Growing up we had a swimming pool which had a built in spa section with a round plastic table in the middle. Well i was stocked that my first house had a pool and over the moon that itt also had a spa section with the round mount for the table on the floor. Didnt bother me that the table was missing as i figured how hard or expensive could it be to get a new one after all its just a plain white plastic table top that slips on a bit of PVC pipe which then sits in a mount on the bottom. And thats were i was wrong :( I've been to countless pool shops and spent more hours then there is in a day trying to find somewhere to buy this dam table. They were popular back in the 90's nearly everyone in the neighbourhood with a pool had one yet now they just seem to have vanished.

Has anyone seen these around ? Or know where I can get one?
I've even been looking around for cheap tables that I could just pull the legs off and connect a bit of PVC pipe too but still no luck there either

Cheers

Couldn't you just strip one of those plastic tables with the umbrella hole in the middle and put some PVC through it? I think there is a rubbish collection in my area so I'll keep an eye out for you.

Odds are if you can't even find them on google using a hundred different word combinations your not going to find a shop in Perth with them :( so thats my next plan to find something similiar and modify :) Worked a bit of a sweat up this arvo cleaning the yard up so figured it was the perfect opportunity to dive in and get the exact measurement of the floor mount bracket. Wind had a bloody bite to it though especially with our pool area being elevated. Luckily I somehow got the missus on her 1 good day for the month and had her bringing me my bourbons ;)

ask some party hire places .... like the ones that set up marquees and that... my sister recently got married and had the wedding in her backyard of her new house and the party hire place they used had round plastic tables ... this was in qld but still worth a shot... as they do sell off old equiptment usually...

Try Sapphire pools. Their "Junior Hawaiian" pool has one of the tables you're after so they might be able to get spares.

Was a good idea mate cheers :)
Gave the Joondalip store a call bloke was pretty abrupt. Pretty much did you buy pool from us...
No....can't help you then, try out head office if you want.

So called head office and they were very friendly and helpful only problem is there pool tables have a 50mm connection on them so ill have to customize to suit as mines 60mm :( but not to big a problem. The big problem is the $300 they want just for the 600mm diametre table top without post or mount.... Nearly fell of my chair I'm swapping trades anyone need cheap plastic tables at ridiculous prices lol
