Replacing a wooden part
Very rarely (+/- 15 min)
Shit happens. Sometimes a wooden slat breaks or warps excessively.
Hey! You don’t need to be an engineer to understand our products. And you don’t even need to be great at DIY to replace a part. Do make sure that you can’t repair the damage simply by sanding the slat. If that’s not possible, follow these steps to replace a slat.
Instructions
Follow the instructions below or in video above
- Unscrew the damaged slat.
Never remove more than one part at a time. - Replace it with the new slat.
Note the spacing between parts and lay the replacement part in place. - Clamp the slat to the frame.
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 with a 3 mm diameter drill bit.
- Screw in the new screws
Caution! Don't tighten it too much, the screw should hug the frame softly
And you’re ready to go! There may be a color difference with other slats, but this will fade over time if the furniture is outdoors.
