Guide To Buying A Quality Outdoor Ping Pong Table

Ping pong is a great activity for relaxing at the end of a long day or fun while entertaining company. In addition, table tennis offers many cardiovascular benefits and helps keep muscles in shape. If you are a person that loves the sport of table tennis or someone who may be looking to compete on a professional level, having an outdoor ping pong table can enable you to workout and improve your game while enjoying the sunshine as well. In addition, having an outdoor table tennis table offers you many great social advantages, such as entertaining guests and having fun tournaments with friends and neighbours.

When you are looking to purchase an outdoor ping pong table, to get the most out of your investment there are several things that you must consider.

Often you can find an outdoor ping pong table for much less than some of the more professional indoor models cost, but it is important to keep in mind not only the quality of the table, but the materials that it is made from and the thickness of the table’s top as well. These factors can greatly influence not only how your outdoor table tennis table withstands the elements but also your overall quality of play.

Thickness

When it comes to table top thickness, regulation standards are important to keep in mind because this will give you the most realistic level of play. The height of the bounce and return of the ping pong ball is directly infuenced by the thickness of the table top and the material it is crafted from.

For all ping pong tables that are made of wood or wood composite, the thickness of the table top should be at least ¾ to 7/8 of an inch in thickness.

Construction Materials

In general, most indoor table tennis tables are composed of wood or wood composite materials and are of a little higher quality than a number of the outdoor ping pong tables on today’s market. Aluminum or other forms of metal are standard materials used in a number of outdoor ping pong tables. However, people are now finding that metal tables not only offer a poorer quality of play, but also are not as durable outdoors as the wooden table alternative.

For those who play ping pong on a regular basis and are looking for a more realistic game from an outdoor ping pong table, there are a handful of wood composite outdoor table tennis tables available. Although these models tend to be a bit pricier than other outdoor ping pong tables, they are generally made from higher quality materials, more durable, and are treated with a weather resistant coating that prevents water damage as well.
