Construction

Beer Pong Table

  • The 4x8 sheet of plywood needs to be ripped in half giving the dimensions of 2x8. (8feet is the regulation Beer Pong table size)
  • Next strategically mark out drill points on the plywood. On a beer pong table, you want all of the cup rims just to barely touch. To do this, measure the diameter of the cup. The center of each drill point should not be less than this measurement.
  • Drill all 20 beer pong cup holes.
  • A nice touch is to also drill two extra holes for wash cups. These are used to wash the ping pong balls if they get dirty.
  • Next build a pvc pontoon out of the pipe and elbows. Cut the pipe with a hacksaw and glue together. The finished outside dimensions should be 2feet by 8feet.
  • Now place the plywood on top of the PVC pontoons.
  • Next drill holes on either side of the 4in PVC pipe and run a zip tie through the top of the plywood and around the PVC pipe. Repeat until the top is securely fastened to the PVC.
