• How are tables delivered?
  

  ---

• The HERO table is delivered to site as a fully-welded, one-piece unit normally via a HIAB truck (truck with hydraulic crane arm attachment). Where truck access to the final site location is not possible, POPP will prepare an alternative delivery plan that may include a pallet trolley, forklift or - in very rare circumstances - a crane, to position the table. POPP does not undertake the anchoring of tables however anchoring instructions are provided.
  
  The ICON table is delivered to site packed in a protective crate via a tail-lift truck only. POPP does not undertake the assembly or anchoring of tables however ICON Assembly Guidelines and anchoring instructions are provided.
  
  
• What is the cost of delivery / shipping? and where do they come from?
  

  ---

• The cost of delivery is quoted on a case by case basis and depends on the table model, the quantity of tables and the location of and access to the final site. All Australian orders are shipped from our Australian workshop.

• How do we manage racquets and balls?
  

  ---

• There are a few different options for managing equipment at your POPP table:
  
  Initially encourage local people to bring their own racquets and balls through education about the table and awareness campaigns. We know that as awareness grows, bringing their own equipment becomes a habit.
  
  Weatherproof racquets and balls are available for purchase from POPP. These can then be stored in the free-to-access equipment holders on every table, noting that our evidence shows racquets are rarely stolen, lost or irreparably damaged. This is is also a great way of encouraging ‘spontaneous’ play within your community when the table is first installed.
  
  Partner with a local cafe, library or community centre to loan or provide racquets and balls for free or with the supply of an identity card or deposit. There is of course scope to have a little note “bats and balls at the cafe” illustrated on the table top.
  
  Where the table is located will determine the preferred option and POPP is happy to provide advice tailored to your location and community.

• Can you move the tables?
  

  ---

• Unlike concrete tables, POPP tables can be moved and relocated if landscaping, development or other applications so require it. Please note that POPP tables are not designed for regular relocations.
  
  Please contact info@popp.world if you have any questions.
  
  
• What can tables be installed on?
  

  ---

• POPP tables can be installed on new or pre-existing surfaces - the general rule of thumb is that the surface must be flat, level and hard-formed.
  
  New or pre-existing surfaces may be paving, concrete, asphalt, crushed granite, crushed limestone, compacted material and soft-fall or recycled rubber surfaces.
  
  Installation and assembly on most surfaces is a simple, fast and one-stage process. Please contact info@popp.world if you have any site planning questions.
  
  
• What is an ideal place for a POPP table?
  

  ---

• POPP outdoor ping pong tables are designed for parks, open spaces, retail and commercial precincts, schools, campuses and health and aged care facilities. An ideal place can be anywhere, but please contact info@popp.world if you have questions or would like to hear about the types of locations our tables have been installed.
  
  
• What are the dimensions of a POPP table?
  

  ---

• All POPP tables conform to the International Table Tennis Federation specifications: 2740 x 1525 x 760mm h.
