This is a subject SocialBFly and I discussed a while back which I thought would be a good topic of discussion for all large sized folks and the people who admire them...

How to reinforce and fabricate household items, furniture, beds, or anything else that needed to support the weight of a heavy person, or be enlarged to comfortably fit a large sized person. This is the thread to ask questions or give tips on things that you have modified, reinforced or built from scratch!





I'll start with this tip...

Nylon insert stop nuts!

One of the greatest problems heavy people have with items designed to support weight isn't so much the strength of the item or it's ability (or inability) to hold their weight, it's that the nuts and bolts rattle loose from the item (chairs, car seats, whatever...) These nuts are designed not to rattle loose over time and can be purchased at any typical hardware store.
