- We will discuss the qualities of materials:
Our tables are made exclusively from exterior corrosion resistant materials
such as Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Slate, Fabric specially engineered to be
in outdoor environments, and electrostatic applied state of the art finish
engineered to be resistant to the extremist of elements. What now?
lets place some attention on other materials that could be used in the
manufacturing of outdoor tables! Wood covered in plastic or vinyl, What!
composite partial board covered with plastic, yes this also sounds scary!
Play fields made of partial board covered by sheets of plastic or
Formica on both sides, yes this also sounds scary, fiberglass made in molds
or applied to wood, extruded and molded plastics, and of course fiber
substrates in place of slate?? All of these methods are available to us but
we choose not to use these products in our
tables as we believe that we are building tables of
the best available materials and using aluminum alloy castings, extrusions
and stainless steel these products have all been tested and proven for years
to be the absolute best for any outdoor conditions.
- Pricing: We will be the first to admit
were not here to be the cheapest tables, were not here to compete with the
bargain basement products were here to be the absolute best at a fair price..
we are firm believers that " To those whom believe price is the only
consideration deserve what they get" Our tables are built to the highest
specifications and playability and this is built into all out tables from our
entry level to our customs..
- Slate vs; Composite Beds: The bed of
the table is the playing surface this is where the trueness and playability
begin, if the bed is not perfect so the playability will not be. Slate beds
have been used for pool tables beds for hundreds of years and through these
years there have been attempts to use other materials to replace this heavy
rock with a lighter more suitable substance that's easier to move and
transport and gives an equal playability, so far this has not happened! Slate
will not be replaced by cement fiber substrates, partial boards, wood
substrates, fiberglass sheets or any other materials in any near future so
lets look at why.
- Slate: Slate can be mined from many different countries,
Italy, Brazil, China or whatever all have similar characteristics and
consistencies most slates are machined to within .002 - .010 (ten thousandths) of an
inch tolerance mostly .002-.005 or better which cant and will never be duplicated
by these other products and be as cost effective as slate and their tolerances
are not as stable as slate with weather changes and temperature playing a
factor. We experimented with several types of fiber substrate and fiberglass
filled cements, fiber boards, MDF boards and even marine grade plywood's build
up veneers and everything that we could think of and others offered !nothing
ever came close to the slate in any playability or longevity tests. Were
convinced that until some miracle product comes along Slate is the only bed
for a pool table...( although we offer a low end entry level table with a bed
made exclusively from a waterproof board we feel this is only for those where
weight is a main concern and we make it very clear that we don't recommend
this for extreme outdoor use).
- Rubber Cushions: can and always will be a factor in
all pool tables indoor or out! The consistency of play and longevity are main
concerns in this game and we have tested them both.. There are many types and
styles of rubber rail bumpers available to pool table manufacturers, plus
there are quality and specifications to be considered. We have chosen a gum
rubber k-66 profile (meaning the angle of the cushion in relation to the
contact of the ball) we also have utilized the corrected ball contact point of
1.40 inches from the bed which is consistent with professional and tournament
designed pool tables. We are convinced and of course have tested the longevity
of rail rubber in high heat and wet conditions and what we find is a good long
life of our rail rubbers simply because they are covered in the waterproofed "sunbrella
Cloth" that repels water and shields and cools the rail rubber. We find this
cloth prevents the damaging u.v. rays of the sun from attacking the cushion
rubber, we have had tables in service for years and find no problems with the
rail rubber going bad, we also have eliminated the use of wood as backing for
our rails as we use a urethane composite rail backer to adhere our rail
cushions to which we make a excellent bond between the rubber cushion and the
rail. (Woods found on other outdoor tables absorb moisture and can release the
glues making the rails play somewhat soggy and dead as we pool players call
it) we experience great rail response even after 5 years of testing in the
direct sunlight!
- Slate: We use quality slate
almost exclusively as this seems to have the most consistent run-out and
trueness, other slates are also very consistent but our jig fixtures are built
to accommodate the quality slate drill patterns.
- Q and A: Question
Recently we were asked, What makes
your table more expensive are they not made the same and why do you feel your
table is better?.
- ANSWER: We have done very intense home work and studied all
the available products on the market and found few similarities between our
product and the others available. The only similarity is the use of the '"sunbrella
outdoor fabric
http://outdoorfabrics.com/warranty.htm which is used by other companies
and the use of slate on some of the competitors tables (most use a fiber board
or a composite board as a playing surface). once again we believe there is no
substitution for precision honed slate (we have experimented with a water
proof product as a bed and offer this on our low end table only when the table
is not exposed to severe weather conditions and weight is also a concern) we
have had very excellent results and will continue to test and offer similar
products all the time.
- Question: How does your tables
compare and what similarities to other outdoor tables do your tables have..
- Answer: Our tables are not
like any other outdoor tables and were glad of that! we did not build the
first outdoor pool table but then again would you feel comfortable driving a model
A ford in downtown traffic today! We built a better mousetrap! we built from
the ground up a completely new design based on an old theory that is in no way
comparable to any other outdoor pool table on the market today and we will
surly be a leader in design and development tommorrow now its a case of follow
the leader as we will continue to build new designs and better an already
superior product! Our outdoor pool tables
are not built like the competition we build them to last, play like pool
tables and are stylish, we guarantee that, plus our many models make them fit
into most environments inside and out!
