Plexiglass is lightweight, transparent thermoplastic that is weather-resistant, making it ideal for a number of household applications including furniture protection. Tables are easily scratched and damaged by objects hitting or sliding on them and spills can permanently stain the table top. Protecting a table with plexiglass can be done very quickly.
Step 1
Measure your table's dimensions so you know what size plexiglass you will need. Use a tape measure to gauge the length and width of the tabletop.

Purchase a sheet of plexiglass from a glass company, hardware store or home improvement store. Most can cut the sheet to the dimensions of your table and shape it as needed.
