Hi All

Is it feasable to protect a carpet from the legs of my dining room
table?

Thanks

Yes, if you suspend the table from the ceiling! g

You will still get a mark on the carpet.

Agreed, but wet the patch and rough it up and it will recover. Castor
cups do significantly reduce the actual wear, from which the only
recovery is to cut out the mark and replace with a fresh patch of
carpet from the roll of left-over bits in the loft.

Now then, now then.
Cut up bits of the left over carpet, double them and stick it under the legs
of the table.
I'm not too sure about cutting and patching a carpet.

You get less of a mark with the spiked ones. Longer the spikes the
better.

Which will be the orginal colour, not the faded/dirty colour. B-)

I think the problem is usually due to the underlay being too soft and then
the carpet backing stretches or fails - leaving a crater.

This is true but cups with spikes don't let the leg crush the carpet and
underlay to the same extent. Thus the backing is less likely to get
stretched.
