I am looking for some collapsable tables to game on.I need a 8 x 5 foot surface. Does anyone have any ideas? Bernhard Rauch |

you may have to make some. those dimensions are hard to find in folding tables and you may have to put two together which will cost you minimum $70. you can look for a ping pong table on craigs list and probably find something |

3 sawhorses and a 4X8 sheet of plywood work great, and are real cheap and storable. |

Ping-Pong Table = 5' x 9', so is perfect. Two long folding tables come in at that dimension also. Use the extra space for your rules, rulers, dice rolling, etc. |

I think I got mine from Office Max or Staples. They are 8 x 2.5 feet, fake wood top, folding legs. I believe they are "conference tables" in their parlance. I only got 1 because I inherited another. link |

Look at Walmart and get camping tables. Three of them should be what you need. Table size with be about right and they're made to store. link |

I concur with the pingpong table. It was my first gaming table and was ideal! |

I used a single folding table, on top of it I made some boards that slide over the top and lock into place. That way I can use the tables as is or extra large. The boards are sold at Home Depot, mine are the 3/8 inch stuff near the paneling section which are roughly 2' by 4'. Then get a couple 2 by 4s (or a single one cut in half), make it so they slide right around the lip of the table. Either a clamp holds everything in place, or I driller a couple holes and put bolts through the side. |

Get some cupboard units of about the right height. Put lockable castors on them. Make yourself a 5x8 frame of wooden spars topped with MDF. Assemble as a table. When you're done, top goes against the wall, cupboards unlock and wheel over in front of it. Tada! Terrain/miniatures storage and table in one go. |

A used or new ping pong table is great. I got one from our one daughter and her husband. |

I second WalMarts folding tables. They come in 8x2 1/2 foot, fold in the middle, are light, and durable. I have 5 of the 6' ones. My only complaint is the stupid rounded corners, but the price is right. |

I have a number of 2 x 4 foot folding tables from Lowes – they're great because I can arrange them any way I want to get different sized table setups. Also easy to put away or pack into my truck bed for transport. |

Amazon do a series of folding tables, well worth you having a look. |

Three conference tables 6x2.5 with two sheets of plywood cut to 4x6 to make a perfect 8x6 table |
