  • FIND THE APPROPRIATE MOVING SUPPLIES

You will need the following moving supplies and materials to move and disassemble a pool table:

  • Cardboard boxes
  • Packing tape
  • Blankets
  • Furniture dollies
  • Crownbars
  • Wrench 
  • Shims
  • Bubble wraps
  • Drill
  • Screwdriver

  • HIRE PROFESSIONALS

A pool table can be quickly disassembled and reassembled by someone with sufficient experience and knowledge. A person without any training can get hurt very easily because it requires manual work with hazardous materials and tools. They can also help you save a tonne of time and effort and reduce stress.

  • MEASURE EXISTS

It's crucial to plan and measure every end of your home before disassembling the pool table. To ensure that the pool table fits through openings and around corners during the move, be sure to measure all of the table's dimensions, including exits and any door frames that may need to be removed to move the table outside and load it onto the truck.

  • DISASSEMBLE THE POOL TABLE 

Start by removing all the pockets, rails, and slates from the table and later the staples by using a screwdriver. When disassembling, use a wrench to remove all the bolts. Use furniture dollies and a crowbar to safely position the slate pieces after transferring them there to avoid any damage to the materials. Start to move and unload the slates carefully. Begin to remove the legs and hands of the table slowly and place them on a blanket along with the pockets, rails, and slates. You are now all set to move into the next step. 

  • PACK ALL PARTS OF THE POOL TABLE

You must now carefully pack and load all of the pool table's parts onto the truck after the disassembling process is complete. Put all of the slates into a blanket and secure them with packing tape. Now, wrap the rails and pockets in another blanket but make sure to place a furniture pad in between them. Carefully place all the blankets in a cardboard box one after the other and remember to set up bubble wraps in between the edges to safely secure their movement.

  • ASSEMBLE THE POOL TABLE

To reposition the pool table, repeat the entire procedure. All you need to do is to follow the above steps in a reversed manner. You can also read the beginner's manual that will provide the right guidance in putting the pool table together without much effort.
