High quality Kettler Baltic blue weatherproof outdoor table tennis table
I am commenting on a related product: the Kettler Baltic weatherproof outdoor table tennis table, in blue. Outdoor table tennis table is an ingenious invention. Kettler makes very high quality outdoor tables. The table top is encased in aluminum. The Baltic table we bought was the least expensive in Kettler's product line but the different Kettler tables appear to have the same table top (except for the color) and the main difference seems to be the support system. The bounce is surprisingly decent and consistent even though it may be short of Olympic standard. We live in a place with mild weather all year round so I cannot speak for those whose backyard is covered with snow for several months of a year. The Kettler table definitely sustains the sun and some rain. We set it up on the concrete patio in the backyard and leave it open all the time. Please note if you store it in the folded position (covered with Kettler's protective cover or not), you need to stow it away so that it does not present a safety concern for children. As the patio is surrounded by green plants, the blue color stands out and is probably the better choice for outdoor tables in general. One more tip: the blue table works best with orange balls, which are easier to see during play and easier to spot from a distance when they are hidden in the bushes. We bought the Baltic table at a local store with a good price, so shop around - an outdoor table generally costs more than an indoor table of a similar quality.
Update on Nov. 1, 2009: We have had this for almost a year now. It still works great - no problem so far. We kept it open all the time in the backyard.

So so
The very first year, the orange plactic bars that you see in the picture broke off. Had to use the remaining nub to open and close the table. Net plastic guides also broke the second year. The surface was faded and became totally splotchy by the third year. The surface it self remained flat and playable. The wheels don't move well and the table is clunky. The cover tore immediately. We had it 5-6 years and then another key part broke (all plastic) and had to put it out with the trash. I had hoped for better life from something that cost me 600.

What you want to watch out is that all the moving parts should be metal not plastic as they in this table.
