Easy To Follow Procedures For Pool Table Movers

By Heidi Carver


Due to its popularity, pool games can be played everywhere. There are the regular pool houses, there are bars that boasts of pocket billiard areas, and you can even play in the comfortable confines of your home. With the complete set, you can play popular variations like eight ball, one pocket, and the like.

There are standard equipment for anyone who wants to play this game. The most important is the pool table. It covered in green felt and has six pockets on every corner plus two more between the long sides where you will shoot or pocket the balls using a cue stick. It can weigh over a thousand pounds, so moving them requires pool table movers. Standard balls are colorful and measures 2.25 inches in diameter. They are pushed into the pockets by cue sticks that are usually 58.5 inches long.

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.

Remove all six pockets first. Be sure to wear safety goggles during this part of the task, because you will have to pull out staple wires using a staple puller. There is a tendency that these staples can unwittingly hit you in the eye, so it is best to be safe than sorry. If you do not have a staple puller, a flat head screw will have to do.

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.

Loosen the felt. You will have to use staple pullers if the felt is fastened down. In some cases, though, the felt is only glued up so all you will need to do is pull gently, taking care not to rip the fabric. Fold it neatly to prevent wrinkles if you plan on reusing them.

To remove the slates, use a power drill. You may also need to use a flat head screwdriver again if the screws are coated with beeswax. Simply scrape out the beeswax away with the screw driver then you can proceed with the power drill. Carefully stack these slates together.

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.
