I'm not sure I'd do it exactly the same again, but this is what I did, because I wanted a sleep deck that transformed into a table...

if you go with the pvc legs, use flanges to connect them to the underside of the table top... much easier and simpler than bolting through a threaded end cap...
Not really. It might be awhile til I get back too.Originally Posted by slosurfer
Cool, I think that's what I'm looking for.Originally Posted by slosurfer

they have plastic flanges, shouldnt be too expensive, but not sure
I haven't seen these. Are they a plastic version of this?Originally Posted by garrett

If you cant find a plastic version of that could make some from some pvc piping parts

yeah, i've used a couple before to make a bike stand. got them at lowes. they were dark grey though, not white, so they may be in a different section than the pvc.Originally Posted by 4x4mike
if they are grey, they are electrical, and would be found in the electrical dept.

Maybe this weekend I'll check it out.
For legs, what about using parts from a saw horse? Lowes sells some stainless steel saw horses that have foldable legs. They run about $17 each and fold up to about 4" thick. Bolt a pair of those to the bottom of your top, and you're set. Each saw horse is rated at 1000lbs, IIRC.
Also for the top, you may be able to use an ABS plastic sheet.

Not the cheapest for a thicker piece, but I just did a brief search. Might be something better out there.
Lowes and Home Deport do sell sheets of plexiglass. You may be able to glue 2 or 3 sheets together and come out pretty cheap. They are clear though.
