Table tennis dimensions of a tennis table. Do-it-yourself tennis table: sizes, types and assembly features (51 photos)

Many people remember the game called “table tennis” from their school days. This entertainment still interests quite a large audience. It can be played both freely and professionally. But such entertainment requires a little effort if we are talking about a DIY tennis table. It is not always possible to go with friends to specially designated table tennis places to have fun. For such cases, you can make your own table to play at home. Also, in this case, you can really save your own money than when buying a new table.

How to make a tennis table with your own hands

First of all, you need to decide what kind of tennis table will be, collapsible or stationary. The easiest way is to make a collapsible table, because for a stationary one you will have to allocate a special room so that it is constantly there. For T
Wow, to start making a table, you need to know its following dimensions:

• table height – 760 mm;
• cover length – 2740 mm;
• cover width – 1525 mm.

The parameters that are stated above must be followed, otherwise the desired table will not look right, and thus may negatively affect the gaming experience.

The next step is the materials that are needed for the work:

To make a table you will also need the following tools:

• saw;
• drill;
• drill;
• paint brush.

With the help of all the above devices and materials it is worth start work. You can also use laminated plywood for the tabletop, which will not deform during the operation of the table. This material resistant to different types damage.

DIY tennis table: assembly

In order to make a table top, you don’t have to put in a lot of effort, because sheets of plywood are sold in almost any hardware store in the right sizes, that is, 1525×1525. As for the brackets for the legs, they have a specialized shape, and if it is not possible to make them yourself, you can contact a metalworking shop and order them there. The next step is the need to start cutting the timber.

After the timber is cut into the required quantity and size, it should be treated with an antiseptic and left to dry for a while. At this time, while the timber is drying, you can begin welding the brackets. The end result should be four identical mounts for the legs of the gaming table. After After completing the procedure, you need to drill holes for pre-prepared screws.

Next, you should mark the timber, and then begin assembling the support frame using self-tapping screws. Next you need to adjust the legs to the fastenings by removing the wood until the timber is free special effort will begin to enter the place intended for it. Then you need to install the beam into the sockets and bolt it to the brackets, after which you can put the platform on the legs. Having completed a number of the above procedures, the tennis table with your own hands will be almost ready. Next you need to try the lid on Right place. Then you need to make markings on the tabletop itself so that you can see where to screw in the screws to secure it.

The next step is to drill out the holes so that the heads of the fasteners are flush with the countertop.

Next, you need to disassemble the already assembled structure and put the frame on the floor to install the cover and screw it with self-tapping screws. You need to screw it carefully so as not to cause any damage to the tabletop. After the work has been done, it is necessary to prepare the tabletop for painting. This is accompanied by the following procedures:

• the first option is blowing with a strong stream of air from the compressor, if available;
• the second option is to sweep it and then wipe it well with a rough cloth.

Painting and marking the countertop

After preparatory work It's time to start painting the countertops. You need to paint the surface twice, drying each layer thoroughly. Next, you need to mark the playing field. This can be done with a regular can of paint. The stripes must be marked with special masking tape so that the paint does not extend beyond its limits and the stripes are of the appropriate width. After all the paint has dried, you can begin to use the gaming table.

This device will save your own money at least three times. Even a beginner who has nothing to do with carpentry can assemble a tennis table in a few days. An outdoor game will help you while away your leisure time with family and friends. To make a tennis table with your own hands, the most important thing is desire, and everything else with diligence and effort will not become a problem. You can spend several days just to have a good time. Nothing can replace the pleasure of the game. Therefore, you should try yourself as a carpenter without any fears.

Making a tennis table with your own hands means, first of all, saving a significant amount: for one on which it is convenient to throw a ball around like an amateur, you will have to pay at least 10,000 rubles. A tennis table on which you can play like an adult will cost three times as much. Folding roll-out - another 1.5-2 times more expensive. Well, as for tournaments... we won’t, we didn’t take prizes at prestigious competitions. And yet, any of them, which are not inferior in terms of gaming capabilities to branded samples, can be made independently. And at the same time, getting better at carpentry will also be useful in life. The designs of tennis tables are simple and do not require the use of subtle technological techniques.

