Would a piece of plywood work as a ping-pong table?

I want to make a ping-pong table that i can just place over my pool table. After I cut, paint, and tape it correctly, would it still work well. To simplify, would the plywood react (bounce) correctly enough to play.

  • Yes! use a thick sheet of MDF Maybe cut some blocks for underside (to prevent sag)

  • A ping pong table is ‘ long. A piece of plywood is only ‘ long. If you’re going to do it right, you’ll need two pieces of plywood, each cut down a bit.

  • My friend’s cheap ping pong table was made of cheap particle board with a painted finish. I would say any type of wood would work. But i would opt for a /” thick MDF or Birch plywood to add some rigidity to it. Throw some paint on it to match your decor and your all set.

  • Yes it would! You just have to get a high grade piece of plywood, which is thick enough not to deflect. And paint with a very fine furniture grade paint roller, in order to get a very fine texture.

    You might want to consider getting a sheet of MDF instead of plywood, it might suit the purpose better, and it might not break your budget! Expect to spend $+ on a decent sheet of plywood, VS $- for a good sheet of / MDF.

  • Not likely, but a few types of ply might suffice.

    Abatong ply (forgot how to spell it) can be pretty freakin’ consistently dense and hard.

    Most types of ply – forget it.
