Since I am not a freshie, now I can live off grounds, and that means no RA's and tons of booze. We have an extra room and a limited budget. Our first project for the room is to make a beer pong table, but we need help. If any of you guys have done it before, I would appreciate any tips. We want to paint it school colors, and probably put a sealant on it to prevent warping(although we are not sure what to use). A cool idea was to use glow in the dark paint, and UV lights in that room. But if you guys have any idea or tips for a beer pong table, let me know.

Google Beer Pong tables and you'll see tons of sites that sell them, and i know there are a few that have dimensions and skematics on how to build them.

You might want to spring on some fairly nice wood since it'll be smoother and accept stains/color/laquer better. TheMalcolmConnection 08-23-2006, 10:17 AM I suggest pine, oak or maple. Also, remember to put trim around the edges. hooskins 08-23-2006, 10:26 AM I suggest pine, oak or maple. Also, remember to put trim around the edges. what do you mean trim? Monkeydad 08-23-2006, 10:46 AM Is this ping pong turned into a drinking game? Sorry, I'm ignorant about these kind of things! :D BDBohnzie 08-23-2006, 11:39 AM Buster - Educate Yourself on the finer aspects of Beer Pong (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_pong) TheMalcolmConnection 08-23-2006, 11:57 AM what do you mean trim? Like if you get a thick piece of board for the top, put veneer or thin slices of wood all the way around. It'll make it look classy as hell.

A mahogany or cherry would look great if it were a Redskins ping pong table.