No matter where people play ping-pong, you are sometimes amazed. A table for three players can still be understood. Although, having ardently applied a part of the body of suitable height to an acute angle, the side player will experience truly extreme sensations. But what to do on that table on the right in the picture, you’ll think about it. We will not go into experiments or describe curious designs, if only because there are a lot of them. Extreme varieties of ping pong have long gone beyond the subculture and turned into a popular hobby for which an entire industry works. We will figure out how to make a tennis table for your home, garden, or outdoors. And for children too. Even if they still walk under the adult table, they still want to leave. This is a very exciting game - table tennis.

In RuNet there are descriptions of a quick-assembled tennis table for the drawing in Fig. on right. Apparently copied from the old MK; in any case, this design has been known for quite a long time and was mass-produced during the perestroika conversion. It is convenient to play on such a table if the tabletop is suitable, see below, but it is for this class of products too complicated structurally. This is what predetermined its fate in the “shaggy” cooperative years: it turned out to be unprofitable when enterprises began to count their own resources, not government ones.

Making a table tennis table with your own hands can be much easier, see next. rice., making do with fewer, simpler parts. The legs also do not have to be ground to a cone, as long as adjustable furniture feet-thrusts (shown by the arrow) are attached to them for using the table indoors. The main thing in a tennis table is the tabletop, which ensures the correct rebound of the ball, see below. Some things, of course, also depend on the supporting structure, which we will also look into.

About street tables

What about the little ones?

As for the cost of ready-made tennis tables, a story similar to folding ones is repeated with children's tables of reduced size. Branded children's tennis tables look elegant, no doubt about it, see fig. on right. But their prices, as they say, don’t even smell close to liberal-democratic values. But of course, all the best goes to children! And for the best there should be nothing to be sorry for. Principles are principles, and marketing is marketing.

Well, here too you can get out of the situation by making a children’s tennis table with your own hands, see fig. The design is simple, you don’t even need a commercial mesh. You can place this sports equipment on a regular table, on stools, a children's table, and in general on any stand. Or just on the floor. There are such fruits of the joint efforts of parents that he himself is little more than a racket, and already, puffing, he throws.

About metal in a tennis table

Hobbyists who prefer plumbing rather than carpentry often make their own tennis tables from simple lengths of wooden beams connected by shaped steel fasteners, like those in Fig. Even a seasoned professional will not feel the difference in the oblique rebound from the same tabletop on such a table compared to a purely wooden one.

However, oddly enough at first glance, a wooden-steel table turns out to be less durable than a completely wooden one. Nobody plays while yawning and scratching themselves. And if you throw yourself into the table in excitement, the sharp edges of the connectors little by little cut the wood over and over again, and the table becomes loose. Round through steel fasteners do not give this effect, because... in a table of correct design, concentrated loads do not fall on the sharp edge of the metal or there is none at all.

"Oak" tables

It is also undesirable to make the base of the tennis table overly strong and massive, as in Fig. This is where the risk of injury comes into play. It’s better that the table moves from a player’s accidental “impact” and you have to correct it (which is also provided for by the rules of professional competitions), than to run into your belly on the edge of the tabletop, or worse, that below your stomach on its corner, and end up in the care of a traumatologist.

The standard dimensions of a table tennis table are 9 x 5 feet and 30 inches from the floor to the bottom edge of the net. Mesh height – 6 inches; the takeaway is the same. How much will it be in millimeters, see fig. Whether the game will be played with or without a net is determined by the conditions of a particular tournament, but in homemade ping-pong tables its role is somewhat different.

The presence of a connection, connector or line for installing fasteners in the top of a tennis table is permissible only in one place: across under the net. At the same time, materials suitable for the tabletop (see below) may be available in sheets (slabs) of width less than 1525 mm, or there is nowhere to accommodate the waste from trimming. In this case, it is permissible to reduce the width of the tabletop, but on the condition that the width of the grid with offset must be at least the same 5 feet.

Tabletop

As you know, a ping pong ball freely falling from a height of 1 foot, which is equal to 12 inches or 305 mm, should bounce straight up at least 10 inches or 254 mm from the top of a proper table tennis table. However, in the game great importance It also has an oblique rebound, especially if the throw is cut, i.e. The ball rotates quite quickly.

Ideally, a ball with an oblique rebound should fly off as a physical point from an absolutely hard and elastic surface. What spoils the throw is the influence of the already mentioned sliding, sticking, rolling and rolling of the ball in the interaction of these factors. We won’t go into theory, it’s complicated. Coriolis at one time developed a theory of playing billiards, which is not in last place in mechanics. Manufacturers of billiard tables, cues, and balls know it and use it, but billiard players, who will cut any theorist on the table like a nut, begin to shake in the name of Coriolis. So let's move straight to practice: what material would be better for the top of a tennis table?

