What to use under our wrought iron butterfly chair to prevent the chair from scratching the beautiful new light gray cook crepe???? thanks
Form insulation pipe cover! But the Gray tape??
Protection for butterfly chairs! If you look close, rust shows so this is all we could think of @ moment.
Thanks for any help. Under the Umbrella holder. Not felt b/c stays out all winter.
Little clay feet for pots

    Did you mean new concrete? Would a rug work? Or possibly felt protectors for the bottom of the chair feet?

    HEY PHOTOS! I love the duct tape :) Use felt protectors on the flat foot chairs. The butterfly chair, plant stands, and anything with curves, use wire loom protectors from an auto parts store. They are corrugated tubes split down the length used to wrap a bunch of wires. They come in various diameter sizes.

    I'd buy a length of clear vinyl tubing at the hardware store and cut the lengths you need, split and snap on. I doubt anyone will actually notice it because it's clear.

    For your chairs I would use plastic stick-on furniture gliders. Felt will not slide as your try to rise out of your chair. For your lovely duct tape furniture, try hot water pipe insulation, pre-sliced. Those are like pool doodles only smaller. Get the smallest size you can. Cut off enough to spread across the entire span of where the metal meets the floor. Put a few drops of waterproof glue on the inside of the pipe insulation and attach. If the furniture is going to be moved around alot the concrete will eventually rub through. So keep the remaining pipe insulation for future repairs. Just scrap off the glue with a utility knife and repeat.

    If that water pipe insulation is doesn't work or too big for the feet, you might try getting several feet of tubing, cut a piece as long as you need, slit it lengthwise like the pipe insulation is sliced(to fit over the pipe). The tubing comes in different diameters and mil. once the tubing is sliced lengthwise, you can slip it onto the wire leg where it will be touching the concrete.

    Glad it worked out for you. I thought of this because I have one of those ceramic roasting pans with a roasting rack. The rack has silicone tubes as a cover for where the rack sits in the pan so as not to scratch the pan. Thought that was genius and could be applied to other applications. Great that it is working for you. Don't forget to check the feet for wear and tear. I would keep extra tubing for backup for sure.
