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?

DOH!!! Why didn't I think of that :oops: :oops: :oops: It will save me a fortune. I think kitchen work tops are around 36" and butcher's block is slightly lower

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.

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!
