For those who like to enjoy an occasional game of ping pong while entertaining friends and guests but don’t have the space required for a full size table tennis table in their home, a table tennis conversion top can be an attractive alternative that offers hours of fun and family entertainment. All you need is an existing dining room table or pool table, and you can easily convert it into an indoor ping pong table in any room of your home.

Great Space Savers

While table tennis conversion tops are much better for saving space for those living in apartments and the like, most of these conversion tops are not always cheaper than the regular full size table tennis tables.

This is an important thing to consider for someone who may have the garage space available for a standard ping pong table but simply prefers an indoor experience. To allow you more free space in smaller, shared environments many of your basic table tennis tables will either fold or roll away.

Easy Storage

An indoor table tennis conversion top also offers the benefit of easy storage, but on a smaller scale. Ping pong conversion tops are often sold in two different pieces that sit on top of your exiting table. Often, the net and other additional equipment like ping pong paddles and balls are sold separately.

When choosing a ping pong table conversion top it is also essential to consider the size of the room where the conversion top will be placed to ensure that players still have enough room to serve and return. Also, you should look at where the net attaches to your existing table and the kind of attachments that it uses. You do not want to cause damage to your existing dining room table or billiards table or purchase a ping pong conversion top only to find that the dimensions will not work.

Another important thing to keep in mind when opting for a table tennis conversion top is the size of the top. Many of these ping pong conversion tops are much smaller than your standard ping pong table, and this can greatly influence your quality of play. Your table tennis conversion top must be at least ¾ of an inch thick to make sure it provides you with a similar experience to playing on a regular table.
