i know how to make a rael good one just get pligh wood place it on your kitchen table buy a net and 4 ping pong balls and a net belive me they do sell them try it and get good pligh wood so it works the same ass a real table tennis table and yes i know i said ass
Hi, I'm making a ping pong table for my project at school; may I ask what are the measurements of the two boards you use? and what kind of wood was it?
@enzo2123 I used a standard piece of 8' by 4' MDF - it's fairly thick, so has sufficient density to give a good bounce, which something like thin plywood wouldn't. But a full-size ping pong table should be 9' by 5' I think. Those would be difficult dimensions to get hold of, even in two halves - most boards come narrower than 4'6. Good luck! Make a video :)
@yatoysoldiereden I just screwed them on from above - one or two screws in each corner is unlikely to get hit during play very often. You could also put supporting pieces up from half-way down the legs to beneath the table, to provide some extra stability. But unless you're planning on sitting on the table, probably not essential.
@LeonardoCrum I think it was a standard exterior fence paint, and I gave it 2 or 3 coats. Still kept it under a tarp overnight, though, since MDF is not really designed for outdoor use, and even a bit of swelling would have affected it's usefulness as a ping pong table
Yup - we generally stuck a tarp over the table overnight. Once we forgot, and it snowed. By the end of the year it had deteriorated somewhat, and was respectfully demolished.
@123ricewine Used a tarp to keep the rain and dew off overnight. I reckon the MDF would rot unless it was protected - not sure how effective the fence paint would have been in preserving it, but I wasn't going to risk it.
Countersunk they were, even playing surface it was not - it may surprise you to learn that wet chipboard has a very different coefficient of restitution to steel screwheads. Or you may be well aware of such differences.
Two 4x4 half-inch sheets of chipboard. Cycled to the store to buy them, then had to hitch a ride back home on the back of a builder's truck as it turns out I'm not so good at carrying a ping-pong table uphill by bike ;)
holy crap you guy's are ghetto, I was with you at the beginning and i thought the table was pretty good. But why not paint the lines and buy a net for like 10 bucks from walmart?
By the very hi-tech method of screwing from above. Screw heads added a new element of uncertainty to the playing surface, and they weren't exactly rock solid, but it did the trick. Glad you like it :)

Do you have a cover in case of rain, plus does the table ever rot due to the weather?

ping pong tables are usaly made of particle board wich deteorates when it gets wet so if its outside you better get a cover

If the screw heads make playing on it difficult, take them out and countersink the heads. That should make for an even playing surface.
