What's better Homemade or Portable Beer Pong Tables?

By Derek Reed


You are stuck at a cross-road. You want a beer pong table. Maybe it's for your upcoming party. It could be a gift for someone. Or maybe you just love beer pong so much. The problem is you don't know whether to make one of your own (because it seems so easy) or purchase one from a store. So let's weigh our options while discussing going portable versus homemade.

If it is so easy to make a beer pong table from scratch, why doesn't everyone who has a table do just that? There can be many overwhelming aspects to creating your own table. Let's consider a few. You need to have the right tools for the job and if you aren't a carpenter by trade getting the dimensions just right can be a difficult task. Even if your planning or design looks good on paper, getting the measurements to come out just right can be a different story. What about personalizing it? Making just a plain table is so boring. Most want to add a nice graphic but not all have the gift of being a creative artist. Wouldn't it be easier and save time to just select your favorite design from a categorized list?

The location of your beer pong games can have a major impact on your decision too. If playing in your garage, are you able to or would you feel like moving a homemade table afterwards, in order for others to park? Dorm rooms or hallways would be a hard place to put a permanent table, considering all the foot traffic. Let's say you have a house with a rec room or family room to entertain guests. Do you really want to permanently take up space with your beer pong table and not be able to entertain your guests in any other fashion in that room? A portable table solves all those problems. It can be folded into a suitcase to fit in any storage area. It also only weighs around 25 pounds for easy travel.

Wood tables easily warp from liquid exposure. They also shrink and expand due to the change in heat. When exposed to liquids metal tables can permanently stain or rust. Wear and tear prevention can be the hardest or most expensive part of your project. So why not get a table that you know is going to is going to last you long into your beer pong playing future. How frustrated would you be to have to rebuild your masterpiece just because it didn't bear up to a little natural damage? Premium high quality tables have been the preference of most customers because they know the value of doing it right the first time.

So what have we learned? Building anything with your bare hands from scratch can be a pleasing feeling. But the effort and materials it takes, the space you'll be sacrificing, or the wear and tear that will accrue is it really worth your time? Only you can decide. Let's not forget, though, the best part of having a portable beer pong table. You can enjoy the game anywhere! Tailgating, at a bar, where you live, at a friend's, or even off to college. The possibilities are endless. So get excited, go portable, and play some beer pong!