Boards

Made of boards in a noble way, like the top of a dining table - definitely not. Unless the wood used is expensive, selected fine-grained wood: bog oak, ash, walnut. Since half a century ago, tournament tennis table tops have been made of teak or ebony. The tabletop of a ping-pong table, made of ordinary pine boards according to all the rules of furniture art, will soon go in waves imperceptible to the eye. You can somehow throw at such a ball, but if you cut it a little, the opponent just grins.

Plain plywood

Amateurs most often make tabletops for tennis tables from plywood, especially since a couple of standard 1525x1525 sheets are more than enough for the top of a folding table, see below. The smallest commercially available sheets, 1475x1475 mm, are also suitable for an amateur table.

The oblique rebound from the plywood is correct, but sluggish, i.e. the ball sticks a little before flying off and loses some of its energy. You won’t be able to get completely excited on a plywood table. Painting can mitigate this drawback. acrylic paint water-based in 2-3 layers, which will also enhance the moisture resistance of the plywood. For the same purpose, before painting, it is advisable to impregnate the sheets on both sides with a water-polymer emulsion.

Another problem with plywood tennis tables is sagging and warping of the tabletop as a whole. Here the only way out is a non-separable table on a rigid box-shaped base with struts of a design similar to the one in Fig. on right. Some of its advantage is that the entire support can be made of 100x30 and 150x40 boards. Tabletop thickness from 16 mm. It is attached to the supporting frame along the contour with self-tapping screws 60x4.2 in increments of 100-150 mm; the fastener heads are puttied. For an amateur table this is acceptable, because... Only very experienced players can serve on a rebound from the edge of the field.

Chipboard, DSP, etc.

Another option for a table top for a tennis table is laminated chipboard (LDSP) or cement-bonded particle board. Laminated chipboard should be matte; The glossy ball slides and goes to the side so that it is noticeable even to a beginner. DSP is heavy, but good for its moisture resistance; a tennis table with a table top made of DSP, painted with acrylic, can survive under open air more than one winter.

The advantages of chipboard and DSP for the tabletop of a tennis table are also that they are produced in sheets (slabs) of sizes 2750x1500, 2750x1750 and 2750x1830 mm. This allows you to make the tabletop of a courtyard or outdoor stationary table one piece, which, of course, increases its durability and anti-vandal qualities. In the latter respect, the good thing about chipboard and fiberboard is that they are non-flammable and repairable (potholes can be filled with putty). Laminated chipboard is available painted in different colors, but DSP will have to be painted. The thickness of the table top in both cases is 16 mm.

The bad thing about both materials is that the oblique torsional rebound from them is anything but the same as the hand gave. But for amateur outdoor play this does not matter, because... in the open air and the “cool” pros are just throwing around; The very subtleties of the throw are affected by both the air temperature and the uneven heating of the table, racket, and ball by the Sun. And the lightest breeze, of course.

As for flat slate sheets, the ball sticking to it and its scrolling is even greater. And the material itself is heavy and fragile; a crazy hooligan can split the tabletop with a bottle he just drank. True, flat slate is cheap, but this is its only advantage.

Laminated plywood

Laminated plywood is not at all new material, as they sometimes write. There are still products in everyday use made from bakelite-laminated plywood from more than 100 years ago. Which already speaks volumes about the quality of the material. Nowadays, plywood is most often laminated with non-flammable and mechanically resistant melamine. Melamine plywood is by far the best material for a tennis table top:

Tennis table in the country

At the dacha there will almost certainly be a place to store a solid table top for a ping pong table. Which will come in handy in normal quality, in a “clearing” for a crowded company, this time. Secondly, there, at the dacha, you need ordinary construction sawhorses in the amount of 2-4 copies. Not only for related work, but also for caring for trees in the garden. It is much more convenient to process the crown of a tree or harvest crops while walking on the flooring than to balance on a ladder.

Hence the conclusion: a table tennis table for a dacha can be built quite simply, see fig. If the trestles are solid, durable (but also heavy and bulky), you will need a pair of them for a tennis table with a table top made of plywood (any) or laminated chipboard, in the center in Fig. If the trestles are light, compact, folding, then 4 pcs., on the right.

