I wholeheartedly believe HideAHorse is the best folding sawhorse available, and I’m confident you’ll agree once you use one.
The concept grew from my frustration at being unable to find a lightweight, compact, folding sawhorse that I could take

At first, I assumed I would be able to find what I needed at the building supply or hardware stores. What I found was a heavy collapsible metal sawhorse, a clumsy sheet metal model, unsatisfactory sawhorse brackets, and many flimsy, plastic sawhorses. On one shopping trip a passing customer remarked, “If you’re looking for a good heavy duty sawhorse, don’t buy any of those.” I scoured the Internet in search of suitable options and still found nothing acceptable.
It became clear that in order to get what I wanted I would have to learn how to make sawhorses myself. The full development process took about two-and-a-half years. Early on I realized that my sawhorse plans required a device to hold the legs on the beam while allowing them to change angles as they travel from a folded to “set up” position. Of course, other operational factors came into play, but that was the nexus. Thus, the HideAHorse was born.
The wooden design has an old-school quality, look, and feel, while still incorporating modern and innovative functionality. With a weight capacity of 1200 pounds, HideAHorse is perfect for the professional carpenter, drywall hanger, welder, painter, woodcrafter or handyman. Since it weighs in at only 7 pounds, it’s the best choice for a temporary craft table, trade shows, do-it-yourselfers, and anyplace a portable workbench is needed. It even makes a great saddle rack.
I’m thrilled every time I use my HideAHorse, and I’m sure you’ll be just as pleased with it.
