My buddy’s wife found this old Pit Boss folding table for $20 at a local thrift shop a while back. It’s similar in construction to the Barrington tables. The old felt was gross and wrinkled, and the “foam” under it was worthless.
I’ve got a Barrington coming, but I thought this would be nice to have at his house, or for when we need a second table.
So I got some leftover pad from a carpet layer at a house I was painting, and some black outdoor fabric from Joann. I looked at Walmart for the $5/yd outdoor fabric on @stonker’s recommendation, but they didn’t have black. I was going to buy the dark green, but as the guy unrolled it to cut it, it was all creased and wrinkled, and I didn’t want to fight with it.
$35 for fabric and spray adhesive, and about 100 staples. It’s not perfect, but it is much improved, and it was a good learning experience. I may attempt to recover the rail, but that feels like way out of my wheelhouse.
