narnia Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I have some wooden chairs that are lovely ( from Morleys), BUT they slip and slide on the carpet area. So, I need to buy something to stop this.......I bought some plastic stopper type bungs from Morleys, but these don't do the job at all, so I then tried some cheap rubbery stick on circles from Poundland, and these don't work either. So, any ideas please??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melba Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Would it help to rough up the bottom of the feet with sandpaper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Narnia, you need rubber ferrules as used on walking sticks. Measure the legs and then check out ebay for the size you need, very cheap and long lasting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apple Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 good idea Max another way is to cut up bits of rubber (old water bottle, pond liner) and tape it to the bottom of the legs- not as attractive but cheap and instant if you have a bit of rubber to hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narnia Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 some good ideas, thank you. Chair legs are rectangular though, only ferrules i could fine were round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panders Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 How about a rubber solution glue like Copydex. You could paint it directly on to the underside of the chair leg and when it goes 'off' it will provide a rubbery surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Ive pushed circular ferrules onto square legs and it seems to work fine, I've also used them to protect the end of bike handlebars to prevent damage when dropped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
