Imagine all the good times you could have hanging out on your patio playing a game of pool. If you are in the market for an outdoor pool table it is a good idea to look around for the best quality table you can buy.

There are several things you need to consider when determining which outdoor pool tables are best for you. The outdoor billiard table you purchase should be made from materials designed to resist corrosion like aluminum, slate, exterior fabric, and stainless steel.

It is never a good idea to buy an outdoor pool table made using wood coated with either vinyl or plastic. While their low cost may be enticing they are not a good buy since they will quickly need to be replaced. When shopping for a pool table for outdoor use cost should not be the only thing that you base your decision on.

While you want to get the best deal possible quality is also very important. One particular important part of any pool table is the playing surface. If there are flaws on the playing surface it can interfere with the game. Slate makes the best playing surface.

Cheaper outdoor pool tables will substitute other materials for slate. Some of the materials they use instead include cement fiber substrates, particle board, and fiberglass. Slate offers greater playability and durability than any of these materials. Another important thing to look at when selecting an outdoor pool table is the rubber side rails.

There are several kinds of rubber rail bumpers on the market these days. It is best to buy a type of outdoor pool table that covers the rail rubber with a waterproof cloth that repels water and shields the rubber from sun damage. This way you can put your outdoor pool table anywhere you want without worrying about damaged or soggy rails.

Glasspar Boats Company History

February 3, 2009 by · 30 Comments 

There is actually quite a bit of history that surrounds the classic boat company named Glasspar. Bill Tritt, the founder of the company, began building smaller sized fiberglass boats in his factory in Santa Ana, CA in 1949. Bill Tritt was very dedicated to his boat business, and was stunning the world with his use of fiberglass in the construction of his boats as time passed. He closely studied marine architecture and the art of building boats. His fiberglass boats were sometimes referred to as “plastic boats,” but he knew that fiberglass was the wave of the future. In fact, by the 1950s, Glasspar was manufacturing about fifteen to twenty percent of all the fiberglass boats that were being manufactured and sold in the United States.

Bill Tritt had developed multiple sizes and different styles of boats for all different preferences for his customers. One of the most noted boats that he created was known as the Glasspar G3. This particular boat is probably the most famous of his designs. The Glasspar G3 was named after the G3 missile, because the boat itself looks like a missile when on the water. The G3 ski boat was manufactured from the early 1960s up until the mid 1970s. When Glasspar was sold to Larson boats in the early 1970s, Larson continued to manufacture Glasspar G3 for sale because of their popularity.

The Glasspar G3 boat is actually going to make a rebirth! The boat has not been manufactured new since about 1974. FiberClassic Boat Manufacturing has created a newer version of the G3 ski boat and is bringing it to the marketplace very soon.
