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.

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.

First off, you need to remove all six pockets. Pull all the staples out using a staple puller or a flat head screw driver. Be sure to wear eye protection because the staples can accidentally fly out in the direction of your eye and can harm you.

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.

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.

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.

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.
