You probably want to use three feet, not four. Four feet will always wobble on uneven terrain. Three feet will always be stable.

For stability, these feet should be located directly under the teflon pads on the ground board. A thick ground board is not necessary as the forces are transmitted directly through the teflon, down through the feet, and into the ground.
