Simple Steps For Pool Table Movers

By Heidi Carver


Pool is a very popular game that mostly everyone can play. More commonly known as pocket billiards, this game requires a special table that has six receptacles or pockets wherein you shoot balls using a cue. There are hundreds of variations of games. More popular ones are the eight ball, the nine ball, three ball, straight pool and one pocket.

To be able to play this, you have to have the complete equipment. You will need balls with exact measures. You will need cue sticks of standard length. And most of all, you will need a pool table. These are not your ordinary furniture as they are so heavy you would need to call on pool table movers just to move it from one room to the other.

There are many professional movers. But, this does not mean that it is impossible to move one without professional help. If you wish, you can get as much people as you can to help you share the heavy load as you do these simple steps in moving the furniture.

First off, you need to remove all six pockets. Pull all the staples out using a staple puller or a flat head screw driver. Be sure to wear eye protection because the staples can accidentally fly out in the direction of your eye and can harm you.

The next step is to remove the rails that run along the entire length of the furniture. These are screwed in position so you need a socket wrench to remove them. With the help of a friend. Slide each side out carefully, flip it over simultaneously and separate each section one by one.

The felt goes away after the rails. You will need to use the puller again to pull out the staple wires that hold the cloth in place. However, if the felt is only placed over with glue, simply remove and fold the cloth neatly. You can buy a new felt cover, or you can simply use the old one again.

Some stands have two or even three slates. To remove these slates from the wooden frame, you will need a power drill. Keep in mind to keep all the screws, nuts and bolts to save you the effort, time and money of having to buy replacement ones once these little fasteners get lost. Carefully stack one on top of the other.

Now all that is left is the table itself. To move it, prepare four wooden dollies, one for each leg. It is best to cover it with fabric to avoid inflicting scratches. Lift one side and roll two dollies under each leg. Repeat the process for the other side so that each leg is mounted on a wooden dolly.

Since moving this furniture is very hard, it is not recommended that you do it without professional help especially if you are attempting it for the first time. There are a lot of movers that could help, and they can be found almost everywhere, especially in huge cities like Denver, Colorado. They offer reasonable rates so you do not have to worry about disrupting your budget over a piece of furniture.
