There are many common elements of the game of washers that attribute to the need for improvement and further development. RiverCity Washers is dedicated to researching these characteristics and where applicable; provide an alternative to further evolve this game of skill and foster the growth of this wonderful sport. We pride ourselves with the determination and ability to offer fellow washer game enthusiasts innovative products.
The textured rubber surface that is adhered to the top of the molded plastic washer game board provides a surface that grips the powdercoated steel washer upon landing. This attributes to more washers remaining on the washer board in the scoring area and prevents such washers from sliding off the playing area after subsequent throws. Another benefit of this textured rubber surface is that it significantly reduces the noise experienced from washers being thrown on the washer boards. This feature allows for late night games to be played outdoors without bothering neighbors, campers, guests, etc.
One particular benefit from the design of the washer pitching board itself allows for any number of objects to be positioned underneath the washer board. For example, when placing the washer game board on a rug, or carpet sample, the noise is dramatically reduced. This can also be achieved outdoors when playing in grass, or on leaves. The reduction in noise is a particular benefit for those of you who play indoors and appreciate not having to listen to metal washers smacking against wood, or any other hard playing surface.
Please remember that it is suggested that the game of washers be played on surfaces such as; grass, dirt, carpet, or sand. Any other surface that is abrasive runs a greater risk that may cause the metal washers to wear quicker than expected, thus creating rough edges on the washers. This rough outer edge on the powdercoated steel washer has the ability to tear the rubber surface though this doesn't significantly impact the performance of the game.
In order to maintain our slogan of 'Go Green', it is important to remember that all of our products are made from 100% recyclable materials. This textured rubber surface is manufactured from recycled rubber tires and is made right here in the U.S.A.
