Just got back from 2 weeks holidays and played alot of table tennis with the kids, and really enjoyed it. Am looking to buy an outdoor tt table. Any advice on what to look for or avoid. It will need to be as weatherproof as possivble as Iwould plan to leave it outdoors for most of our "summer" and find some room for it in the garage over winter.

Argos do 3 outdoor ones too - haven't a clue what the difference is but they range from £199 to £499. Unless taking it up seriously I would've thought a cheap one with an outdoor cover & a winter garaged would suffice.

I think the more expensive ones are for warmer climates & all year round protection from everything. Interesting to know how the cheaper ones would handle a bit of sun over here though - probably best to call one of the larger manufacturers & get some specialist advice.

Best ones have a kind of melamine surface, not sure about the spelling though
