Sponeta S4-70e - Outdoor ping pong fun for everybody!
The Thuringian company Sponeta is located in a small city called Schlotheim (Germany). Sponeta has much experience when it comes to table tennis tables. For the pleasant season, the company also offers so-called outdoor tables: these incorporate materials resistant to sun, rain, or even snow. One of these products is the Sponeta S4-70e, which meets the requirements associated with DIN EN 14468-1. Furthermore, this table is designed for hobby purposes and there is a 2-year-warranty.
Within the S4-line, there are two more models: the S4-72e (green surface) and the S4-73e (blue surface).
Sponeta S4-70e - the Surface Board
The surface board is made of melamine resin, with an associated thickness of 5 mm. These resins (melamine-formaldehyde condensation resins) are synthetic ones made of melamine and formaldehyde bonded together (they are so-called duroplastic plastics). Their properties perfectly meet outdoor requirements: high mechanical strength, thermically stable (e.g. well over 100 °C), and weather as well as light resistant. However, mechanical impacts are critical as there is a limited resistance only. So please make sure to prevent hail events, for example. The material exhibits also a very limited resistance to acids or alkalis.
The surface is grey / anthracite and the melamine resin board is firmly glued onto the substructure. The frame profile is very stable (L-50 mm) and powder-coated (black-grey matt, RAL code: 9707).
Sponeta S 4-70 e - the base frame
The so-called base frame ("Compact Type 4b") of the Sponeta S 4-70e is of course also powder-coated with the same color (black-grey matt, RAL code 9707). Similar to the technically identical S4 outdoor versions, the dimensions are 30x30 mm (squared tubes) providing good stability. Transportation of the table is conducted via 4 swiveling double wheels (diameter 128 mm, with rubber running surfaces). The base frame also includes holders at either side for your rackets and balls - very convenient! Due to height-adjustable support legs, you can compensate unevennesses of up to 30 mm.
The SMS mechanism (Smart Manual System) locks and secures the S4-70e. For this, there are visible handles. A drawbar just underneath the surface board unlocks both safety devices simultaneously. The automatic locking mechanism secures the table tennis surface board in the storage or playing position.
