Hi. In this post we will take a quick look at two foosball tables fit for outdoor use (and of course indoor use too). An outdoor foosball table usually come with a cover of some sort and features weatherproof construction and parts.

Montechristo Outdoor Foosball Table from Kettler
The Montechristo Outdoor Foosball Table from Kettler is a 58 inch, all weather (hurricanes and tantrums excluded) outdoor foosball table. Now let’s take a closer look at what this table has to put on the table.
What is the construction like?
This table is constructed from well made laminate and weatherproof resin . The little footballers are mounted on stress resistant, anti rust chromium plated rods that won’t bend anytime soon.
There are side and corner rails that keep the ball in play on a glass playing field. The glass field is very fast. Much nicer than plastic playing fields. Nylon bushings on the rods reduce wear and make for smooth handling.
All the players are counter balanced. The goalie can not spin the whole way around like the other players, since it’s quite close to the goal and it’s little tiny feet hits the edge of the goal. This does not prevent it from doing it’s job as a goalie though. But feel free to use it as an excuse for not fielding any goal attempts by the other team.
There is also an integrated ball drop and ball pockets behind the goals.
What kind of extra accessories are included?
It comes with a cover to protect it from the worst of the dust and forces of nature. Five balls are also included (the little players keep kicking the ball into the yard next door). These are just regular little white balls.
The warranty is a 3 year limited warranty. And the table is made in Italy (that counts as an accessory right?)

How big is the table?
It measures 58 inches in length x 46 inches in width and x 35 inches in height. Setting it up in the broom closet would be a bad idea. It weighs about 140 Lbs.
Will it start to rust if you like have it at a house by the beach or whatever?
It should be totally fine, though maybe keep it covered when not in constant use.
The steel rods are chrome plated and the table is made from materials treated to be weatherproof as well. They are however not sharkproof, so don’t go swiming with it in the sea near Amity Island (That’s some bad idea, Harry).
G-500 by Garlando Outdoor Foosball Table
The G-500 by Garlando is an indoor or outdoor (both actually) weatherproof foosball game table. It’s made in Italy and it is one of the top brands there.
What is the table like?
It is finished in pleasing neutral grey/blue swirl with royal blue and white accents. This table should look good anywhere you choose to set it up. Even in Liberace’s mansion. The grey playing fields looks great. The white and blue players fits the overall color scheme. The G-500 table is also available in a granite finish, which would look good in a man cave. Or just a cave.
The table looks and feels very sturdy and seems like it would last a good long while, whether used indoors or outdoors. It should tolerate high humidity conditions as well.
A great feature is that the handles telescope in. This way you don’t poke the person in the ribs on the other side of the table. Good feature to have for younger kids that need to stand closer to the table. The handles have a nice, smooth spin to them.
The surfaces on this table are coated with materials that will withstand weather and the elements (may even repel them). The surfaces are also washable which makes it easy to keep the table clean. Expect plenty of sweaty hands during tense foosball sessions. The hardware on the table is also rust and weather resistant. The playing field is made from marine plywood coated with a plastic laminate.
What size is the table?
The table measures 56 x 30 x 36 inches with a shipping weight of around 150 pounds.
Is the steel hardware made of stainless steel or is it just rust resistant coating?
The steel parts are treated with tropical anti-rust treatments. a sort of cocktail of rust resistant materials I presume. An anti-rust pina colada if you will.
Are the players counterbalanced?
It seems the goalie and the defensive backs are balanced, while the midfielders and forwards are not. All the players fit snugly to the chromium plated telescopic rods though. So no chance of them joining the winning team during one of your losing streaks.

Does the table have leg levelers?
Yes. Much easier than sticking a copy of the times under there. It makes for pretty stable and level play. It won’t stop people from swearing or cheating during games though. The rubber leg levellers keeps the table from moving if the table is placed on hardwood flooring or tile.
Does it come with a dust cover?
Yes. It comes with a heavy duty vinyl table cover that provides extra protection against the elements (or spilled drinks and coffee mug stains if indoors).
