Choosing the right trestle

This folding trestle is suitable for cutting, sanding and assembly work, as well as temporary tables that are put up and taken down. An adjustable trestle is better suited to a height-adjustable desk or drawing table; to support beams or heavy loads on a building site, choose a carpenter’s trestle.

Check the total load: the top, materials and tools must not exceed 120 kg. A rigid top distributes the load better than a thin board that bends between the trestles.

Set-up advice

Open the trestle on a level, stable surface until the braces are fully extended. Check that they are locked before adding a load.

For a worktop, set two trestles at the same height, then place the top on them, keeping the overhang at each end to a minimum. Position the load over the centre of the crossbar and avoid cantilevered loads.

Care and protection

Dust the wood and regularly check the braces and their pivots. The beech is supplied unfinished. Oil or varnish protects it from stains and moisture, especially if used on a building site. Store the trestle folded, in a dry place away from splashing water.

Frequently asked questions

How many trestles do you need for a worktop?

You need two, positioned beneath the top to keep the overhang at each end to a minimum. This trestle is sold individually: order two for a worktop, or three for a long, flexible top.

How much weight can a wooden trestle support?

The maximum load for this trestle is 120 kg. Distribute it over the centre of the crossbar and avoid cantilevered loads beyond the trestles, which could cause them to tip over.

How do you open and lock a trestle with braces?

Spread the legs until the braces are fully extended, then check that they are locked before adding a load. Always place the trestle on a level, stable surface.

Can this wooden trestle be used outdoors?

Yes, occasionally, on a building site or in the garden. Beech is not durable outdoors: bring the trestle inside after use and store it somewhere dry. For frequent outdoor use, apply oil or varnish.

Folding, adjustable or carpenter’s trestle: which should you choose?

The folding trestle with braces stores flat and supports cutting work or a temporary worktop. The adjustable trestle lets you set the height of a desk or drawing table. The sturdier carpenter’s trestle supports heavy items on a building site.
