Which table tennis table should I buy?
looking for a table tennis table for at home? Buying the right table can be tricky, especially if you don't know where to start. Fortunately, we are here to help you! At Heemskerk we have years of experience in selling table tennis tables and we are happy to share our knowledge with you.
Indoor or outdoor
Where are you going to use the table tennis table? Inside or outside? If you plan to use the table outside, it is important to look specifically at an outdoor table tennis table. Outdoor table tennis tables must withstand rain and bright sun. Indoor table tennis tables are not suitable for this. After a shower you have a crooked table top. Outdoor table tennis tables usually have a melamine table top, which is resistant to weather influences.
Purposes
Where and how often will you use the table tennis table? Will it be placed in the attic, where you and your family occasionally hit a ball, or is the ping pong table intended for more intensive use, for example in the office or in a public space. In the latter case, take a somewhat firmer table that can withstand a beating. For this, look at the thickness of the rods and the general sturdiness of a table tennis table. At Heemskerk we have indicated this per table.
The space
What is also important: how much space is there. Not only does the table have to fit, you also need a lot of space around it. Table tennis tables come in different sizes. The official dimensions of a table tennis table are 274 cm long and 152,5 cm wide. If you want to buy a table tennis table for your home, it is important to take into account the available space. A mini or midi table is ideal if you have limited space.
The tabletop
The tabletop of the table tennis table is one of the most important parts. An indoor table usually has a chipboard or MDF table top. The thicker the blade, the better a ping pong ball bounces is usually the rule. The better you are or become, the more important a thicker tabletop is.
wheels
Mobile table tennis tables are a good choice if you want to move the table often. These tables are equipped with wheels that make it easy to move the table from one location to another. This is especially useful if you want to store the table when not in use or if you want to move the table to another room for storage or use.
Brand and reputation
When choosing a table tennis table, it is important to look at the brand and the reputation of the brand. Hemskerk has a long history of making table tennis tables and we are no strangers to table tennis. It is therefore worth investing in a table from a reputable brand, as these tables are more reliable and offer better quality and warranty.
Own design sheet
If you want a unique table, you can consider having a wrap applied to the playing field. This is possible with us at all ping pong tables. Nice for companies. Please note: Heemskerk has been offering this service for a long time and we have a lot of experience with this. That way the game doesn't suffer.
Examination
The top model of Heemskerk has an international ITTFMore examination. Many table tennis tables are described as competition tables, but an essential part is missing, the inspection. Official international matches can be played on our Novi 2400, thanks to the approval of the International Table Tennis Federation. It also obliges to place that inspection visibly on the table. So pay attention to that.
Installation
Some table tennis tables come in a box and require self-assembly. Heemskerk has table tennis tables that can all be delivered assembled by our own people. If you want to assemble the table yourself, there is a clear manual in Dutch! That is not the case everywhere.
Transportation
How do you ensure that a table tennis table that you order online arrives at your home or office in the right way? Heemskerk has its own drivers who are used to transport table tennis tables. Our company cars are even designed for it. With us, a table tennis table is treated like a baby, it even gets moving cloths around it in the car and it is certainly not thrown around.
