coolphill5

I need step by step detailed instructions on how to build this table including all the materials that must be weather resistant. Thanks

Answer
Ok i think a reg. table is 9x5. i have n idea for a 4 x 8 table
that will last for Meany years. Please keep in mind that the materials i state are impotent to a long lasting table.

At the Home Depot or any other Building supply house:

1 4x8 sheet of 3/4 pressure treated NBO plywood
6 2x4x8' pressure treated
1 small box of 1.5 galvanized screwed

1. Lay ply wood on the floor, dra a stright line at each end of sheet @ 1 foot
2. Cut from one of the 2 x 4's two pices that are 42 inchs.
screw flat side to the line on the ply wood
3. Make two frames from the rest of the 2x 4's that mesure
28 inches x 40. lay the 40's down, take the 28's and
place at the end of 40's making a box. Using a squar
make sure it is true and stright.3 screws at each joint
4. Attach above boxes to the 2 x 4 on ply wood with at lest
6-10 screws
5. Cut last 2 x 4 to 75 inches. screw this down in the center
of the bottom of the two boxes.
6. You could just a cheep net at any sporting goods place,
or you could cut a strip of chichen wire to 6 inches and
replace it with a store bought net using the brackets.

Paint ping pong table green placing a white stripe

bungy 4 cords to keep covered

How to make beer pong table.?

I know that you need folding table legs and a piece of wood lol but i was wondering if anybody knew pretty close prices to all the materials. also how much the water sealent paint is.

Answer
me and my friends did that a few months ago in the summer. its expensive, i would just buy one but if you still want to make it, itll cost like 100 bucks with paint and all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKRZI_Qp83Y. thats how you make it. we got the wood and paint from home depot and we had the wood cut in half to make the table fold. dont use latex paint. those are the basics. if your making a folding table then get latch locks so the table wont collapse and make sure the hinges go on the bottom cause the table wont close if they are on top. that website is all you need basically. youll want a nice polyurathane but you dont need it. make sure you know which type to get cause some of it will change the color of your table. make sure you get outdoor paint also cause these things take a beating. my table was 8 ft and came in handy.
