To repair a damaged wooden bench, start by identifying the problem—whether it’s a loose joint, a crack, or rot. For loose joints, tighten screws or use wood glue to reinforce the structure. Cracks can be filled with wood filler, then sanded smooth once dry. If a portion of the wood is rotting, remove the damaged area and replace it with new wood, attaching it securely. Sand the surface and apply a fresh coat of finish or sealant to protect the repair. Regular inspections can help prevent future damage.
