Raising the hight of prep' tables?

Postby Swindon_Ed » 02 May 2013, 15:43

I was going to go and get some plastic tubing cut to raise the hight of my prep' tables and i was wondering if anyone else has done this and if so how long a peice of tube did you get to raise the table up?

I'm thinking 1 + 1/2 ft should do the trick considering the original legs fo the table will sink into it a bit?

I found out that wickes sell 2m long tubes so i've cut them into 4 and looking at it, they should raise the table nicely :D For £1.50, i think it'll be money well spent, as i don't want to go another season hunched over all weekend.

Looking at tables myself any tips or advice on ideal lengths, height

None of the ones I've seen list adjustable deck height

Those look the same as the ones I've got, but look around online as I'm sure i got mine quite a bit cheaper.

I've not seen any adjustable tables, which is why I've gone for a home made setup. I saw a few others with a similar setup last year which seemed to work well.

All going to come down to your best working height, I have some white plumbing pipe but was also fortunate enough to get some metal extenders when i purchased my sink setup for the outside kitchen. The metal ones have discs on the bottom to make them more stable too! They are a real life saver which ever way you go!
