Hey there, I do have a patent I like to do something with. It is a table that you attach to your cooler. Has an adjustable leg to level out table on uneven ground. When not in use, simply folds down to the side of your cooler. Snaps and place to keep secure. Currently made With an aluminum leg and a marine board top. I have made 70 of these and sold them fairly quickly. However with those materials, it is a little more expensive.
To keep the cost down, did have a redesign to build out of plastic. A fraction of the cost! There is nothing out there like it. It is literally one of a kind. Two different sizes are available. To accommodate most coolers. Igloo, Coleman, Ozark Mountain, life colors, etc…..
Made for fishing, camping, tailgating, anywhere you might have a cooler. Allowing space for prepping food or just resting your drinks keeping the lid clear for access back into the cooler.