In the case when the tabletop is composed of 2 parts (say, from regular plywood), boards are first placed under it on the trestles. There is no point in connecting the halves of the tabletop with a piano hinge; it will rust, and it is inconvenient to handle such a “book”. It is better to connect the sheets with plastic dowels for detachable furniture joints. They have one half threaded, and the other rounded with a slot for a screwdriver. In the mating edge of the attached half of the tabletop, the dowel heads are selected accordingly. hole sizes. If the tabletop is plywood, then no reinforcement/framing of the holes is required.

And so on

The table is a table, but all other table tennis accessories, except for balls, can also be made with your own hands, although this is a different topic. For example, there are no special requirements for the grid. In table tennis, it is, in essence, just a field delimiter and a lower rebound height limiter, because... The serve ball should not roll on the table or lie too low above it.

Professionals of table tennis (which is no longer amateur ping-pong) generally prefer to make their own rackets and cover them with... sandpaper. So what if it takes a box of marbles to play? But you can prune “to the point of squealing.” Others, enraged by the game outside of competition in an amicable way, begin to play with the edge of the racket. The ball often bursts, but this game looks incredibly impressive.

Table tennis is one of the few sports that works all muscle groups and requires mobility and attention. It is not always possible to play tennis in the hall, so some people decide to install a table directly at home. The cost of such a design is quite high, but the savings cash You can make the table yourself.

General design of a tennis table

Tennis tables can be made in two types: stationary and collapsible. The second option is more convenient if there is little space in the house - it can be easily placed directly on the lawn. However, the reliability of such a design is low; any gust of wind can disrupt it. If you decide to install a stationary table, be prepared to set up a separate room for the game. Its dimensions must be at least 5x8 meters.

Important! The floor surface must be perfectly flat, otherwise adequate play may not happen.

Regardless of what type of tennis table you prefer, it must meet generally accepted standards. Its length should be 274 cm, width - 152.5 cm, and height - 76 cm. At the same time, the height of the mesh is always 15.25 cm. If you play sports professionally, it is best to choose a canvas thickness of 28 mm. The amateur model allows a table thickness of 12 mm.

When manufacturing, strictly adhere to these dimensions.

Required tools and materials

To make a tennis table, you will need:

• sanded plywood with dimensions 152.5x152.5x1.2 cm - 2 pcs.;
• edged timber 5x5x300 cm;
• metal brackets - 4 pcs.;
• self-tapping screws 5x89 (38 pcs.), 3.5x49 (45 pcs.) and bolts (4 pcs.);
• antiseptic;
• card loops;
• hinged struts;
• welding machine;
• hacksaw;
• drill;
• white spray paint;
• green or blue enamel on wood;
• roller or brush;
• masking tape.

Step-by-step manufacturing instructions

Brackets made by yourself will have different sizes. Therefore, number them along with the legs.

1. When all the materials have been purchased, it is important to understand the drawings. Below are images that will definitely help you in your work.

   Carefully work on the diagram, and only then start manufacturing

2. To begin, mark the timber and cut it to size. You should get 5 blanks, 3 of which are equal in width to the table, 2 in length. Be sure to coat the wood with an antiseptic.
3. While the pieces are drying, you need to prepare the brackets necessary to attach the legs. They will keep the entire structure stable and slightly stretch the corners of the frame. The table will not fall apart the first time you use it; you just need to screw the brackets to the corners, making holes for the screws. Brackets made by yourself will have different sizes. Therefore, number them along with the legs.
4. Next you need to install the legs. If you see that the timber does not fit into the hole, remove enough wood so that the workpiece fits easily into place. At the same time, do not forget that you need to leave space for an additional plate, which will ensure proper bolt tension.

   Numbering will avoid additional time and effort.

5. After installing the beams, they need to be screwed to the brackets using bolts. Only after these manipulations can you begin installing the cover. Initially, try the surface to size, make marks for the screws and drill holes. It is important that the holes are slightly larger than the fasteners, since the heads of the hardware should not protrude beyond the surface of the platform. If you notice any unevenness, remove them using wood putty. You can also attach the screws from the reverse side, but be careful not to damage the cover of the future table.

