Indoor Ping Pong Tables

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Indoor Ping Pong Tables 

If you are thinking about buying a good ping pong table, you need to start evaluating and taking into account different aspects, such as the table material, the structure, and the composition. These factors will determine the quality of play and the durability and resistance of the table.

What materials are ping pong tables made of?

The thickness of a ping pong table top can range from 12mm to 25mm. As a general rule, the thicker the table top, the better the quality. Table tops thinner than 12mm are too thin, which causes them to warp. They also do not offer the same bounce and will make playing more difficult.

You need to take into account the type of table top material. Some table tennis tables are made of a special resin that provides greater resistance to warping, but the vast majority of tables are made with medium-density fibreboard (MDF).

Wood composite is used in most tables and is usually quite thick. This type of material should not be exposed to moisture or extreme temperatures so that it does not warp.

Fiber is the perfect material if you are looking for an indoor ping pong table but want to take it outside every now and then. This material is weather-resistant and contains special fibers that prevent warping. The thickness range is between 3 and 8 mm and, like wood, the greater the thickness, the better the ball performance.

Do they meet the official competition measurements?

The answer is yes, all our ping pong tables meet the official ITTF measurements (274 cm long, 152.5 cm wide, and 76 cm high). These are ideal for training or competitions.

Is it possible to use an indoor ping pong table outdoors occasionally?

Although it might be possible, it is not recommended because indoor tables are made of materials that are not designed to withstand moisture or UV rays, which can affect their durability.

How much space do I need to play ping pong?

If you have little space, you need a Raycool folding ping pong table, perfect for storing in a corner taking up as little space as possible. Thanks to the wheels, you can move it from one space to another without any problems.

In the case of having a lot of space, you can install a fixed ping pong table. These models are usually more robust and are anchored to the floor for better stability.

The International Table Tennis Federation establishes in its rules that the playing area for professional players must be rectangular and no less than 14m long, 7m wide, and 5m high.

Since we do not have that much space in most homes, a distance of no less than 150cm around all four sides is recommended. According to our calculations, you need a minimum space of 3.25m long, 3.20m wide, and 2.25m high to be able to play.

Care for Raycool indoor ping pong tables

First of all, do not use the ping pong table as a typical snack table! Use it only for playing ping pong and clean it with the appropriate products. Do not use abrasive products that could remove the top layer of the table top.

The most practical way to clean it is with a cloth dampened with a little water.

We recommend storing the ping pong table protected with the cover, so we can prevent it from getting dusty.

Can I buy additional ping pong paddles and balls?

Yes, in the ping pong tables section, there is a Ping Pong Accessories section where you can purchase everything from ping pong table covers to paddles and balls.
