench refurbishment, replacing all slats at once gives you a uniform look and feel.
I know replacing a single part on public seating might sound like a small thing, but keeping benches in good shape really matters. They’re gathering spots, lunch-break escapes, and places to rest on a long walk. A slat that’s bowed or cracked can make a bench unusable, and city budget cycles can slow down repairs. That’s where we come in—individuals, small businesses, and maintenance crews order from us directly to get quick fixes without the red tape.
So yes, if your street bench is damaged, don’t replace the whole thing. Order the slats you need, and you’ll have it back in service by the weekend.