   This is what the final design should look like:

6. All that remains to be done is to paint the surface. The lid must be painted in two layers, each of which must dry well. If you purchased an unsanded slab, treat it with putty. After applying the enamel, it is necessary to make markings. To do this, apply masking tape and, using a spray can, spray 20 cm wide white paint around the perimeter. Also, a 3 mm strip should run exactly in the middle of the table along its length. Next, you can install the mesh and put the structure into operation.

Important! To save time, you can purchase laminated chipboard in green or blue by ordering the cutting and gluing service.

How to make a folding ping pong table

A folding tennis table can fit in any room. Its main advantage is its mobility, so in good weather you can easily take it outside, although you will have to do this together, since the structure weighs about 50 kg. The construction of such a table is precise and painstaking work; each detail must clearly fit the other elements.

The nuances of creating an all-weather table

Typically, all-weather table tennis tables are made to be collapsible so that they can be put away at any time. The difference between such designs and ordinary tables lies in the material of the tabletop. Since chipboard and wood are susceptible to rotting and warping when exposed to moisture, it is worth using plastic or melamine for an all-weather table. Plastic tables very light, but do not allow the ball to bounce well off the surface. Melamine is ideal in this case, but slabs made from it are quite expensive. This material is not afraid of cold, moisture and snow, so it can be used outdoors all year round. To improve the rigidity of the countertop, the surface is often made of several layers. First, an aluminum sheet is attached to the frame, and then plastic or melamine is placed on it.

For convenience, the structure can be equipped with wheels

Additional Information

Usually, blue or green tables are installed at competitions. In the house, you can use slabs with patterns and abstractions, it all depends on your preferences. However, psychologists say that green lids have a calming effect, so the game goes smoothly and tactfully. The blue canvas warms up the excitement in the participants, provoking them to take more active actions. In this case, it is better that the canvas is matte, so the ball will not glare.

To make a table, not only boards or chipboards are used. Can be done reinforced concrete structure, use a worktop made of aluminum composite or melamine. However, such canvases will have to be purchased ready-made, and the concrete will have to be poured using special forms. In small rooms you can place a mini-table, the dimensions of which are 61x110 cm. This design will fit even in the kitchen and can be taken out into nature at any time.

Compact design can even be placed in the kitchen

To care for the tennis table, use only soft cloths or sponges. Abrasive products are not suitable as they can cause scratches and abrasions, which will significantly impair the ball's bounce. Experts recommend using special cleaning products, which can be purchased at a sporting goods store.

Video: how to make a tennis table with your own hands

As you can see, there is nothing complicated in making a tennis table for home use. After spending one day, you will receive a high quality design that is suitable for outdoor or indoor play. Today, any materials are available to you; you just need to determine what type of table you need and buy everything you need to create it.

Today, the popularity of table tennis can confidently compete with volleyball or football, but, unlike the latter, it requires a special table, a net and a pair of rackets. All this is quite easy to buy, but the price of a tennis table good quality forces you to look for alternative options. The simplest of available ways get high-quality equipment - make a tennis table with your own hands according to your own design.

Basic parameters of a tennis table

If you need equipment to organize a game at home, a folding tennis table is better suited. It is quite difficult to make such an option and ensure that it is even and stable. Building a folding tennis table with your own hands is much more difficult due to the large number of moving joints; this requires professional carpentry skills and high-quality material. Therefore, before making a tennis table with your own hands, soberly assess your capabilities. For the first experiment, it is better to limit yourself to a simpler and more reliable stationary design.

The tennis table must meet the following parameters:

• The dimensions of the tennis table, or more precisely, the playing field, are 2740 mm in length and 1525 mm in width, the best material for the first experiment there will be plywood 18 mm thick. The playing surface must be wooden and have high rigidity;
• The standard height from the floor to the playing surface is 760 mm. The exact height value for the equipment is of great importance, but you should not get hung up on millimeters; as practice shows, for homemade tennis tables the most difficult thing is to maintain the table horizon and the absence of surface slopes;
• The support points of the tennis table should not extend beyond the projection of the playing field; it is better if the frame does not reach the edge of the tabletop by 200-300 mm.

Advice! The best material to build the support frame of the tennis table will be wooden beam, although the folding version can be made of metal corners or aluminum pipes.

Building a tennis table with your own hands

One of the most difficult stages in building a tennis table is the correct selection of materials. If, due to a great desire to save money, you buy knotty or slightly curved timber, plywood with traces of moisture, or use tin corners instead of steel, the tennis table may turn out to be extremely weak and unstable, and it will be impossible to play on it.

