Quick Step By Step Instructions 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.

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.

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.

Moving a table is very very hard work that needs good arms and sturdy backs. While it is possible to move it without professional aid, it is still best with you acquire the services of professional movers. There are bound to be movers near you, as really great ones are found in cities like Denver, Colorado. These movers offer great services for affordable rates, so you do not have to strain your back trying to save money.
