Oak Bench Slats with a Roundover Profile – 2nds
These Yandles hardwood bench slats in Oak haven’t passed our quality controls, but are still perfectly usable.
They will still have one good face and one good edge.
The reasons for being a second include; areas that haven’t planed out, deep chipping in grain, individual worm holes (kilned so no insects / worm), bent (will go flat when fixed down), small knots or small tear out. All will be structurally sound.
They have 25% off the retail price.
38mm and 50mm available at 600mm and 1,22m

We offer two timber options: Sapele and European Oak.
Sapele is a versatile, durable West African hardwood (Entandrophragma cylindricum), often used as a sustainable and cost‑effective alternative to Mahogany. It is dense and strong, offering high resistance to impact and decay, making it suitable for both interior and exterior use. It also takes paint very well.
European Oak, on the other hand, is a more traditional choice. It is a premier hardwood valued for its exceptional strength, natural durability, and elegant appearance. It typically features a light tan to warm golden‑brown heartwood with a straight, coarse grain. Highly resistant to decay and wear, it is suitable for both interior and high‑traffic applications. As a premium product, the grain is usually showcased, so an oil finish is recommended. Paints can be prone to flaking on Oak
Bench slat delivery starts at £6.99 for 600mm slats and goes up to £14.99 for anything longer. Slats are delivered using DX. Bench slat set delivery is free. All deliveries must be accepted in person or there could be a re delivery fee.
It is up to you and really depends what look you are after. They will go grey if you leave them and that is a natural barrier and is generally my choice with oak. Otherwise you can vanish/oil them and this will provide extra protection especially from moisture which is the worst thing to cause decay, but it will be an ongoing job with most oils. I have found with tung/danish oil that if left outside over winter as it will start to weather black and then grey in a matter of months and to avoid this it requires constant re coating.
We have recently starting stocking Restol which is able to protect the wood and maintain the oak for several years without a re coat and is proving very popular.
