auquhollie Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 How much would "you" pay for one of these ? Material is 316 stainless. Thought about knocking up a few to sell and wanted honest opinions on how much you think they would sell for ?. The RRP is about £325 The trestle's fold in the middle and weight is 19kg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auquhollie Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Hi Pointer, The price i had in mind was £200. With the buyer paying the P&P at cost. I have done a cost of materials and it comes in at £150 for the stainless + Nuts-bolts\chain etc etc....so basically £50 for my time. Send me a PM with your email address if you are interested.

JC275 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Ads, can I just make a suggestion which you have probably already thought of. That type of folding tressle needs a solid bar or pin to slot in somewhere to fix it firmly in its open position especially if the beasts are winched off it up onto a rail or they are a pain in the bum always trying to fold up if the beasts snags on it and drags it around a bit. I haven't explained that very well but I hope that you know what I mean! Although I don't use a tressle in my larder I think that the one in the picture is a good design (with my locking open idea added!) and I think that £200 sounds a fair price.

auquhollie Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 JC, Yeah i agree with what you say. I had decided to use a length of stainless chain to stop the legs from splaying out to far. However i might just add a hinged bar that drops down and holds open the legs. Thanks for the imput. So you think £200 is fair ? Ads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kip270 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 £200 for something that will last a lifetime, bargain i'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auquhollie Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 £200 for something that will last a lifetime, bargain i'd say. Thats what i thought and with the size of it folded away it would fit in the back of the motor for field use. Ads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
between the eyes Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Thats a good price, I'd love one but alas £200.00 is to much for me at the moment, will you still be doing them in a couple of months mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auquhollie Posted April 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Well we got the trestle finished and have had it out in the field for testing. We finished it off with stainless bolts and a folding locking device on the bottom bar. I have attached a few pics for the lads that PM'd with interest before. The price will be around the £200 mark. See what you think. Ads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
