Douglas fir wooden trestle – Supports up to 800 kg
Robust, stable and designed for heavy loads, this solid wood trestle is an ideal companion for demanding DIY enthusiasts, joiners and craftspeople. Made from natural Douglas fir, known for its durability and stability, it supports loads of up to 800 kg thanks to a reinforced structure and traditional mortise-and-tenon construction.
At 87 cm high, it provides a comfortable working height, whether in a workshop, on a building site, or when creating a mobile workbench or temporary worktable. Its 97 cm usable width provides generous support for tabletops, beams or bulky materials.
This trestle is supplied as a kit in a compact parcel (100 × 15 × 25 cm) that is easy to transport and store. Assembly is straightforward: the parts are pre-drilled, the legs are fitted at an angle for greater stability, and the lower crossbar fits neatly into its mortises. Wood glue is recommended to strengthen the assembly.
Thanks to its thick timber cross-section (70 × 70 mm) and careful design, this Douglas fir trestle is well suited to heavy-duty use: supporting worktops, construction work, installing cladding, assembling furniture and more.
