Simple Steps 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.

In order to play pool, you have to have tools. A special table measures 3.5 by 7 feet and weighs up to a thousand pounds. Due to its weight, one will be requiring the help of pool table movers should you wish to transfer your furniture to another location. Other equipment includes balls and cue sticks.

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.

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.

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.

Now that the rails are out, it is easy to see where the felt covering begins. Use again a staple puller or a flat head driver to loosen the cloth. Not all felt covers are fastened, though. Some of them are just kept in place by some glue. If only the glue is used, then all you have to do is to pull all side out gently.

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.

With everything gone, all that remains is the wooden stand. Even without all the slates, this can still weigh heavily so you are required to have four wooden dollies. Each of the four goes under each leg. First lift one side the slip two dollies under each leg, then lift the other side and slip the remaining two underneath the legs on this side. With the furniture mounted on wheels, it is now easier to roll the table to another room.

Though everything seems overly simple, the reality remains to be that moving this is very hard work. This is best left for the pros to handle, because they have already mastered a system to get about the task with efficiency and without inflicting damage to your table. If you are worried about the service fees associated with professional table movers, then you do not have to worry because movers even in fairly big cities like Denver, Colorado offer competitive rates to clients.
