  well as additional clearance in order to play the
  sport freely and safely.

  small spaces (up to 1.5 m x 0.7 m).
• Dimensions of a Small TT Table
• We generally recommend a medium-sized TT table
  for medium-sized spaces (2 m x 1 m).
• Dimensions of a Medium-Sized TT Table
• You can use the full-size TT table for any
  surface (2.7 m x 1.5 m).

2. Thickness

• The thickness of the tabletop determines how well
  the ball bounces on the table.
• In general, the greater the bounce, the thicker
  the tabletop.
• However, it also depends on the type of playing
  surface used, which can be either wood or
  aluminum.
• If you want to build a mini TT table or a
  medium-sized TT table, a tabletop thickness of
  10mm with a (wooden surface and metal legs) is
  sufficient.
• If you want a full-size table, the tabletop
  should be at least 12 mm thick so that the ball
  bounces effectively.
• When the ball is dropped 30 cm above the table on
  a full-size TT table, it should bounce back to a
  minimum of 21 cm.
• However, for competition players, the tabletop
  thickness should be greater than 22cm. Check out

3. Wheels or no wheels?

• Do you plan to use the space you have set aside
  for Table Tennis? If so, a foldable table without
  wheels will suffice.
• To top it all off, they are nearly 40 less
  expensive than a table with wheels.
• If there is a space that is used for multiple
  activities, such as Yoga, Karate, Zumba, Table
  Tennis, and so on, it is always a good idea to
  have a TT table with wheels that can be
  completely folded once you are finished burning
  calories on the table.

4. Leg Styles

• TT tables with wooden legs are commonly sold by
  local brands.
• They are a less expensive option, but be careful
  because they tend to collapse after prolonged
  use.
• It is always preferable to use iron/aluminum legs
  rather than wooden ones.

5. Structure

• This is the area beneath the tabletop.
• For the best bounce, it is always best to choose
  one made of iron or aluminum.

  country federation (FFTT, TTFI, etc.) or the ITTF
