Deck table

[Lazy Daze]

i think just the poles end to end we will measure...the base openings should be the same...

NO?:huh:

Yes, I would think the poles would be the same diameter (and, of course, also the hole). But, hey, I've seen weirder things - probably worth the extra 3 seconds to be sure.

OK... i'll measure the openings also WIDTH AND DEPTH....:thumbsup:.....

There are multiple pipe leg diameters. There is one that is about 2 7/8" and another that is about 2 1/4". I say about because I seem to recall the sales literature on the legs is based on the tube's pre taper diameter. I believe the smaller is utilized on most of the smaller cockpit tables like the frisbee on the 2xx and the 17 x 31"rectangle table on the 3xxs.

Yes, you're right about that. I don't know what the actual sizes are, but that sounds about right, Henry. The small frisbee tables do indeed have a smaller diameter. The '09 250DA / '10 260DA have a larger, wooden table though. So, I think it will use the same diameter leg as Bill's... I think...

I was "out and about" so I stopped by the store.

The hole diameter is a touch under 2-1/4" (between 2-3/8" and 2-13/64). The middle of the post diameter (non tapered part) is 2-1/4". There must be at least three sizes then, because although I didn't measure it, I'm 100% positive the L-Shaped post is smaller in diameter (I have that style on my boat).

The post from an '09 250DA ('10 260DA) measures 30-1/4". The post from a '10 260SD is 25".

Dennis...How did you measure the middle of the pole...?
A caliper...?.

Yes, I made it easy on myself!

If you don't have one, wrap a sheet of paper squarely around the pole and make a mark to show the circumference. Then measure it down to the sixteenth. Divide the top number of the fraction by the bottom to convert to decimal... for ex: 7-1/16 = 7.0625. Then divide that number by 3.1416 (Pi). That will give you the diameter in decimal form. In this example it would be 2.248 which is awful darn close to 2.25, which is easy enough to figure out that it's 2-1/4. If it's something else, multiply the decimal by 16 to get the top number of the fraction. .25 x 16 = 4 = 4/16 = 1/4.

I like math... when it works for me!

WOW:wow: you sure do.......

What if i just put a cloth measure tape around the pole and ill give you the measurement. then you can do the math....:grin:

But that would be cheatin'! :lol:

Can we cheat this one time????:smt021

If we get caught, I'm telling the teacher you made me do it! :lol:

Here's another way I just thought of... do you have a vice at home? Or a bar clamp? Gently squeeze the vice/clamp down till it just touches the pole. Then simply measure the distance between the jaws. Sort of a poor-man's mic.

It'll only take a few seconds to run the "math", so it's no biggie if you just post your circumference, too. :smt001

How about that caliper i have with the chart??
remember??

Maybe... but it's not going to contact the table leg directly in the center since the legs come out at an angle. Although, I think I'm starting to split hairs, here. I don't think the difference from one table leg-size to another is going to be so minute that it will matter. So, yeah, good idea! Just make sure you measure between the exact spots where the legs touch the table leg.

Thanks Dennis,
ill be back this eve with the report card.....:smt001

Dennis, good morning,

yes there is a taper at both ends of that pole and im glad i did not cut it before checking here first

measuring around the middle with a cloth measure 7 1/8"

the holes at the base..2 1/8"

i forgot to measure the length :smt021

 

[Lazy Daze]

i forgot to measure the length :smt021

Here's a couple more for you: :smt021:smt021:smt021 :smt001

Dimensions sound good - your table leg is the same diameter as the ones I measured. Well, it was close enough that it won't matter - it just means that between the two of us, we are off by 1/16". I'd say that means they're the same size (which was what was expected, too).

Thanks dennis,

YES I DESERVE THESE :smt021 and more:smt021:smt021

When i go back wednesday ill measure the post length....:thumbsup:

 

[Lazy Daze]

Very good - I'll wait to hear from you, Bill. Now, go take some aspirin - you must have a headache.......

OK here we go....

pole length 30 3/8 " long......:thumbsup:

Think maybe the the table post from '10 260SD 25" is to drastic? thats over 5" shorter
