POPP - The original outdoor table tennis table company

Founded by three friends in Perth, Western Australia in 2009, before growing, evolving and expanding to its second production facility in Los Angeles, California, POPP has stood the test of time as the league leader and innovator in weatherproof, permanent and colourful outdoor table tennis tables. 

The company is inspired and energised by good design and the social capital generated from the game of outdoor table tennis. With this inspiration and energy, POPP has been on a mission to make one of the most playable games in the world - the most accessible. To date, the company has permanently installed its design-led outdoor table tennis tables in over 3,000 communities (and counting). See some of the public table locations here.

The release of the first POPP model was in Australia in 2010 - the colour-rich and undeniably heavy duty HERO outdoor table tennis table. 700kgs / 1500lbs of fully welded steel, the HERO is designed for colour, artwork and a long, robust life outdoors. Literally anything can be thrown at it (including cyclones and floods - they survived!). HERO tables have been featured everywhere from Sydney’s beaches to the Olympic Games and Nike’s headquarters. Now available only in Australia, you can find out more about the HERO table here.

The iconic and industrially strong ICON outdoor table tennis table followed the HERO - launching in Australia before being released in North America (made locally by our Los Angeles production team). 350kg / 690lbs of steel, the ICON followed suit being designed for colour, artwork and a long life outdoors (a pattern started to form for POPP - centred on heavy duty fabrication). ICON tables have been featured in places as diverse as the headquarters of Dropbox, Waymo and Hewlett Packard - to Harry Seidler designed skyscrapers in Sydney, Australia and the banks of the Yarra River. 

To meet the demand of customers in North America, the Middle East and Europe (interested in the HERO design), in 2024 POPP launched the HEROair - its first robotic welded aluminium table available in the company’s most popular colour - Golden Yellow. Innovatively flat-packed for cost-effective freight and blissfully easy assembly, the HEROair is helping POPP realise its vision of making one of the most playable games in the world - the most accessible. 

With a fifth POPP table in development - while also exploring collaborations on other outdoor recreation products, POPP is excited by the opportunities and partnerships it has developed in Australia, the United States and Europe. The company is incredibly proud to be working with some of the best landscape architects, architects and designers across the world - but we are more proud to be creating thousands (upon thousands) of free, social and active moments of table tennis play - across the world - every day. We are honestly in awe of the scale of daily play opportunities we are helping to realise!
