I'm moving house next year and there is already a (slightly undersized) pool table and dart board...I'm thinking of making a table tennis table if I ever get the time. My love of table tennis was rekindled while traveling in Aus last year, playing in hostels etc. Having your own table must be sweet! |

One of the big differences in Ping Pong tables is if the edges have another board on them that goes down a bit. This reduces warping a lot. Good luck |

I thought about building my own,except for a few details: 1. ping pong table is 5'x 9', so each half of the table would be 5'x4.5'. Particle board is 4'x8'. 2. Room is a premium, and I like the fold up mechanism of commercial tables. 3. The laminate alone required for the table top would have cost more than the Walmart ping pong table. |
