Refurbishing an Anker bench plank
Very rarely (+/- 20 min)
Make sure that the damage can't be repaired by simply sanding the wood. If that’s not possible, follow the steps below to replace a bench plank at the Anker six-seater picnic table.
Instructions
Follow the instructions below or in the video above
- Take out the damaged slat
- Place the new slat
- Place two hex keys between the two slats & press the new slat against them
- Fix the slat with two clamps.
- Caution! Add a piece of cardboard to prevent scratching
- Put a piece of tape on the drill at 15 mm from the tip. This will indicate how deep you can drill
- Drill the holes 15 mm deep

Caution! Don't tighten it too much, the screw should hug the frame softly
