Sponeta S 3-80 e

Sponeta S3-80 - A table for your outdoor adventures!

Sponeta is a German company located in a small city named Schlotheim. Sponeta not only produces table tennis tables, but this section is one major branch of the company. With many different outdoor and indoor models, Sponeta has much experience and a wide range. One of the outdoor model series is the S3 line, and among this, the Sponeta S3-80e is one concrete model. It is made for hobby & recreational purposes and meets the criteria of the European Standard EN 14468-1. The manufacturer offers a warranty of 2 years from the date of purchase. The S3 80e is highly recommended for reunions, birthday parties, or simply for your free time - enjoy the pleasant outdoor season with your friends and/or family!

Important note: The Sponeta S3 80e is technically (and price-related) identical to the S3 87e. The main difference is the color of the surface board: blue (87e) versus grey/anthracite (80e).

Sponeta S3-80 - the surface board of this ping pong table

The surface board of the Sponeta S3-80e is - similar to most outdoor ping pong tables - made of melamine resin with a thickness of 5 mm, which we judge completely sufficient for hobby purposes. Melamine resins (melamine-formaldehyde condensation resins) belong to the category of synthetic resins. They are made of melamine and formaldehyde, which is bonded together belonging to the duroplastic plastics. Their properties are just ideal for outdoor tables: They are mechanically strong, thermically stable (e.g. well over 100 °C), and weather as well as light resistant. Mechanical impacts are critical, there is only a limited resistance (make sure to protect the table from hail). The same is true for acids or alkalis.

The surface color is grey/anthracite, which we find very appealing as it is different to the other two classical colors (blue, green). The melamine resin board is firmly glued onto the substructure. The frame profile mediates sufficient stability (L-36 mm) and it is powder-coated, the colors are either black or white.

the base frame of the Sponeta S3-80e

The so-called base frame (Compact Type 4b) of the Sponeta S3-80e is also powder-coated, and also available in white or black. Designed as a round tube profile (40 mm), the stability is good. This table tennis table can be transported via 4 double wheels (diameter 128 mm, red with black rubber running surfaces), whereas all wheels are swiveling. Furthermore, the base frame also includes holders for your rackets and balls - very convenient! Thanks to the playback position, you can also do single training sessions. You can also compensate for unevenness in the floor up to 30 mm (standing legs).

In order to lock and secure this ping pong table, Sponeta provides the SMS technology (Smart Manual System) with visible handles. A pull rod underneath the surface board unlocks both mechanical safeties simultaneously. The automated latching mechanism secures the S3-80e during the parking and playing position. The two spreader bars at the middle bottom of the table are grey.
