Introduction: Floating Beer Pong Table

About: I often have impulses to build useful/useless gadgets... a habit which tends to include me going out and spending a bunch of money I shouldn't spend on things I probably don't need. I like to do it anyway.

For many people here, it's summer time now. For many of those people, summertime means parties (namely ones outdoors). For many of those people this includes a pool at some point. And since a party often includes beer pong for many (young) people.. Well, beer pong in a pool is much better.

So I decided that, rather than buying a floating beer pong table, I'd build my own... hence, this Instructable.

P.S. This is my first Instructable so, constructive criticism is certainly welcome.

This is what we're going to make:

Step 1: Gather Materials

For this Instructable you will need:

- Four or so empty water bottles of some sort.
- A couple pool noodles.. in my case, three.
- A beer pong table-shaped piece of hard wood...plastic...whatever you want.
- About 20 tie-wraps/wire-ties. (not pictured)
- You may need: A drill/bits.

And most likely:

- 14 Solo cups: 12 for beer, 2 for water
- 2 Ping-pong balls
- Enough of your favorite beer to get everyone at your party druuu- *ahem* inebriated.

Step 2: Assembleeeeeee

Now it's time to put the pieces together. I will not be showing the process of drilling holes, as my board, quite conveniently, already has holes pre-drilled in a nice grid.

1. Noodles!: For the layout of my board, I placed the 2 noodles straight down the long sides, and one noodle straight down the center.

Four tie-wraps/wire-ties were used to attach each noodle to the table.

2. Bottles: I placed 2 bottles on each end, end to end (bottom to bottom), short ways.

Two tie-wraps were used to attach each bottle to the board.

3. Cut excess off tie-wraps.

Step 3: Enjoy!

So here you have your finished product, a floating beer pong table. Sadly, I don't have pictures of it in use. Good luck! Enjoy! Let me know how it works out if you decide to build one, especially if you modify/improve it in any way!

Thanks. Peace.
