What legs for a dog bed?

What legs for a dog bed?

The kit arrived today.

No legs in the package. Not sure why they are called 'Woke Legs.'

From the site - should be around 100 mm.

The bolts are supplied - M10 flat heads.

 

Are there legs at Bunnings which would suit?

 

Cheers.

Would something like this Adoored 53 x 100mm Raw Wood Round Furniture Leg work @Noyade? Looks like you'd need to remove the bolt in it, though.

Thanks @MitchellMc 

 

I had a look at the wooden legs last night in Bunnings - and I agree with you, would have been the way to go.

However my budget conscious wife was with me and felt four wooden legs would equal the cost of the entire bed.

She felt these very inexpensive metal legs were the way to go...

However the wooden 'frame' is a ridiculously thin (8mm) sheet of laminated MDF - the screws supplied with the legs are far too large.

So a thought this morning I'd try welding four small square plates on the legs with tapped holes. I was wrong about the M10 bolts. They're M8.

This means I don't mark/drill the board and she can persist with getting the original legs - to fit HER purchase.  😁

 

Presently waiting for paint to dry.

So, just the original bolt. No screws required.

And so far, no complaints from the new owner.

Looks like a cozy spot for your pup @Noyade.

 

I hope they are happy with it.

"I had a look at the wooden legs last night in Bunnings"

 

Sadly, Julie is now restricted to mechanised mobility assistants. That day we purchased a small motorised wheelchair and tried it out in Bunnings late in the evening looking at the various table/chair/cabinet legs. She did very well and we had a lotta fun and the staff were great. Only one demerit point for striking a wheeled trolley in the ladder section. 

Cheers!
