## Summary

Measure the retained frame and inspect its condition before designing replacement slats. Fastener location, local bearing and thermal movement matter; matching the old timber dimensions does not validate the new assembly.

## Planning and verification

Compare complete systems for the stated use, including supporting structure, connections, drainage and maintenance access. Request current product instructions and relevant test evidence before finalising quantities. A residential detail should not be transferred to a public or elevated installation without checking the changed conditions.

## Handover and maintenance

Record the selected profile, batch, approved drawings and maintenance owner. Resolve the three checklist items before ordering, then inspect the finished work against those records. Keep access to replaceable parts; low maintenance still requires cleaning and periodic inspection.

## Key points

Frame condition
Fastener layout
Slat movement

## Comparison

Design check | Evidence to record
Frame condition | Show the requirement on the project drawing
Fastener layout | Obtain applicable product or design evidence
Slat movement | Assign installation and maintenance responsibility

## Renewing park benches with WPC slats — What should be confirmed before ordering?

Confirm the three project checks below with the supplier and the responsible designer. A sample establishes appearance, not approval of the complete installation. Frame condition; Fastener layout; Slat movement