Tennis table materials

The design of a tennis table is extremely simple; you need to assemble a supporting frame on legs and attach the two halves of the playing field to it. All parts and components will be made of wood, with the exception of steel plates to strengthen the corner joint.

To build the table we purchased:

1. Two sheets of good quality plywood 15 mm thick; when choosing, the main criterion was a smooth and clean surface of the material measuring 1525x1525 mm;
2. A wooden beam 50x50mm and a board 100x25mm, each material was taken in excess of ten linear meters of each;
3. Hardware, steel corners 30x30mm, wood screws and steel corner plates, with wing bolts;
4. Paint and varnish materials - acrylic primer, white and blue enamels.

Important! Instead of plywood, you can use laminated OSB board, but it costs more. Do not use chipboard or fiberboard for the tabletop; even after painting, they often lose the original flatness of the playing surface.

The first stage is cutting the material

To make two halves of the playing field, we will need to cut each sheet to a size of ½ of the full length of 2740 mm, this will be 1370 mm. Coincidentally, the dimensions of one edge of a sheet of 1525 mm plywood coincide with the width of the table, so one strip of 155 mm wide must be cut from each sheet. The highest cutting quality can be obtained with a circular saw stationary saw, a little worse - with a manual circular saw, in extreme cases, you can cut it off with an electric jigsaw.

It is necessary to stick construction tape on the cut site, this will reduce the number of burrs, and the cut will be of very high quality. If you do not have the skill of cutting long strips with a jigsaw, practice in advance on auxiliary material. Making an even cut is not as easy as it might seem in the photo. After cutting, the plywood is freed from the tape, and the edge of the cut is cleaned with sandpaper.

The second stage - we cut out and attach the frame elements

We turn the cut halves over with the finishing surface down and fasten the frame elements to the plywood. To do this, mark the installation line and secure the previously cut fragments using steel angles and self-tapping screws. The length of the screws in the corners should be no more than 15 mm, this ensures that there will be no traces of fasteners on the front surface of the plywood.

Next, after installing the boards, we will reinforce them in the corners, where the legs of the tennis table will be installed in the future. To do this, we use previously purchased power steel plates. We select the correct position of the overlays, and using self-tapping screws we attach the overlays to the corner strips of the frame in the places where the supports will be installed.

To make the legs of a tennis table we use timber with a cross section of 50x50 mm. To do this, cut out four pieces of 750 mm in length. This is 5 mm more than necessary, but this allowance was made deliberately; after assembling and leveling the plane, the size of the supports must be trimmed to standard height tennis table.

In addition to the four corner legs, we will need to make and install two intermediate supports that will be installed in the center of the table. We cut them to length 760-100-15=645 mm. It is better to fasten intermediate supports using steel cheeks - plates 150-200 mm long. The method of attachment to the frame is clear from the photo above. A bolt with a diameter of 12 mm is threaded into the holes, a wide washer and a washer-grower are installed, and the entire fastening is tightened with a nut.

This method allows you to solve two problems at the same time - install intermediate supports and assemble the two halves of the tennis table into one structure.

The third stage - finishing and adjustment operations

The next step is to turn the structure over and place it on supports. Due to the excessive number of supporting legs, the tennis table turned out to be slightly “playy” and unstable. Therefore, the second, most difficult stage in the manufacture of equipment is the correct trimming of the dimensions of the supports.

To do this, you need to place the structure on the floor in the room where it is intended to be used, and measure the dimensions of the trim on specific legs. Should be trimmed using hand hacksaw or saws. After leveling the position, thin rubber or leather is glued to the supporting surface of the legs to prevent the wood from sliding on the floor.

At the final stage, we prime all parts of the tennis table, paint it with blue paint and white enamel, and apply markings to the playing surface. Usually, in order to get perfectly straight lines, the flange is first sealed with tape, painted white, after drying, the white layer is sealed with tape and painted with blue or green paint.

Conclusion

If you need a collapsible table, it is enough to make a small addition to the frame design in the form of door awnings and a quick-release bolted connection that holds the two halves together. In addition, the corner and central legs must be made removable. In this case, the table will fold like a suitcase; the legs will have to be stored separately. This design can be called collapsible, but it can hardly be used like a folding one. Wooden wood fastenings do not really like collapsible connection options, so for a folding structure it is better to use a steel or aluminum frame.
