Sitting Out
Gotta admit I'm a little overwhelmed with all the different options for materials and build plans, so please experienced builders of PCF, please give your input to a first time builder! Hoping to make my home game between friends feel more legit and I'd like to feel proud of the final product, so I'm balancing cost with quality to the best of my ability. I decided to go with "name-brand" choices for the vinyl and foam, and hopefully my choices for the plywood and speed cloth is sufficient.
My design of choice given the size of our playing room and the average 6-8 player turnout for our games: Table Design Note: Considering adding 6" to the straight length portion, shouldn't change too much.
Materials:
Plywood - https://www.homedepot.com/p/3-4-in-...ual-0-688-in-x-48-in-x-96-in-690053/100478798

Legs? Pick up at Home Depot I guess? The only thing I care about for legs is that they don't get in the way of some players leg room e.g. the players on the curve.
Not including legs or smaller items such as bolts, adhesive, and so on, I'm at $214.16. Really would like to stay under $275.
Specific questions I can think of now: Does anyone have experience with the size table I plan to build and it accommodating 8 players? Is that grade of Plywood sufficient? Should I consider other densities for my foam, I have zero experience with foam hah.
Thank you for your time! I am a college student and have spring break starting today so I figure now's the best time to get it in, especially building with 1-2 friends outside. Portland has great weather right now.
