Follow these simple steps to build your custom beer pong table.

Follow these straightforward steps to build your custom beer pong table.

1.Take a well ventilated area like a warehouse and clear it. Find a table to use as a base. This can either be a table that you already use, such as a kitchen table, or you can purchase an inexpensive folding table for just this purpose.

2. Cut the plywood to the right measurements for the beer pong table. Technically, there are no official guidelines for the game of beer pong so the measurements of the table can change significantly from area to area. The classic size is 8 by 4 feet.

3. Adjust the height of the table. Cut at least three pieces of 2-by-4 or 4-by-4 to the same width of your table. Lay the boards equally across the table. You can stack and nail several pieces of 2-by-4 in order to get the correct height that's needed by the rules of your area. Again, the rules alter greatly so the height may be anywhere from 27.5 to forty five inches.

4. Draw boundaries on the plywood top. There are generally 3 lines that are required by most rules : The mid line that divides the table in half, and the foul lines that are a foot from the edge of each side of the table.

5. Decorate the plywood. You may use paint, bottle caps or anything more you want to decorate the surface of your table. This is your chance to customise your table.

6. Waterproof the plywood. It's best to coat the surface of the table in a waterproof sealer to protect the wood from water damage. This could protect the wood and ensure that your table lasts longer.

7. Set up the table you are using as a base, place the set of three 2-by-4 boards uniformly across the table and place the plywood on top. This sets up the beer pong table for playing.
