Leveling a kiln on casters
Posted: Wed Jun 04, 2003 10:27 am
I've been reading the kiln installation threads in anticipation of my own kiln. I'm not certain which model I'll get, but it will likely be in the 18" to 24" range. It'll be in my garage and I plan to put it on casters so that I can roll it in a storage area when it's not in use...which I'm thinking will be never, but my husband needs a bit of placating. ("You're not planning on just leaving the car outside all the time, are you?" Why yes. Yes I am.)
Anyway, casters seems like a good idea no matter what. But how does one keep a kiln level if the kiln is on casters? The floor in my garage is not level, I can tell you that. And if the kiln is rolled around, there's not telling if it'll always end up in the same spot, so I'd have to level it after each time I roll it out. Is this a matter of buying some sort of adjustable caster/leg/stand system that I can get at my local Home Despot?
Thanks!
