Outdoor ping pong tables made of concrete and cement seem to be the most durable of the outdoor ping pong tables. Natural elements like rain, snow, and sunlight will take many years before decreasing the quality of play on an outdoor ping pong table made of concrete and cement.

Putting an outdoor ping pong table on the shoreline of a lake makes for a great table tennis picture, but also adds a greater risk for unexpected 'water hazards' into the equation.

Playing table tennis outside for fun on outdoor ping pong tables is something that table tennis players of all skill levels really enjoy. In fact, there's probably more outdoor ping pong tables in the world today than there is indoor tables.
The last photo showing the boys playing table tennis on the ground bring me very good memory of my childhood. At the time, my family was very poor, we just had the money to buy a pair of cheap table tennis paddle and nothing else even the net. So we play it on concrete floor like the kids do. And it's real great game and we enjoyed it so much. I still can remember the fun and joy after 30+ years. This is something money cannot buy. Thank you for your photos. David from Hong Kong.

Right on that's exactly the type of emotions I was looking to trigger when I created this table tennis blog post.
Thanks for sharing David.

Hey, thanks for adding the picture from Amakom, our home in Ghana where we work with a charity. Keeping life simple - even table tennis is hard. I went out and bought a traditional table and we played under the trees outside the clinic.
Great photo documentary

Andrew that picture is amazing and we are happy to feature it here. What great news to here about the clinic's table tennis table. After reading a little from your site, I can say that I really admire what you guys are doing over there.
In the future, if you happen to snap another photo of the little ones playing, I'd love to check it out.
Until next time.
