Are the bench ends re-useable with replaced lumber?
1728728
Yes. As long as they are not damaged, they could be re used with new lumber.
1728729
Yes as long as there has been no damage to the locations for the screws. Even then, you can just drill new screw holes. It is heavy duty plastic that will withstand anything and last for years. You can even paint it if you don't like gray.

Yeah. The only thing that sucks about the bench ends are the holes for drilling are at and awkward angle, so you either gotta premeasure and drill the holes in your wood or drill at an angle (which I did because I am lazy).

Yes. As long as they are not damaged, they could be re used with new lumber. I've used cedar 2*4's

No. You have to purchase the wood separate and put it together. You only get the end pieces.

Yes, ends are made of molded plastic and can be trimmed using a utility knife.

Yes, and they are made in such away they can be reused as needed. Have been using these for years always pleased the quality has not changed.

I have had these about three years now. They look the same as they did the day I bought them. I used cedar lumber for long lasting use.

No. The bench was in great condition and complete (as shown in images) when I opened it up

You could use it outdoors, but it's mostly finished wood, so it wouldn't hold up to longterm use outside.

They can be reused short term. After being used once they slowly begin to breakdown on the inside. I used them for my basement door during hurricane Sandy and they were able to be used again a few weeks later.

Yes, just as you see in the picture. Heavy duty rails that might need support at the end depending on how heavy your frame is. On my Harbor Freight table saw, they tip the table over.

Rod ends are plain and you should be able to shorten them. They are metal you may have trouble sawing thru them.

The comments so far are an accurate assessment of the bench's construction. To use it outside, you need to give it a good coat of marine varnish, polyurethane, and put some kind of feet pads on the bottoms of the legs, perhaps rubber. If this were done, it would survive well outside. If you DIY, the cost of materials would be around $25.

Yes. We did the same thing. You can easily remove and replace it while fully assembled.

Not really, There is a metal frame that the legs attach to. There is a 2 inch overhang on either end - but I don't know how the cut ends would look with the distressed look of the finished wood.

I suspect that one could use it outside BUT would highly recommend that the bench be given a coat or two of a sealer to protect the wood from the elements. I use my bench at the foot of the bed so have no experience about it lasting when using outside.

Yes, with a saw. However, you will not be able to re attach it in a manner that it will be usable again.

The metal is not too thick to re-bend, but it would take some strong plyers and probably a hammer. I also can't say if the metal is plyable, ie: if it would break at the current bends. For the price, I would try it, and then look at a big box store to replace them with something if they broke.

Yes, they are reusable. Reused them many times after getting rid of dead mice and voles.
