Foldover table tops

[Patricia]

Does anyone know where I can get a foldover table top please. We have an Adria Matrix and the table is solid. We tried Marquis, as I was told they import them, but no response. I would be delighted if anyone can help. Usually on European vans but ours is too big for the space and need a hinged one.

I'm also looking for a foldable tabletop. The ones we've seen on Pilote G600L look suitable:

Have you got any joinery companies local to you? I had a folding table top made up years ago for a boat I was working on. In that case a local joiner took the old table top, ran it through a table saw and fitted a piano hinge and a couple of sliding supports. Took him less then a day to do and was a lot cheaper (and quicker) then trying to find one. If you wanted a smaller one then any joiner/carpenter would be able to make one from scratch.

that depends on what the table is made from most are lightweight often a cardboard core and thin top and bottom all glued together

Thank you for your replies, I think we are going to find a joiner/carpenter to do it for us. Great idea cheers

Patricia . As mitzimad said, it's far from a simple job if it has a hollow core. Don't let them cut it until they have confirmed the construction. Different for a boat as weight is not normally a problem.

But not impossible. Two pieces of square section timber, planed to the correct thickness, cut out a bit of the core and glue in the timber. Add some nice edging and a length of piano hinge. Plus some sliding supports.

I’m afraid it is impossible for my husband now. His hands are too shaky for that job now. But thank you anyway

I agree it's possible, but to an unskilled person without the appropriate tools it would be very time consuming. Even a skilled person would find It not to be the simple job as proposed. Hence my warning.
