Octagon Poker Table Materials

There are only a few things on the materials list that you cannot get at your local home improvement store.  Those things are all included in our Poker Table Kits.  This table requires a 4′ poker table kit which includes your suited speed cloth, vinyl, and all of the foam you will need.  The complete list is:

  • A 4′ x 8′ sheet of 3/4″ plywood
  • A handful of 1 1/4″ wood screws
  • A few hundred staples
  • Playing surface fabric at least 4′ x 4′
  • 1″ Rail foam at least 4.5′ x 4.5′
  • 1/4″ Playing surface foam at least 4′ x 4′
  • Poker table rail vinyl at least 4.5′ x 4.5′
  • 1 can of spray adhesive
