Re: Need help making a beer pong table

Seriously, what the h-e-double hockey sticks are people talking about up in here? It's like we're trying to go all west coast customs on a friggin beer pong table.

Simple. Easy. No frills.

Buy a 4 foot by 8 foot piece of Pressure Treated Plywood. Pressure treated plywood is designed for outdoor exposure, used in decks, swingsets, tree houses, and anything else that can stand up to rain, termites, and is resistant to warping, rotting, and splitting. $27 at any Home Depot store.

Buy an oil-based primer, coat with that first, and then paint it however you want. Or just go straight with stain and Thompson's Water Seal.

This will give you a beer pong table that works and holds up to the water. I can't tell you much about pimping it out, but this will be simple and cheap.

We spent more time playing/drinking and less time building. Not to mention more money on beer and less money on wood.

The construction took us a good week, but we built a legendary table. If Jesus played beer pong, he would have used our table.

That being said, the extra cases of beer we could have bought with that money would have made Jesus proud anyway.

Re: Need help making a beer pong table

I am not sure how I can paint it well, and I was thinking about using computer graphics, you think that can be done?

if you are going to use computer graphics, i would print them off, trace them to the wood, paint it on, and then seal it that way. it'll stand up better. and I believe they have clear laminate...though don't quote me on that.

i usually play 6 cup, but we have a variation called Crazy Pong, where each cup is different shape, size, etc...we ran into a day where we didn't have any solo cups, and just happened to have 2 sets of 6 different cups. it made for an interesting game.
