Steps To Execute A DIY Pool Table Removal

Whether you are moving to the locals or interstate of Adelaide, moving a pool table only seems simple but genuinely it is very difficult when it comes to the execution part.

Keep this thing in your mind that pool table removal is not like moving a dining table or other household furniture.

It has its own series of steps and which must be followed accurately. Here we have mentioned the complete process of moving a pool table or billiard table by yourself:

Step 1: First pack all the accessories of your pool table like the stick, balls, etc into a moving box and label it. No pool table or billiard table is complete without all the balls and the stick. Therefore, it is important to secure these things before going to the next step.

Step 2: Take out all the parts of the pool table. In the moving industry, this step is called dismantling or disassembling of the removable parts.

Moving a whole pool table is quite difficult to manage and can harm you and your pool table. Therefore, before moving and packing, it is important to disassemble all the detachable parts like the slate, felt, rails, pockets, legs, etc  of your pool table.

Step 3: Start dismantling from removing the rails. Remove each rail by flipping your pool table carefully. Take help of one or two people who can help you in turning the pool table. Use a socket wrench to remove the bolts of the rail quickly.

Step 4: Removal of felt is the most tricky part of the pool table relocation process. It is quite time-consuming and needs patience and steady hands for removing it.

If the felt is attached with the help of staple pins, then remove these pins carefully with a suitable tool.

And if it is attached with glue then gently rip it off. Take care while you are doing this job, because one wrong step can ruin your felt and you can’t use it anymore.

Step 5: At the fourth step, take off the slate of your pool table or billiard table by using a power drill carefully. The slate is also one of the heaviest parts of a pool table, if it is all in one piece. Therefore, to remove the slate you need a good strong team of people who can lift your heavy slate easily.

If you are having a 2-slate or 3-slate pool table then you also need to dismantle the slate in simpler pieces for easy handling.

Step 6: After complete disassembling of the pool table, it’s time to pack and label each part properly. Use good quality packing supplies if you really want to make your move safe and reliable. Secure all the nuts and bolts into a sealed bag and label it properly.

Pack the pool table wooden piece with bubble wraps and moving blankets, secure its packing with lots of strong tape. Don’t forget to label each part of the pool table. Labelling will help you to reassemble the pool table quickly.

Step 7: The last step is to load your pool table with utmost care and safety. Never try to load all the packed piece of pool table alone, it can be dangerous for you and your pool table too. Ask your team to handle this part of pool table relocation together.

After placing each piece into the moving vehicle, fill the gaps with air pillows to provide extra cushioning and protection from the jerks during the transit.

If you are not able to execute this step, then must hire a man and van moving service for safe loading and moving of your pool table without any damage and hassle.
