<p style="font-size:16px">Over the last couple of years this garden bench has been falling apart. I had every intention of trying to repair it but the wood was so badly rotted it was going to be difficult to fix the broken battens.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It is a bench that was bought for our Rothersthorpe house so it is probably 20+ years old so it has lasted well.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I will attempt to repair it and will then put it at the edge of the veg plot where the beehive used to be.</p>

<p style="font-size:16px">The replacement is made from recycled plastic and therefore should outlast me. Recycled garden furniture isn't as cheap as wood but it doesn't require a any maintenance other than a clean once a year.</p>

<p>I like the colour too. It was either brown or duck egg blue.</p>
