Rustic Garden Bench

This bench had definitely seen better days! But with a lot of elbow grease and a few fresh coats of paint it is going to last for many more years.

Before: The bottom half was sturdy enough, but the top board needed replacement.

Before: Closer view. You can see the slats are unstable and the peeling paint.

Before: Old paint removed. 

After

I painted the raw wood first with a primer coat and the with two coats of Behr white exterior paint.
