Sponeta S3-46 - The ultimate fun for your free time!
Sponeta is a well-recognized German company (located in Schlotheim, Thuringia) which has put one focus on table tennis tables. As you might already know, there are several lines (e.g., S1, S4, etc.) and here we want to present to you one outdoor table from the S3 line, designed for hobby & recreational purposes. The Sponeta S3-46e meets the criteria of the European Standard EN 14468-1 and the manufacturer offers a warranty (2 years) from the date of purchase. So in case you have a reunion, a birthday party, or simply time in your leisure, the S3-46e might be your choice to enjoy the pleasant season outdoors with your friends and/or family!
Note: The Sponeta S3 47e is technically (and price-related) identical to the S3 46e. The main difference is the color of the surface board: green (46e) versus blue (47e).
Sponeta S3-46 - the surface board
The surface board of the Sponeta S3-46e is - similar to most outdoor ping pong tables - made of melamine resin. It has 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 green and the melamine resin board is firmly glued onto the substructure. The frame profile mediates sufficient stability (L-36 mm) and it is powder-coated (black, RAL 9005).
the base frame of the Sponeta S3-46e
The so-called base frame (Automatic Type 4a) of the Sponeta S3-46e is also powder-coated, but window-grey (RAL 7040). Designed as a squared tube (25 x 25 mm), the stability is also sufficient. This table tennis table has 4 double wheels (diameter 125 mm), whereas all wheels are swiveling. A nice feature is the entrance protection. 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.
In order to lock and secure this ping pong table, Sponeta provides a hook system with a latching mechanism for the S3-46e. The spreader bars are black (RAL 9011).
