🔧 DIY Tips
Building it yourself? Here's what matters:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Socket set
- Spirit level
- Allen keys
- Adjustable spanner
📐 Key steps
- Assemble in final room (heavy when built)
- Build frame square
- Test folding mechanism repeatedly
- Level in multiple directions
- Ball roll test for final check
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Not levelling properly
- Skipping folding mechanism tests
- Table in cramped space
- Net tension wrong
💡 Pro trick: After levelling, place a ball at centre and release. If it rolls consistently one direction, that side is higher. Adjust until the ball stays roughly stationary.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know

- No heavy objects on surface
- Cover when not in use
- Indoor tables stay indoors
Maintenance:
- Check folding mechanisms monthly
- Tighten any loose bolts
- Clean wheels/castors
- Check net tension
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does a table tennis table need levelling?
The ball is tiny and light - even slight slopes affect play significantly. Level table means consistent bounces and fair rallies. Most tables have leg adjusters for fine-tuning.
Is the folding mechanism tricky?
Folding tables need the mechanism to work smoothly and safely - they're heavy. I'll make sure folding locks work, safety catches engage, and you can fold/unfold confidently.
Can I use an indoor table outside?
Not recommended. Indoor tables warp with moisture. If you want outdoor play, buy an outdoor-specific table. I assemble both types.
How much space do I need?
Table is 2.74m x 1.52m but players need movement room. Plan for at least 5.5m x 4m room for comfortable recreational play.
