Fish stand protection(guards) Who knows!!
« on: September 04, 2015, 02:02:23 PM »
Does any one have ideas regarding what could be used for the metal fish stands that won't ruin a floor?  Metal or plastic and how to obtain? 

What will prevent a metal fish stand from ruining any type of floor? 

Any ideas would be cool!! Thanks in advance.

A thin piece of wood would probably work

How about something like this under the legs Pete http://www.lowes.com/pd_310986-255-4338495N_1z0ylxk__?productId=3087225&pl=1

I'd imagine those would look a bit better than most other things, which I am gonna bet is a consideration now that you are an ol' married guy  ;)

What kind of floor?

A concrete floor would need nothing.  8)

For tile, a number of suggestions have been made that would work.

For wood, the suggestions would also likely work.

For carpet or linoleum, after a duration of years, I think almost anything would leave a noticeable imprint. The larger the footprint, the less PSI on the floor, the less likely permanent deformation would occur.
