Outdoor pool tables are covered by a 1 year warranty against manufacturing defects and craftsmanship from the date of purchase of the original owner. American Heritage Billiards outdoor pool tables are manufactured and rated for outdoor use under typical conditions. Severe weather environments, extreme heat and cold, and exposure to salt air are not ideal. We recommend always covering your outdoor pool table when not in use with our American Heritage Billiards UV resistant table cover. We advise setting up your outdoor pool table in a protected and covered area out of direct contact with rain or sun to ensure the lifespan of this produce. Avoid locations where this product will be used within 50 miles of salt water. The rails for this specific model are made of aluminum. There are many different ways to install pool table felt. You may use whatever method you prefer. We suggest using the feather strips included or stainless steel, galvanized needle point staples, divergent staples, or cement glue like King Cobra RKC250 Billiard Table Contact Cement Glue. When leveling your slate consider if extreme heat conditions are possible. Some environments may experience high temperature weather that can melt beeswax. Beeswax melts at 140° F. We suggest using Durham's Rock Hard DU-1 1 lbs. Water Putty for installing this product in locations with a high heat index.”
