Moving a pool table is much more complex than it might seem at first glance.
While having a pool table provides you with built-in entertainment, when it comes time to move it to a new location, you might be unsure how to begin. The fact is that pool table moving is far more difficult than it appears at first glance. Unlike conventional furniture, pool tables are large, complicated, and finely balanced pieces of equipment that must be carefully disassembled, transported, and reassembled to ensure they work as they should in your new space.
Each component, from the slate bed to the rails, felt, and frame, must be handled with care during pool table moving to avoid damage or misalignment. Not only that but the slate, which can weigh hundreds of pounds, is highly fragile and can easily crack or warp if lifted or positioned incorrectly. In addition, pool tables must be re-leveled after installation to ensure precise gameplay, which requires specific tools and knowledge.
With these things in mind, you might wonder if it’s simply easier to leave the table where it is, even if that means having to buy a new one at your next address.
