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.

A standard furniture has dimensions of 3.5 by 7 feet. It can weigh to as much as a thousand pounds. You will not be bale to budge it out of position by yourself, so if you want a new location for your furniture, call on as many people as you can who will be able to help you as you carry out these quick procedures in moving it.

Before anything else, have a staple puller and some safety goggles at hand. You will be using both of these when you remove the pockets. Use the puller to pull out the wires that hold the pockets in place. Since these wires can go in all directions when pulled, protect you eyes from getting hit by wearing an eye protector.

After removing all the pockets, the next part you would have to remove is the rails. These are long pieces of wood that prevent the ball from falling out when you are tying to shoot it inside a pocket. Now, with the aid of a peer, unscrew the rails and slide them out. Flip them over and unscrew the underside to separate the sections.

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.

Use power drill to unscrew the screws holding the slate. Some screws are covered with beeswax, so you would have to scrape each with a flat head screwdriver for it to be removed. Stack the slates on top of one another.

To move the table, you will need wooden dollies. Since one dolly is needed for each of the legs of the table, you need four all in all. To avoid scratching the table, it would be wise to cover each dolly with some fabric. Ask the help of others to lift one side of the table. Place dollies underneath each leg. Raise the other side and put the remaining two below the legs.

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.
