Camp Chair ?
« on: August 12, 2008, 09:40:00 AM »
Glenda and I have a bunch of folding camp chairs we put out at archery tournaments for everyone to use around the campfire. These are nice chairs, the kind with cup holders in the arms. The problem is they all have cheap, round, plastic feet that break frequently and put a chair out of action. Have any of you guys found a source of replacement feet for these type of chairs? I am pretty good at tracking things down on the net but this one has me stumped.

Glue a small piece of wood to the feet. I fixed one chair just with a small piece of plywood & hot glue ( gun ), I think added other pieces to the good feet and never had them brake. The chair came apart at the seat years ago so no pic's.

Theres three hundred thousand of those things in every landfill in the country because of those cheap plastic feet , Eric. I'd say if ya can't find the feet you might hafta buy a different kinda chair. Thay sure do break easy especially if ya get somebody that flops into 'em.
There sure is alot of air around a squirrel...eeyup.

Eric:  I don't have any now, but I usually scrounge them on trash day when folks in the neighborhood put out their broken chairs to be picked up.

The old aluminum folding chairs were durable.

Engineered obsolescence.
