ENOUGH OF THE IMPORTED PLASTIC TABLES.
TAILGATE WITH AMERICAN WOOD.
FratWood began building custom tables for fraternities in 2017. What originally started as a few fraternity brothers building tables in a sketchy garage quickly turned into something so much more. Our first bulk order was to a fraternity at Indiana University, and after a small hiccup with the drug dealing neighbors, freight fraud, and a police escort to our garage, the tables made it safe and sound to Indiana and FratWood was born.
FratWood was a good idea, even Billy McFarland agreed. After pitching FratWood to Billy, he offered us a jaw-dropping amount of money to make FratWood the biggest fraternity table and beer dye company the United States had ever seen. One month later, after several insufficient wire transfers, Fyre Festival blew up and Billy was arrested. FratWood lived on.
Now, FratWood is the leading wooden tailgating table company. FratWood builds luxury wooden tailgating tables for the men and women who want to make a statement with their wood, not with plastic.
Our mission is to fight imported plastic by bringing American wood to tailgates. We knew this wouldn't be possible with a poorly made table... so we teamed up with one of the top woodworkers in Oregon and designed a beautiful, unique, foldable and transportable wooden table. Be proud of what you’re part of and represent it right. Life is short, might as well show off your wood.
LONG LIVE THE FRATWOOD

FRATWOOD TABLES
Right now, we offer the House Table. The House Table is our big boy, meaning this table is thick and durable:
- Table Length: 8 feet
- Table Width: 4 feet
- Table Height: 30 inches
- Table Weight: 150lbs
- Folded dimensions: 4 feet x 4 feet x 6 inches
- Surface Wood: Washington State Birch
- Leg and Apron Wood: Oregon Wild Douglas Fir
We offer the House Table either NAKED or CUSTOM.
NAKED
Just as the name suggests, this table is naked. No stain, no print, just the table. We want to give our customer the ability to buy our tables NAKED, not just to offer a cheaper price for the House Table, but to allow a 100% customizable experience. With the NAKED option, customers can paint their own table, cover it with stickers, pictures, you name it. Create your own masterpiece, and send us photos by messaging us through our Instagram (@fratwood). Your photo could be featured on our Instagram.
Price: $699.99
CUSTOM
Our CUSTOM House Table comes with your choice of stain and logo. We hand-stain the table and then print your logo directly onto the wood surface using state of the art UV LED Printing Technology. The table is then finished with a protectant coat. The CUSTOM House Table is truly a work of time, precision, and art.
Price: $899.99
*We do not condone standing, sitting, jumping, or placing any weight of over 80lbs on our tables as this could be dangerous and result in damage or destruction of the table as well as personal injury.*
Why are we raising money?
There are three reasons why we are raising money:
- To fund the prototyping and production of our new Tailgater Table
- To fund official NCAA/Greek Life licensing
- To build a CUSTOM Table design studio on our website
1. The Tailgater
We are incredibly excited about the Tailgater Table for many reasons. It is no secret that our House Table is large, heavy, and sturdy. The House Table is meant to be that way. However, we wanted to design a table that is more easily transportable than the House Table. The Tailgater is exactly this table. It will be smaller, lighter, and thinner than the House Table, and fold up into something that looks like a wooden briefcase. The perfect tailgating table...
- Table Length: 5 feet
- Table Width: 2 feet
- Table Height: 26 inches
- Table Weight: 50lbs
- Surface Wood: Washington State Birch
- Leg and Apron Wood: Oregon Wild Douglas Fir
2. Official NCAA/Greek Life licensing
The process of becoming officially licensed by the NCAA and Greek Life Organizations is time-consuming and expensive. Part of the money that we raise through this funding campaign will go toward this process. Our goal is to eventually have our tables featured in Greek Life newsletters, collegiate alumni magazines, and school stores all over the United States. We want to be able to offer our customers tables with their school logos.
3. CUSTOM Table design studio on our website
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to design your dream table right on our website? We think so too. We envision a CUSTOM Table design studio where our customer can choose their stain, the school/greek life logo of their choice, as well as the option to upload logos and experiment with placement on the table surface. When tailgates are full of unique, CUSTOM FratWoods, oh what a day that will be.
