8 Best Outdoor Table Tennis Tables in 2023 (for all budgets)

Choosing the best outdoor table tennis table is for you is tricky. 

There are LOTS of table tennis brands and models out there – some are great, some are not so great, and some are… pretty dreadful. 

In this guide, I compare 8 of the best outdoor table tennis tables available to buy currently, and give my recommendations on tables in each category and price range – whether you’re a casual player or intermediate, or whether you need a table for public spaces, there’s hopefully a table for you in this guide. Personally, I would be very happy buying any of these 8 tables, and it would just depend on my budget / needs at the time which one I’d choose. 

I’ve narrowed this list of 8 down from a list of over 35 table tennis tables available online, to hopefully make you feel more confident in making your decision on which table is best for you.

Note: These are outdoor table tennis tables – for indoor tables, see my guide to the 5 best indoor table tennis tables.

Now, if you’re serious about your table tennis game and want to play at the highest level, I do recommend an indoor table tennis table if you have the space for it. They’re designed to be great to play on rather than being super durable and weatherproof. 

But if you don’t, outdoor table tennis tables do still hold up competitively if you’re happy to factor in a few extra variables to your game, i.e., wind and a little bit of rain!

When you’re shopping for an outdoor table tennis table, it’s good to compare different models to find one that best suits your needs and budget, and it can be a bit overwhelming with the amount of choice out there. 

But here are some of the main factors to consider when making your comparison:

• tabletop thickness
• weight
• portability
• durability
• weather resistance
• playing quality
• style
• price and value for money

These are the factors I’ve used to compare and rank these outdoor tables.

7 Best table tennis tables in 2023

Here are my top picks for the different price ranges and uses out there, and my detailed review of each:

Pros & Cons:

Conclusion:

The Pongori Outdoor PPT 500.2 is a great outdoor table tennis table for those on a budget. 

While there are much better options out there for serious players or those with more spending power, it does the basics better than any other table at this price range. 

Don’t expect an elite level playing surface (by a long shot!), but do expect a practical, reliable table to provide great fun with friends and family. 

It also has some nice safety features like the lockable wheels and rounded corners. It doesn’t look too bad either in the classic Decathlon blue colour! 

Pros & Cons:

Conclusion:

The assembly of the Pongori Outdoor Table PPT 530.2 isn’t the easiest, and some parts feel too fragile. 

If something breaks during setup you should be able to get it replaced, but it will be a hassle and a waste of your time!

The wheels can be a bit fiddly, too, and they’re not the most convincing going over uneven terrain. 

BUT, all that being said, you’ll find build quality problems with any table at this price range, and they probably won’t have a 5mm tabletop!

It also has the same safety features of the cheaper Pongori table (rounded edges, lockable wheels and lockable folding system). 

I think if you’re going to buy a table under £500, this should be it.

Pros & Cons:

Check out this video by Bestoutdoorpingpongtables to get a better idea of the Cornilleau 740 Longlife table:

Conclusion:

Despite its weight, the Cornilleau 740 Longlife is surprisingly portable and very safe. 

It’s specifically designed to lock for safety when it’s in the upright position, and it also has locking wheels and it ‘bottom heavy’, so as to not topple over easily. 

It doesn’t, however, have rounded corners. This is good for gameplay, because it’s the way table tennis is supposed to be played. But it’s not good for little kids running around at table tennis table head-height!

Ultimately, if you’ve got the money to invest, you can’t go wrong with this table! It’s sheer quality sets it apart from other tables even in the same price range. 

But if you want something lighter and more portable, there are plenty of other great options out there.

Pros & Cons:

Check out this video by Butterfly to get a better idea of the Butterfly Garden Rollaway 6000 Outdoor Table:

Conclusion:

One annoying thing about the Butterfly Garden Rollaway 6000 is that you have to remove the net when you fold it away. 

It’s not the end of the world, but for a £600-odd table you’d want the extra practicality! 

It’s also not going to feel as nice to play on as some of the other tables on this list – but I can’t knock it as a great all-rounder at a great price.

Pros & Cons:

Watch the video below by Cornilleau to get a better idea of the Cornilleau 600X Performance Outdoor table:

Conclusion:

There’s even a transport handle to help you get it down awkward bumps and steps. 

All-in-all, this table tennis table has been designed for table tennis players. 

Cornilleau have taken loads of suggestions from their customers from years of designing table tennis tables, and it’s paid off. 

Unless you want the much sturdier (but also heavier) Cornilleau 740 Longlife, or the uber-stylish Cornilleau Lifestyle table, I think this is the best out there for all-round use!

Pros & Cons:

Watch the video below by Tabletennistables.co.uk to get a better idea of the Cornilleau Lifestyle Table:

Conclusion:

The metal net is just horrible for the game play unfortunately. If you’ve ever played on a table like it, you’ll know how jarring it is for the ball to clang into it every other rally. Having said that, you can easily swap it out for a clip-on net if you need to. 

It’s also not on wheels – so you’re really not paying for any kind of practicality. 

And although the 6mm table isn’t the worst on this list, for the price you’d certainly expect a lot better!

However, this table sells itself to the right buyers – those that are looking for a stylish addition to their outdoor space while providing some light-hearted fun for the party. 

Pros & Cons:

Watch the video below by Cornilleau to get a better idea of the Cornilleau Pro 510M Outdoor table:

Conclusion:

One of the downsides to this table is the fixed steel net. 

Metal nets can be incredibly jarring to play with – the clang of the ball smacking into it can reverberate its way into your dreams if you play for long enough! 

And it changes the play of the game – topspin shots are less reliable because they can’t spin themselves that last little bit over the net chord. 

You can replace the net on this table, but it’s a bit of a job (you can buy a net conversion kit from Cornilleau), so just keep that in mind. 

As for the table thickness – it’s pretty good value for money at 7mm, especially when you factor in all the durability and safety features.

Pros & Cons:

Conclusion:

If you’re on a budget, I’d consider the Cornilleau Pro 510M Outdoor table instead.

However, the Tibhar 6000 W can offer a splash of class and style to an outdoor space whilst providing a fun activity for the community. 

Its thick tabletop maintains a high standard of playing quality, and it’s been designed with the harshest environments in mind – weatherproof, durable and sturdy.
