I'm making a table for my Big Green Egg and will have wheels on one end so I can pick up the other end (like a wheelbarrow) and move it around my patio, if needed.
The wheels I bought will accept a 5/8" axle. The 5/8" rod at HD was too big. I have a 1/2" PVC pipe that fits perfectly. I was thinking of using the PVC as a sleeve for a metal rod inside. My concern is that the PVC will get crushed over time and disintegrate even if the cart is usually stationary.
I'd like your thoughts if the PVC will be sufficient. I plan on running the PVC from one leg of the table to other, slide a metal rod inside it, then slide the wheels on over the PVC (and come up with a way to capture the wheels.
Thanks
Paul
