Do you want to play indoors, outdoors or both?

Indoor table tennis tables have a chipboard top:

Better rebound Good quality/price ratio  Do not withstand sun, humidity and outdoor conditions

Outdoor table tennis tables have a resin laminate top:

Can stay outside all year round (resistant to rain, frost, snow and sun)  Are much more resistant than indoor tables (especially to bat blows and impacts) 90% of private households choose outdoor table tennis tables

An outdoor table for use indoors

We recommend choosing an outdoor table, even when it is for indoor use (garage, basement, etc.) As well as providing an excellent playing performance, Cornilleau's outdoor tops have the advantage of being weather and shock resistant so they are ultra-durable. That's why we guarantee our outdoor tables for 10 years compared with 3 years for the indoor versions. 

Making the right choice: 

First consider your needs and compare these against the table's features.

1) The Playing Surface:

The bounce quality varies according to the panel. The thicker, the denser, and/or the harder the board, the higher and more uniform the bounce will be as there is a direct relationship between the thickness/density/hardness of the board and the quality of the bounce. 

Outdoor table: 

Quality materials: Cornilleau has been a pioneer in weatherproof table tennis tables for use outdoors.  Tables with a resin laminate top can stay outside without deteriorating and are extremely resistant to bat blows. Cornilleau's outdoor tables range from 4 to 9mm thick and are made of anti-corrosion materials ensuring resistance to bad weather.

Indoor table: 

Chipboard tops ensure a good quality rebound and a good quality price ratio. The tops range in thickness from 19 to 25mm.

Anti-glare Coating on Outdoor Tables: 

Play in the sunshine without being blinded by glare. 

STANDARD COATING: To enjoy playing table tennis without the glare from the sun impacting your game, Cornilleau has chosen not to manufacture tables that don't have an anti-glare coating.

SOFTMAT: 3 times less glare from the sun - supplied as standard on the 100S, 150S, 250S and 300S.

MATTOP: 10 times less glare from the sun and improved transmission of spin. Supplied as standard on the 400M, 500M, 700M, Pro 540M, Pro 510M and PARK.

2) The Frame:

The frame influences the flatness and rigidity of the tops. The playing surface sits on a frame which varies in thickness from 30mm to 80mm depending on the model chosen.  The frame increases the rigidity and the flatness of the board so a thicker frame will produce a flatter board.  All Cornilleau tables have a frame manufactured from steel alloy, zinc and aluminium for the best in corrosion resistance.

3) The Legs: 

The leg assembly determines the stability of the table so broader legs are more stable. All Cornilleau rollaway tables are supplied with leg levellers which allow for adjustment on uneven ground. Most tables have been designed for wheelchair play.

4) Safety System:

Our entry level tables have the Push'n Lock system with 8 locking points.  Tables higher up the range benefit from Cornilleau's DSI system. The DSI system is currently the highest safety system on the market with 16 locking points. 

Folding:

The patented "Compact Technology" system ensures optimum safety, easy movement and minimises storage space requirements.

Separate opening and closing buttons:
	This system has 8 buttons located on the sides of the table. The table can be opened and closed easily by one person. This system is used on the 100 Indoor, 100S and 150S Crossover.
Centralised opening and closing handle :
	Using a central handle, the table can be opened and closed with extreme ease. The DSI Integrated Double Security system has 16 locking points. This is used on all rollaway tables except the 100 Indoor, 100S and 150S Crossover.

5) Other additional "Features"

	CORNER PROTECTION PADS For maximum child safety, some tables are supplied with soft, rubber, corner protection pads.		WHEELS WITH BRAKES Brakes provide even more stability during the game and more safety in the storage position.
	BALL DISPENSERS Ball dispensers are located under the frame at each playing end for extra convenience so that a ball is always at hand.		EASY TRACK This handle (used on the 500M and 700M) enables you to easily lift the table over any obstacles (steps, edge of the terrace, doorway)
	BAT & BALL HOLDERS Most tables include some form of storage for bats and/or balls.. Bat and ball holders help to keep your accessories together by providing storage space within the side panels.		RETRACTABLE NET The net swivels automatically between the two panels when you close the table, further optimising storage space and providing better safety when stored.
	ADJUSTABLE NET  On most tables, the net can be adjusted for height & tension.		ADJUSTABLE FEET Leg levellers allow adjustment of the feet for a perfectly level playing surface on uneven ground.

The Crossover range and OVERSIZE double wheels

CLEARANCE

The extra large diameter (200 mm) of the oversize wheels used on our outdoor tables, combined with their ultra-robust design, offers easy movement over uneven surfaces such as steps, paving stones etc.

FLEXIBILITY

The wheel bracket links the two wheels at the very spot where there are the greatest mechanical stresses. As such, our engineers, have taken very special care with the design of this part, in order to make the table incredibly easy to manoeuvre in any situation.

MANOEUVRABILITY

The greater the number of wheels, the greater the load-bearing capacity. Cornilleau's use of wide, twin wheels (38 or 32mm depending on the model), with a flattened composite tyre, significantly improves the manoeuvrability of the table, especially on uneven surfaces (lawn, gravel, wooden terrace, etc).
