So I have acquired around 40 hurdle tops. Enough of them if you lay them down to be about 8 feet. So my question is for you engineers out there. What would be the best method of constructing a table that would be sturdy, durable, and look nasty. My budget is limited but I am willing to spend money on plexi-glass for the top.
plexiglass cheap and ugly looking.
spring for a glass top.
What about the structure of the thing...how do you think i should secure the hurdles down...I was thinking maybe just two 2 by 4s one under each side...screw through the holes in the hurdles where the brackets used to be.
Think of how many male funky testes have touched those things and you'll be throwing them out let alone making a table from them.

Glue the middle ones together using Tightbond 2 or 3 wood glue readily available; Lowes or H. Depot. Sscrew as you glue, using screws that are long enough to go through and at least 1" into the next hurdle. Clean the excess glue off with a damp rag, easyier than sanding off when dry.
For the legs I would build a beefy hurdle stand it will look good and keep with the theme!
As in Screw from one hurdle top into another...I am slightly confused on how one would do that.
If they are laid down I don't see how I would screw and glue them together without another piece of wood.
What are ur suggestions for building the base. What I had the past year didn't prove to be durable enough
take your problem to a running woodworker, not these bozos.

You show a clear lack of understanding of even the most basic principles of hurdling.
