I'm looking to renovate a couple of garden benches by

kits of slats are not long enough.

I have some hardwood planks that are suitable but would need
to have the edges rounded.

I can't believe nobody else has suggested it - Angle Grinder!
In this case with a sanding disk. I find this combination a
much-underrated woodworking tool, for outdoor woodwork at any
rate.

Very useful, but entirely the wrong tool for rounding board
edges. Unless you really don't give a dry brown thing how they
look.

I've had some very good results. But I quite understand if you
don't want to try it.

I'm not the OP. Perhaps the OP could get a good result with an ag &
sanding disc, but I've enough experience of disc sanding & ags to
think the odds of that low.

As with any aggressive sander - light pressure and keep moving at a
constant speed. For bench slats I would expect to get plenty good enough
results with an AG if that was what I had to use.
