Hathaway Highlander 55-in Outdoor Foosball Table
Take the Game Outside — A Full-Size Foosball Table Built to Live on Your Patio, Pool Deck, or Yard
Every component of the Hathaway Highlander is engineered for the outdoors: waterproof play surface, rust-proof aluminum rods, weather-resistant HDF cabinet, and a cover to protect it all when the game is done.
The Hathaway Highlander 55-in Outdoor Foosball Table (model BG3148) is purpose-built for life outside. Where standard foosball tables warp, rust, and fall apart the moment they meet rain, humidity, or sun, the Highlander is engineered to take it — with a laminated HDF cabinet finished in gloss white, a waterproof bright blue HDF play surface, 5/8-in aluminum rods that won't corrode, and ABS break-resistant players that handle whatever the elements throw at them. The result is a full-size, genuinely competitive foosball experience that belongs on your patio, pool deck, or in your backyard — and stays there season after season. A weather-resistant nylon cover and a 1-year limited warranty are included.
Engineered for the Elements — Built for the Game
The Highlander isn't an indoor table relocated outside — it's an outdoor foosball table designed from the ground up to resist weather, play true, and look sharp doing it.
HDF Play Surface That Shrugs Off Rain
The 0.5-in thick HDF play surface is laminated with a durable waterproof bright blue finish — rain doesn't warp it, humidity doesn't buckle it, and UV exposure doesn't fade it out of recognition. You get a flat, consistent surface that plays true whether it rained last night or not.
Rust-Proof 5/8-in Rods That Stay Smooth Outside
Steel rods rust outdoors — sometimes within a single season. The Highlander uses 5/8-in aluminum rods with E-Z spin bearings so the rods stay rust-free and rotate freely year after year, regardless of moisture or salt air. No grinding, no seizing, no replacement.
Laminated HDF Cabinet Built for Outdoor Durability
The 0.75-in thick HDF cabinet panels are laminated with a weather-resistant gloss white finish that resists moisture and UV damage. The result is a table that holds its clean, modern look through rain, sun, and everything in between.
ABS Break-Resistant Players in Black and White
Twenty-six ABS break-resistant players — 13 black, 13 white — are built to survive the heat, cold, and rough-and-tumble play that outdoor foosball invites. ABS holds up to UV exposure and temperature swings far better than standard plastics.
Comfort Grip Octagon Handles for Hours of Play
The octagon-shaped ABS comfort grip handles give you a firm, ergonomic hold for fast spins and precise pushes — designed for extended outdoor sessions where grip fatigue is a real concern. The octagon profile prevents your hand from slipping mid-play.
Weather-Resistant Nylon Cover Protects Between Games
A weather-resistant nylon cover is included in the box — not an upsell, not an add-on. Throw it on when the game ends and the table is protected from rain, debris, bird droppings, and direct sun whenever it's not in use.
Cross-Supported Surface and Leg Levelers for a True Playing Field
The Highlander's play surface is fully cross supported to stay flat and resist flex during play, and integrated leg levelers let you compensate for uneven patio, deck, or yard surfaces so the ball rolls true no matter where you set it up. These aren't afterthoughts — they're the difference between a table that plays fair and one that sends the ball sideways every time.
Bold Blue and White — A Table That Looks at Home Outside
The Highlander's high-contrast color scheme — bright blue playing surface against a gloss white cabinet — is a deliberate outdoor aesthetic. It reads cleanly in sunlight, holds up visually against grass, pavers, and decking, and makes the whole setup look like it was designed for the space rather than dragged out from a basement. This is a table that makes your backyard or pool deck look better, not just more crowded.
Who the Hathaway Highlander Outdoor Foosball Table Is For
- Patio and pool deck entertainers — the Highlander is built to live outside and look good doing it, with a bold blue-and-white aesthetic that fits naturally in outdoor entertaining spaces.
- Homeowners in humid, coastal, or rainy climates — aluminum rods and laminated HDF construction resist the rust, warping, and finish failure that end most outdoor game tables prematurely.
- Families with kids who play hard — 26 ABS break-resistant players, a waterproof surface, and robust construction handle the kind of enthusiastic play that outdoor settings invite, supporting 2 to 4 players at once.
- Buyers tired of moving the table in and out — the weather-resistant design and included nylon cover mean the Highlander can live outside permanently without the seasonal shuffle of bringing it indoors.
- Vacation rental and resort owners — full-size outdoor foosball is a high-engagement amenity; the Highlander's durability and included cover keep maintenance low and uptime high.
- Anyone who wants a genuinely outdoor-rated foosball table — not a converted indoor table, but a purpose-built outdoor piece with every component chosen to withstand the elements.

Hathaway Highlander Outdoor Foosball Table — Frequently Asked Questions
Is this table actually designed for outdoor use, or is it just water-resistant?
The Highlander is purpose-built for outdoor use. Every major component is chosen specifically for outdoor durability: the play surface is waterproof laminated HDF, the cabinet is laminated with a weather-resistant gloss white finish, the rods are aluminum (not steel) so they won't rust, and the players are ABS break-resistant plastic rated to handle temperature swings and UV exposure. A weather-resistant nylon cover is included to protect the table between sessions.
Why aluminum rods instead of steel?
