Wood type for garden bench?

mitchmunden · 2020-08-08T10:12:35+00:00

I need to replace the rotten wood on my steel framed garden bench but am un sure what type to use. I don't intend to paint it (as I've wasted too much time painting wood in the past and it still eventually goes rotten). So I'm looking for a maintenance free, or nearly, solution. I heard that treated oak is good and also recycled plastic imitation wood is okay. What would yo u recommend? Also when I cut the ends I assume I'll need to treat the ends but what is t he best treatment? Thanks

It is, unless you find a tree to use, or some oak pallets.
