2nd quality bench slat.

Yandles hardwood bench slats in sapele that haven’t made passed our quality controls, but that still have one good face and edge and are perfectly usable. The reasons for being a second include parts that haven’t planed out, deep chipping in grain, individual worm holes(kilned so no insects/worm), bendy(will go flat when fixed down), small knots or small tear out. All will be structurally sound.
They have 25% off the retail price.

Sapele is a medium to dark reddish brown heartwood predominantly from West Africa.  It generally has a more random grain appearance meaning it can be liable to interlocked grain.  Interlocked grain spirals around the centre of the tree thus alternating intermittently and causing a 'rough' effect, this can generally be reduced if not eliminated by heavy sanding.

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.

    Pleased with product & helpfulness of staff. Overall experience was tarnished by “inefficiency” of courier who I have reviewed separately.

    Although billed as seconds, slats were of excellent quality and delivered exactly when advised. These slats should last for a very long time. Well pleased!????

    Excellent product, reasonable price, efficient delivery.

  15. PeterCross (verified owner)

    Still waiting for weather to improve so I can paint the bench ends.
    The slats are straight and I would say better quality than 2nds.
    Delivery was quick too.

    Very pleased. Defects of 2nd quality are only minor and I was able to use the timber in such a way as to be not noticeable.

  19. Gary (verified owner)

    Hardly a mark on them. Thankyou

  20. ireenesmann (verified owner)

    Very impressed with the service and product.
    Fully expected a more “rustic” state of the 2nds quality sapele slats ordered, but was pleasantly surprised by how good they were.
    A quick fine sand and some preserver and a few drilled holes later the bench was looking splendidly!
    Would def. highly recommend! and will use again if ever the need arises.

  21. CurtisNetherway (verified owner)

    Really pleased with the 2nds ordered and wouldn’t have concerns to order again.
    The wrong size slats were sent initially in error, but the correct size was sent the next day, with no issues and resolved right away.

  22. PeterWhite (verified owner)

    Excellent service and product. Would certainly highly recommend.

  24. PhilRogers (verified owner)

    I bought these based on reviews I had read, so it seems only fair to add my own. I was extremely pleased with the quality and service I received, and would not only use Yandles in the future but have no hesitation in recommending them

  25. johnhey (verified owner)

    Ordered slats saturday delivered tuesday.
    Great product at a good price and a brilliant service

  26. MarionPotts (verified owner)

    We are so pleased with the bench slats. We had been searching for ages in timber yards but were unable to find anything suitable. Then we found you on line and are so happy with our purchase. Everything arrived very well packed and in good order and the slats have transformed an old bench for much less than the cost of buying a new one. Thank you for your excellent service and product.

  27. martinjknight (verified owner)

    advertised as seconds, but found no faults with quality of slats. will buy again

  28. BridgetCastle (verified owner)

    Nice bench slats. I bought seconds as the bench is really just for decoration – but the slats were perfectly good. I can’t say the same about the delivery service though. Website says delivered to customer – but the driver had forged my signature and I had to go looking around the neighbourhood for the package. Poor customer service from the delivery company when I complained – hence only three stars!!

  29. MrKennethWharton (verified owner)

    My product arrived very quick and i was vert pleased with the Bench Slats you could hardly tell that they were seconds. Thank You

  30. JuliaHitchcock (verified owner)

    These replacement slats were a very good buy, reasonably priced and came quickly. I bought “seconds” accepting that they might not be perfect but could not find any fault with them at all. Very happy with this purchase

    I did some research online before purchasing this item to repair an old garden bench. I wasn’t entirely sure of the quality of what I had ordered never having ordered anything like this before but I need not have worried; it’s absolutely perfect. It now shows up the rest of the bench to be honest but I am very pleased with the quality and finish of this item and would have no qualms about ordering from Yandle’s again if I needed to.
