What You Need To Know About Moving Your Pool Table
Whatever the reason for moving your pool table, it is important NOT to let any moving companies, carpet crews, or handymen attempt to lift or move your pool table. Pool tables are bulky, cumbersome, and can weigh up to 1,000 pounds making them an extremely difficult item to move.
The proper way to move a pool table is to disassemble the table completely. Table components should be wrapped in moving blankets, especially the rails. The slates must be positioned flat. Just because the cloth is coming off when you take the table apart does not mean that it cannot be upholstered once again with the same billiard cloth/felt. Don’t let some pool hall junkie convince you that it has to have new cloth.
