DO I NEED AN INDOOR OR OUTDOOR PING PONG TABLE ?
Indoor ping pong tables aren't resistant to weather conditions but provide a great bounce quality at an affordable price. It is important though not to store them in humid places or locations subject to temperature changes that would cause cracks on the top panels. Prolonged stay under the sun (or even brief) can also cause the table to bend. Outdoor tables are much more resistant to impact and can stay outside all year long therefore, they are much more durable.
