Table legs

Post by The Gomersalls » Mon, 20 Oct 2014, 10:25 pm

Hi, we have a table with our Portafold which came with a selection of dansette style legs but none of them are the correct height to use the table in the van.

Can anyone advise us what length the legs should be, and has anyone found suitable replacements?

Thanks

Marie & John

If you have the original three legged table, you should have one long and two short legs. The long one goes on the floor, the two short sit into small holes in the edge of the locker, each side of the walkway.

You can also use four long legs on an original sink unit, so it can be put up in the awning outside.

Not come across any replacement legs or fittings yet unfortunately.

Thanks for the reply, our table unfortunately cant have the original legs as it has a set of short ones (about 5 inch) which make it too low to get your knees under when resting on the edges, and if you add one of the long ones it then sits at a strange lopsided angle. They all have the flexible feet too which I don't think original ones have from the photos we have seen, hence it would be good if we can find out what size they should be.

Bad time of year to ask I'm afraid, mine's away for the winter now, but I should be opening it up again at some point to do a few jobs. When I do I'll measure the legs for you.

Hi, on mine, the 2 short legs are 11 inches long and the long one is 23 inches - I think that they are original.
Cheers
