Noob here

I have a wooden sheet of plywood that acts as a protective topper for an outdoor bath tub (don’t ask). I’m looking for a way to add folding legs to the underside that will rest in the bath tub when the topper is on, and fold out to form a table sitting alongside the bathtub while it’s in use

    To be clear, the legs would support the topper when it’s positioned over the tub, and also support the topper when it’s beside the tub? If that’s the case, do the legs really need to fold away? Would fixed legs be acceptable? Or is there a requirement that the legs be foldable to provide clearance over the edge of the tub?

      Apologies for lack of clarity. Currently the topper just rests upon the top of the bath, this plus some plastic sheeting affixed to the underside of the topper gives a decent protective seal from weather etc.

      I’m thinking folding legs are necessary as the internal depth of the bath is only 43cm (16.9 inches) so if they don’t fold it would be rather short
