Rubber feet for wooden roof box

[Monsoon merchant]

Hi

 

Has anybody come across any thin rubber feet or strips that might be useful to give a non-slip surface to the underside of the legs of a wooden roof box, and to protect the roof?

 

Thanks

Aldi have cheap children's trainers in stock and would look novel under the legs.

Car mats from a £1 shop?

I made some from a sheet of one sixteenth rubber jointing - glued them on with contact adhesive

Lots on Ebay if you search for "rubber feet".

I have used rubber door stops from Ebay placed at the sides they hold the box level and just above the curve of the roof in the center. they come in several sizes, if too big look for computer case feet.

I used some of them but found they perished after a couple of years

I've used them on my two boxes and still going strong after 5 years.

Wilkinsons sell the rubber door stops. I have 12. 4 on each box. They're great.

Rubber door stops (but get good solid ones - some of the cheaper stops have very little rubber in them, and they collapse)

Yes, ToolStation sell these brittle ones and they are poor to say the least.

There's a multitude of different rubber feet available. We've decided to now do away with our larger swivel tilt array and make up 2 roof boxes which will also swivel & tilt.

 

I quite like these with a steel insert.

These also will give a good grippy footprint.

We use the cream door stops from Homebase. They come in two sizes. We have been using them for three years now without problems. I did use the black ones to start with but found they marked the cream roof. The cream ones don't.

It was the short ones that gave me problems.
