I have a hardwood folding garden table. Where it stands is often
a
bit wet,
which means the wood at the end of the legs is likely to start
rotting.

What would be the best way of fixing something to the end of the
legs to
protect them from the wet or the best way to seal them.
thanks.


Someone will probably have a better solution, but we had a tin of
waterproofing (I forget which) and we stood each leg in the tin in
turn
for a day to make sure the wood was really saturated. This can be
repeated yearly.

And once treated, fix a metal stand off to the bottom of each leg to
hold it up 1/2" - they used to be called 'domes of silence' but
haven't seen them recently. A thick pressed dome with four small
spikes to fix into the wood.

The nylon ones are probably best for outside
