Fun And Games With The Kids

I know that weather is getting warmer and it seems like the kids have more activities than we have hours in the day but we still have some items to keep them at home and spending time together as a family. We have many game tables still in stock and have pool tables on display as well. Just because the days are getting longer doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy some time with your family without going out and spending a lot of money. Some of the tables are very economical and would cost you less than taking the entire family out to one Cincinnati Reds game. You can still have quality time with your family without breaking the bank. Come see our full lineup of game tables and pool tables on display year round.

Billiard Table Cloth

You can dramatically increase the life of your table’s cloth simply by changing ends when you break. Alternate ends when you break and the cloth will not wear as badly. Also, brush the table frequently. No only does this help keep the table clean, it restores the cloth’s pile or nap and keeps the balls running true. — Max

Why? . . . Because It’s Fun!

Sometime when you have some time to play around on the web, like after you’ve checked out the entire Eastgate Pools web site, do a search for Gatlinburg Chalet Rentals. Go to a few realtors’ web sites and you will notice a common theme. More and more rentals feature hot tubs, pool tables and game tables. Chalet owners know that prospective renters are looking for quality time to spend with their loved ones, and they are looking to have fun, as after all, the renters are on vacation. By providing these amenities, the chalet owner increases the likelihood of renting out their property.

This Gatlinburg phenomenon reminds me once again why Eastgate Pools & Spas’ motto is “Resort living …at home”. Vacations are great, but the same things that help make vacation fun can be enjoyed year-round right in your very own home.

Rack ‘Em Up

As I approach my sixth winter here at Eastgate Pools I’m excited to get back to talking pool tables. My background has always been in furniture and that immediately helped me to understand what goes into a good pool table. Buying a quality pool table is simple if you know going in to not let yourself get too caught up by a manufacturer name or a sales pitch. The most important things to look for in a quality table are solid wood top rails and aprons, a slate playing surface, and quality natural gum rubber cushions. If you have these three components you are well on your way to a product that will be with you for years and years to come. The rest of the details are just about what kind of furniture you want. Naturally, a solid wood construction is very nice and routing in the cabinet can be very attractive, but they aren’t necessary for the durability of the table. In other words, if you see a table here that you like you can buy based on the look and price you like. No matter what you choose you can feel comfortable knowing you bought a table that will play and last just as well as that brand X table your friend paid $5000 for. - Craig

Take A Seat

As long as you don’t take my seat we will be ok. The nice thing about Eastgate Pools and Spas is that we have plenty to choose from. We have many styles of barstools available and should have one that will meet your needs as well. We have wooden and metal stools, counter and bar height, swivel and stationary, and many other options as well. Barstools can take a room from being a place no one wants to be in, to the most popular room in the house. They can also add a little style to a room that might be a little outdated, or use the stools to show off your own personal style. Whatever reason you might have for wanting barstools in your house we will have one that will fit your needs.

Looking For A Game Table Or Pool Table?

As the billiard and game table buyer for Eastgate Pools & Spas, my attention increases any time I see ads for these product lines. What I have noticed during the last year or so, and especially very recently, is that many of my competitors have reduced their offerings of game tables and pool tables. Well, I am happy to report that Eastgate has not followed their example, as our selection of game tables and pool tables is as large, if not larger than ever. While billiards and game tables is just a little side item for some stores, it is an important part of Eastgate Pool’s constant desire to provide resort living at home for our customers. So while others are cutting back to save some money on inventory, our game table and pool table selection is as large as ever.

Baby It’s Cold Outside – How About Inside Games?

Do you like to play pool and ping-pong but only have room for one table? Well, we have two options for you:

1. Do without one and miss out on half the fun (NOT recommended!)

2. Get the pool table and then add a conversion top. This is a regulation ping-pong table that is in two pieces and it rests on top of the pool table. This lets you have a full size version of both in just half the space. And don’t worry about scratching the pool table with the conversion top, as there is a protective pad that is attached to the conversion top. When you aren’t using the conversion top, store it under the pool table.

Christmas Present – Pool Cues!

While some people break with a two-piece cue, most of the experts say not to. A two-piece cue faces great compression where it screws together and will often break. Pick up a nice, inexpensive, HEAVY breaking cue and keep you expensive two-piece intact for the finesse game. –Max

Christmas Ideas!

How about a nice pool cue for the pool aficionado? We sell a couple hundred every year as presents so other people just think the same way. Here is a tip though: Do a little spying before you come in and see if the prospective gift recipient likes a light or heavy cue. It doesn’t sound like it would be important, but if they use an 18 ounce cue and you get them a 21 ounce cue, it’s like the temperature difference from July to February.

When in doubt, a gift certificate is always a good choice.

We Offer Pool Table Recovering

service — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 15:37:26 +0000

I am sure you remember how good your table looked when it was done. The bed cloth was spotless and the balls rolled true. Over the years, the cloth has changed for a number of reasons. A big stain from someone spilling a pop, tear in the pockets, burn hole or just fading from the sun.

Well, we can fix that problem for you. We offer a recovering service to get that Pool Table looking new again. We have a great selection of cloth colors to choose from. So stop in today or call and talk to one of our sales associates.
