How do i keep chair feet from going through rug?
I have metal outdoor chairs with very thin legs/feet. I want to get an outdoor rug bc of the uneven tiles that I cannot afford to replace yet. How do I add to my chair feet to make them wider. I do not want them to pop thru the rug and get stuck.

You can buy glides for the feet of patio furniture. Check in your local home improvement or patio store.

You can place them on casters. Use a temporary double sided tape to adhere that is outdoor use.
I actually just purchased little rubber feet for one of our stools at Ace Hardware. They slide right on over the regular feet. They make about every size you could need which makes the feet bigger and safer for other floor surfaces.
Hi Sarah, here is a link that has a variety of feet for thin chair legs, or you could visit a home improvement store to get them as well, hope this helps,

The worst kind of legs you can have for your lawn patio chairs are straight legs. They will dig into the soil and cause holes. These holes can invite bugs and leave bare patches. The grass and soil have a way of working themselves into the legs too.
Instead of four legs for your lawn chair, think in terms of two. The best configuration is one leg in the back and one leg in the front. The legs have curves in them at the bottom of each side so that they resemble a large U. This way it won't dig into the ground and the chair is stable.
Wide Legs Even Out PressureIf you do not want to look for the curved, tubular type of lawn chairs, a wide leg is also very useful for keeping the chair from digging into the grass. A wider leg leaves more of a footprint, but will distribute more of the weight so the leg does not dig. It will leave an indent, but that will not be noticeable in a few hours.
Keep Leg Caps OnA lot of lawn patio chairs do come in the four-leg variety. These legs are essentially posts that can dig into the ground when pressure is applied. However, this tendency is lessened when the chair legs have plastic caps over them.
you can buy plastic caps that fit into the bottoms of the feet on the chairs or rubber tips as well and that should stop the problem I got mine at HOme Depot
Make little wood blocks with holes in to take the feet, or make wooden frames with drilled holes in (Not all the way) to take the feet!
You should be able to find some little cups that slip over the feet in the chair glide section of your local home improvement store.
You can buy rubber for these or glides for the feet of patio furniture.
You can purchase chair leg tips at most hardware or home improvement stores. They are relatively inexpensive and come in a variety of sizes and will solve your issue with a rug on the patio.
I would suggest to purchase what are called caster cups. These are clear recessed spiked pieces that go under the chair/table legs to protect the carpet underneath. The spikes push into the carpet to keep the legs in place, and prevent the piece of furniture from moving. As the leg does not fit into, but more over sits on top of the caster cup, they can accomodate different sizes of legs more readily without having to purchase multiple individual sizes. These are also rust proof and washable.
I have purchased inexpensive brands from the Dollar Store that are sturdy and long lasting.
change its feet or simply place outdoor rug