- Question: How do the tables stand up
in the rain and weather? ANSWER: Our exclusive tables are built from all
products that are found in outdoor environments everyday all across the world.
4 main ingredients, Aluminum-stainless steel-protective Powder Coat
Finish-proven slate beds! all 4 are proven on a daily basis worldwide to be
the 4 best corrosion resistant materials! These are the components of our
outdoor pool tables, NO particle board, vinyl covered plywood, liquid rubber
painted over wood products, concrete boards, particle board supported
fiberglass!~ We refer to this as built in obsolencence. We use proven aluminum
and stainless steel and a rock! (Slate) its a no brainer! Buying an outdoor
pool table is a sizeable investment amortize your fun over possibly a
couple of years or a lifetime! you choose!!!!! The only table with a
lifetime guarantee against defects and replacement guarantee for any non
serviceable part of your outdoor pool table for life ..
- Question: How about the felt, how
long does it last? ANSWER: Generally we feel the felt is a consumable item
like all pool tables cloth on an indoor table usually lasts 3-4 years in
household use and 6-12 months in commercial applications, our outdoor felt is
100% acrylic and is resistant to fading, rot, mil due, tearing and generally
will last 3-5 years with general care. The cloth we use exclusively is
warranted by the manufacturer for 3 years against all the above and will
replace the fabric absolutely free during that period, this is better than any
indoor pool table cloth available in the world..
- Are Our Tables Just For Outdoors?
not at all!!! our custom pool tables are at home inside just as
well and are even more suited to the interior surroundings than nearly any
indoor table available today! Our tables can accomodate custom faux finishes
can be veneered with custom micas and woods or finished with standard and
custom powder coat finishes...
- Custom Accessories: we can
build accessories to go with any table style from custom cue racks to pub
tables and light kits.
- Question: Do You Build A Coin
Operated Model?
- Answer: Yes we have
experimented with several designs of outdoor coin operated models and are
close to the manufacture of the absolute best coin operated pool table ever!
We have developed a table that just may play better than most current indoor
bar style tables and will be 100% water proof ! Currently we are taking orders
for this table and plan on unveiling this table sometime in June-August 2004..
Some of our competitors have been looking in the back door for a sneak peek
but they wouldn't know what they were looking for anyway !
- Lighting and Cue Racks we are the only
custom outdoor pool table company in the world so it would only be right if we
introduced the lighting and accessories to go with it! We manufacturer a line
of custom cue racks some not shown on our site for the outdoor pool tables.
these racks are as all our equipment fully waterproof and comes with our
lifetime warranty!!
- Question: What about when we the owner will have
to have service or have the table recovered?
- Answer: Our tables are built similar to
conventional style tables the only difference is the choice of materials
meaning stainless steel and corrosion resistant aluminum.. the rails and slate
attachments and cloth installation is nearly the same as many standard indoor
pool tables meaning that any pool table technician is very familiar with the
repair and construction of our tables even though they may never seen one
up close. We offer the original replacement cloth which the cost is very close
to or even less expensive than most standard indoor cloths used today! We
offer also the exact replacement pocket assemblies for less than any standard
matching assemblies available today even cheaper than those imported pockets
used on many indoor tables sold today!
- JUST FOR THE RECORD!! We sent our technicians out in the field to
recover another manufacturers (we wont throw any rocks here) outdoor pool
table and we have found that this is not the case of other outdoor tables as
to refelt several of the models from other manufacturers you simply have to
remove the slate from a giant 6" deep pocket just to remove and replace the
cloth! this is a job for superman as this slate weighs over 500 lbs and has to
be lifted over 6 inches just to expose the sides of the cloth! Now when you
get this 500lb rock out of the hole we found it nearly impossible to remove
the staples and replace the cloth, then if your successful here you then must
once again lift this slate and place it back in this big 4x8 foot hole! When
we were finished we got to sing soprano in the local choir with ease.. the All
Weather Outdoor table designed and built exclusively by us can be easily
re-clothed successfully by nearly anyone (soon we will offer a video showing
an 82 year Great Grandmother and her 62 year old Daughter) replace the cloth
on there own All Weather Outdoor Billiards Table!
- Shipping variables: Shipping
procedures are somewhat variable to a degree there are several ways we can
ship your table.. unfortunately this being a pool table it is going to be
heavy which is a necessary evil if you want the table to play well and last in
any outdoor environment. Our tables like no other available can be broken
down and shipped in pieces or can be assembled entirely and shipped as a
single unit or can be disassembled and reassembled on the final playing area..
This is a quality only offered by us we have revolutionized this design and
are the only outdoor pool table company that offers such versatility..
All of the other companies only offer a one piece construction which is always
going to be very hard to install in many areas such as a second floor or a
lanai where as our table can be completely disassembled and the single most
heaviest part is the slate section at approx 150 lbs(7'). This is only
available with our exclusive design..
We will add some to this later we have had many questions
related to these comments and thought we would try to answer these through this
message and save the guess work..
