rubber feet
Have you tried a surgical appliance supply store? They stock rubber feet of varying sizes for crutches, other walking aids etc.
I just buy the generic ones at the HW store. I usually get a couple of seasons out of them in Maine. They are so cheap I just replace when needed.

They are usually advertised as chair leg protectors/caps/crutch tips. You can purchase them at most any hardware/home improvement center. Be sure to get a package of 4. 2 to use now and 2 for when they need replacements.

I get mine at Home depot too. I also put a stainless washer inside them to keep the tubing from cutting through them.

I get mine at Home Depot (on the aisle with screws, fastners, hinges...etc). There rubber "feet" are inexpensive. The price is a lot better than WM or a medical supply house and U.V. is going to beat them up, so I just replace them once a year.
Thanks for the tip!
I never thought about a stainless washer, but its a great idea. Maybe I should make some little sunbrella booties too
WALMART...LOL... for real----wallys has them in the tools section ..... why waste time at worst when the cheapo places have crutch tips for a lot less than would be in worst's inventory---btw--tennis balls also work just fine.
Hey Steve, I like the idea of the washers welded to the tubes. I also like the tennis balls, although if one fell off the dog might jump over to go get it.