Steel rods rust when exposed to outdoor moisture, rain, humidity, and salt air — often within a single season. Aluminum doesn't rust, so the Highlander's 5/8-in aluminum rods stay smooth and freely rotating year after year, even in coastal or wet climates. The E-Z spin bearings are also selected for outdoor-appropriate performance. This is the single most important hardware distinction between an outdoor-rated foosball table and an indoor one set outside.
What are the overall dimensions of the Highlander?
The Highlander measures 55 in long x 29.25 in wide x 34.5 in tall (approximately 139.7 cm x 74.3 cm x 87.6 cm) and weighs 116 lbs. The playing surface is 46 in long x 26.75 in wide. Plan for adequate clearance on all sides so players can reach and operate the rods comfortably — typically at least 3 to 4 ft on each long side.
Does a cover come with the table?
Yes. A weather-resistant nylon cover is included in the box with the Highlander — it's not a separate purchase. Using the cover when the table isn't in use will meaningfully extend its lifespan, particularly for direct sun exposure and incidental debris.
Can this table stay outside year-round in all weather conditions?
The Highlander is designed to withstand outdoor conditions including rain, humidity, and UV exposure. For maximum longevity, using the included nylon cover when the table is not in use is recommended — particularly during extended periods of rain, harsh sun, or winter weather. Even weather-resistant materials benefit from protection when not actively in use. Positioning the table under a covered patio or pergola will also help extend its lifespan.
What is HDF, and why is it used instead of wood or MDF?
HDF (High Density Fiberboard) is a denser, more dimensionally stable engineered panel than standard MDF, which makes it a better base material for a laminated outdoor surface. When combined with the Highlander's protective laminate finish, the HDF cabinet and play surface resist moisture penetration and warping better than uncoated wood or lower-density panels. The laminate is what makes the surface waterproof; the HDF provides the rigidity and flatness underneath.
How many players does the Highlander support?
The Highlander supports 2 to 4 players — one or two per side. With 26 players total (13 black, 13 white), each team has a clearly distinct set of figures for easy identification during play.
What are the players made of, and are they counterbalanced?
The Highlander's 26 players are made from ABS plastic and are described as break-resistant, chosen for durability in outdoor temperature conditions where some plastics can become brittle. The manufacturer's specifications do not explicitly state whether the players are counterbalanced — contact Deck & Den or Blue Wave Products at (800) 759-0977 for confirmation if counterbalancing is important to your buying decision.
What handles does this table use?
The Highlander uses ABS comfort grip octagon-shaped handles — a harder-wearing choice than wood handles for an outdoor table, since ABS won't swell, crack, or deteriorate from moisture exposure the way wood can over time. The octagon profile gives a firm, no-slip grip during extended outdoor play sessions.
Does the table have leg levelers?
Yes. The Highlander has integrated leg levelers so you can compensate for uneven patio, deck, or yard surfaces and keep the playing field flat. This is especially useful outdoors where surfaces are rarely as level as a finished interior floor.
Does assembly require tools, and how long does it take?
Assembly takes approximately 60 minutes. A hex wrench is included in the box. You will also need a Phillips head screwdriver, which is not included. The manufacturer provides two assembly manuals for this model.
What foosballs are included?
Two 36-mm ABS foosballs are included. ABS foosballs are more durable than standard resin balls and hold up better under outdoor play conditions including sun exposure and temperature variation.
What warranty comes with the Highlander?
The Highlander is covered by Hathaway's 1-year limited warranty against defects in material or workmanship from the original retail purchase date — a longer term than Hathaway's indoor foosball tables, reflecting the higher durability demands of an outdoor-rated product. The warranty is non-transferable, applies to the original retail purchaser only, and is honored directly by the manufacturer, Blue Wave Products. Contact Blue Wave at (800) 759-0977 or warranty@bluewaveproducts.com for warranty service.
How does the Highlander compare to an indoor foosball table placed outside?
An indoor foosball table placed outdoors will typically show deterioration within a season or two: steel rods rust, wood cabinets swell and warp, and standard plastic players become brittle. The Highlander is designed from the start for outdoor life — aluminum rods that don't rust, laminated HDF panels that resist moisture and warping, ABS break-resistant players that handle temperature changes, and an included weather cover. If you want a foosball table that genuinely lives outside without requiring constant maintenance or early replacement, the Highlander is the appropriate tool for that job.
Is this table appropriate for a pool deck or near a pool?
Yes — the Highlander is explicitly designed for patio, pool, and yard environments. The waterproof play surface, weather-resistant cabinet, and rust-proof aluminum rods are all chosen to handle the splashes, humidity, and sun exposure typical of a pool deck setting. Using the included cover when the table isn't in use will help protect it from prolonged direct water exposure and chemical air from pool chlorination.
Is this table safe for use around young children?
The manufacturer does not list a choking hazard designation for this table, unlike Hathaway's indoor foosball models. The table supports 2 to 4 players and is designed for recreational family outdoor play. Adult supervision is always recommended for young children around any game table.
What is Deck & Den's shipping and return policies on this table?
Deck & Den offers free shipping on orders over $100 to the contiguous 48 states. This table is eligible for a 45-day return from the date of purchase. If you find a lower price from an authorized dealer, contact us about our price match policy.
