Default Old Garden Bench restored and re-sized to a chair!

I got this garden bench from LTaylor recently. It was not in great condition but that didn't bother me as I needed a chair not a bench. Took it all apart (had to cut the bolts off the chair with a hack saw). I bought a new threaded bolt to stabilise the legs. I cut new laths of wood and stained them before painting the metal frame with hammerite and then attached the wood. A coat of yacht varnish to the wood and the job is finished. Total cost: less than €5 for the threaded bolt and bolts for the wood to attach to the frame.
