Abstract
The invention relates to a tri-surface table tennis table and method of use, the tennis table comprising a configuration achieved placing three regulation tennis table surfaces next to each other to form a symmetrical arrangement, so that two of each surface's vertexes touch another surface's vertex, with each two touching vertexes forming a 120° angle. The invention also comprises a triangular surface that fits in the hole created in the center of the tri-surface configuration to form a smooth surface holding the three tennis table surfaces together, and a trilateral net structure further comprising three pieces of net, each piece of net having an inner end and an outer end, wherein the three inner ends are attached to one another and centered on the tri-surface table tennis table and the outer ends are one hundred twenty degrees apart, running to the three touching vertexes of the three playing surfaces.
