or just by a sheet of mdf, build a base. make it so the strips of MDF can be replaced when they get ruined.

sturdy base + replaceable tops = win for less?

why not just buy a ping pong table. then when you're not playing beer pong, you get to play ping pong, which is even more fun than beer pong.

$200+ and beer pong is more fun, based on the idea the more you play, the more fun u have. it never gets old once you start

I say plywood. Cut it, add hinges, folding legs, and a couple straps for carrying. Of course you would want to seal that ***** tight. Perfect for travel and its light.

Here's a table I made with a friend of mine

I know we could have done a better job with the stencils, but we were really short on ideas by the time we got to that.

The table splits in half, so each side is 3'x4', making it a 3'x8' table when pushed together. You can buy those legs in pairs at Lowe's, we paid 30 dollars for all of them.

We used an exterior black paint/primer that cost like 16 dollars for a gallon. Did 3 coats underneath, 5 coats on top, the MDF stopped absorbing the paint after 2-3 coats. After that we did 2 coats of black spray paint, then spray painted the other colors in. Finished with a coat of furniture clear-coat.

This thing's really waterproof. If you seal it really well like we did, you don't need to worry about moisture, we haven't had any problems with it. Also, 1 1/2" is going to get really heavy. 3/4 will bow if you don't put support on it, but if you do something like we did, it'll work out pretty well. We just designed it so we can fit it in the back of a car to transport it.

Also we put a StreetGlow Wheel Well multicolor kit underneath it, four 29" tubes...it's pretty freakin sweet. I can take pics of the lights later if people are interested.

paid:

MDF $30

Legs $30

Paint $25-$30

DC adapter for light kit $20

Light kit $120 or so, I don't remember exactly

Forgot to add, inside white triangle is 10 cups, red triangle is 21 cups, outside white is 36

Why not just buy a 3' x 8' plastic table from Costco? They even have ones that fold in half for storage.
