Well good..

Ham, do you recall how the cups performed on the wood? Did they fall all over the place/slide all over the place while in the pool?

Look on craigs list for a used plastic folding table. Take the legs off and use what ever floats your boat (table) for floatation. Probably won't take much if anything to make it float. May have to add something to make it float higher on the water and add some stability.



Here is one listed for $10

We'll the noodles wrapped around the entire thing was good for 2 reasons. Keeping the board afloat for keeping water off the board. So the cups very rarely moved.

Passed by Lowes to see if they had the pieces before I bought in bulk.

Put it together and this it what it resemble. Obviously the PVC in between the elbows will be longer for the table.

I'm going to add another middle section on the base that crosses to the other side..basically forming an H.

What do you mean?

Why are you using conduit and not PVC pipe?

Are those access ports water tight? It's going to fill up with water and sink.

What ever happened to just drinking beer in the pool. Why do you need a game?

Also, beer pong was cool about 6 years ago. Let's just say, if Michael Scott was a real person, he'd be big into beer pong right now.

They aren't very watertight from my experience either. Op, you need to go to plumbing not electrical.

Go with Hams method

I've used the same method and it worked well until some fatass decided to do a canon ball in it and it snapped in two. Fat frick had to go to the hospital which was fun to watch

Not too sure. Those aren't the ones I'm buying, just resemble the ones I'm buying. I'm looking to buy these:
