Simple Steps For Pool Table Movers

By Heidi Carver


Almost everyone can play pool, played on a large table with six pockets. The main objective of this game is to shoot the balls insides the pockets with the use of a long stick. There are many kind of games and these include the most common ones like the straight pool, one pocket, and nine ball.

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.

Pool tables are very heavy, and to move them, you will need a lot of helpers. A weight of about one thousand pounds can not be moved easily and requires great deal of strength in sheer numbers. So gather all your friends around to help and follow these easy procedures on how to move this equipment.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
