Homemade Beer Pong Table

Beer pong is a drinking game where 10 cups are placed in a triangle on each end of an 8-foot long table. The first six cups are filled with beer and the four cups on the back row are filled with water. The object is to bounce ping pong balls into your opponents cups so they have to drink the contents of that cup. Many places offer beer pong tournaments, and there's even an annual World Series of Beer Pong Tournament played by the winners of regional tournaments. Whether you want to play with some friends, or practice your skills for a tournament, you can build a quick and inexpensive beer pong table at home.

Instructions

Basic Beer Pong Table

1

Place the sawhorses parallel to each other four feet apart, then place the plywood on top. Each sawhorse should be approximately two feet from the edge of the table. The advantage of sawhorses is that you can break down and store your table when not using it.

2

Paint a triangle at each end of the table, starting at the corners and moving up to a point in the center. Each side of the triangle should be about 1 1/2 feet long.

3

Paint the top of the plywood with lacquer and let it dry. Then add a second coat of lacquer for a smooth playing surface.
