Equipment
Hello again Alois...
I wanna build my own table tennis, cause i wanna save some money... So, you have a knowledge about a special wood or some material I could use?? I know the surface is very important to the ball bounce... I know the correct size, the only thing I want to know is what kind surface can I use?
You think it's a good idea?
Hi German,
You can use a chipboard wood. The harder woods are better and faster but they are also more expensive to use. You can use a plywood or Marine ply as well.
Then you need to think about the paint as well.
I think it is actually cheaper and easier to buy a table nowadays.
Others may have some ideas for you.

here in the usa, you can get a good used table on craigslist for less than $100, and you are gonna spend that much at least to build your own table, plus a lot of time, plus you will get an inferior end-product (out-of-balance/level, bad bounce, splinters, dangerous corners/edges, etc.). you'll end up spending more on your paddle and rubbers anyhow...
