Indoor tables are not weather resistant but for provide an excellent bounce and are good value for money. However they must not be stored in damp conditions (such as a barn or garage) as exposure to moisture will cause the playing surface to crack. They will also warp if left outside in the sun for only a short period of time. Outdoor tables are more shock resistant and can be safely stored outside all year making them more long lasting.

All rollaway tables can be used for solo practice - just fold one half of the table which creates a surface for you to play against. This is available on all tables designed for home use - only the Proline 510, the Evolutive and the Competition 610 models do not have this.

Only outdoor tables can be left outside - never leave an indoor table outdoors even if you use a cover as the table will warp. The purpose of the cover is to keep the table clean and dry as well as for additional safety.

None of the tables are supplied pre-assembled as this would make them difficult to transport without getting damaged. The assembly instructions are very clear and easy to follow but if you prefer to have the table assembled for you then this service is available on all models for a fee of £50.

Yes, every table manufactured by Cornilleau goes beyond the requirements of the EN 14468-1 European safety standard.

With a wide range to choose from there is a table to suit everyone. All Garlando tables (except the F-1) are manufactured in Italy so you can be sure that you are purchasing a top quality product which will last. All models are made from durable and hard-wearing materials and are of a solid construction.

The short answer is the quality of the materials. The Garlando tables are very sturdy because they have solid legs which avoids wobble associated with tables with hollow wooden legs. Telescopic rods are standard on most of the tables we stock as this reduces the risk of accidents where children are concerned. The use of roller bearings on most models means the rods move smoothly and reduces wear and tear. All models up to the G-5000 are supplied with a plastic laminate playing field. This is usually preferred because a glass playing surface is too smooth making ball control extremely tricky. The top models (G-5000, Pro Champion and Master Champion) have a sanded glass playing field for maximum control.

In the Garlando range you will find the G-500 weatherproof which is an outdoor version of Garlando's best-selling indoor model. This table can be safely stored outdoors all year round and a weatherproof cover is supplied as standard. If you want to use or store an indoor model in a barn or garage then we recommend purchasing the weatherproof cover to protect the table against damp. You should never store an indoor table outdoors, even using a weatherproof cover.

None of the tables are supplied pre-assembled as this would make them difficult to transport without getting damaged. The assembly instructions are very clear and easy to follow but if you prefer to have the table assembled for you then this service is available on all models for a fee of £50.
