  • If the surface is mostly flat then a belt sander will do the job.

    If it is not then orbital sander or detail sander.

    I used the Black & Decker Mouse for a chair and it took a while but did a good job.

  • What power electric sander is suitable for the job .Can anyone recommend one that will not cost a small fortune. Maybe it would be cheaper to purchase another garden bench allowing for the time and effort involved in stripping it down.
