Repairing an old-fashioned, slatted garden seat with cast iron ends?
The cast iron ends of a 20 year old, slatted garden bench are in good nick but the slats were always poor quality and have now disintegrated. The item was bought in a local garden centre as a 'flatpack' and not particularly expensive (probably made in China) and I cannot supply the brand name. The ends are so nice it would be a pity not to try and re-use them. Would it be possible to buy new slats? Also, any hints on removing the old bolts?
