damage to folding table
for some reason the link is not working directly, so please *copy and paste*
into web browser. "john d hamilton" wrote in message news:... we have this type of folding table, please see picture on tinypic website http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=dxeaev&s=4 the folding edges are very thin and with a very small clearance. would this be able to cope with being stored in a tin garden shed (with no heating) in north london u.k. over the winter? Or would it likely warp and distort? Thanks for any advice. |

Stored in the shed it likely sees less moisture change than stored in a heated house, but if it's getting wet all bets are off. -- -- --John to email, dial "usenet" and validate (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |

Sort of. How does the water get on the floor--does it seep up from undereath or is it coming in from somewhere else? If it's seeping throught the floor it shouldn't be a problem, but if it's coming in from somewhere else you need to find and fix the leak. -- -- --John to email, dial "usenet" and validate (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |

If it's seeping throught the floor it shouldn't be a problem, but if it's coming in from somewhere else you need to find and fix the leak. I would be concerned about storing any kind of furniture in a building that damp. If the floor is wet enough to notice, then the water could easily wick up through whatever you use to raise your furniture up. You might get by with plastic spacers, but I'd still worry about the humidity in the air. That looks like a nice drop-leaf table. It probably has some veneer on it, and I've seen a lot of veneer delaminate in moist environments. -- Steve Bell New Life Home Improvement Arlington, TX |
