Tips on Moving a Beach Pool Table

Beach Billiards has been making quality pool tables for over 50 years. Pool is a fun game loved and played by many. Moving pool tables is not so fun. It is not as simple as moving a heavy chair or mattress. Pool tables can be very bulky and are relatively heavy in nature and need special care when being moved. Whatever type of pool table, there are a few tips that can make the move a little easier.

  1. Dollies

    • Dollies are tools used by furniture companies to move items too large or heavy to move by hand. They are sturdy and make moving much easier, no matter the size of object. With the help of some friends, each corner of the pool table can be lifted and the dolly placed securely under the foot. When all four corners have been lowered onto the dollies the pool table can be easily glided across the floor to the new location. Moving dollies with a flat-panel surface, which furniture can sit on, are ideal for this type of move.

    Dis-assembling

    • If the pool table is too large to fit through a doorway, dis-assembly is a good way to transport pool tables. Most pool tables can be broken down into smaller parts with the use of tools. Once broken down, the pieces can be carried by hand to their new spot and re-assembled there. Tools to get this done include staple pullers for felt, and flat head screwdrivers.

    Movers

    • Another way of moving a pool table is to hire professional movers, who are trained and have experience in moving heavy objects. The price of hiring a mover may vary depending on size and over all design of the table. Another benefit of hiring movers is that they can help with leveling, re-felting, dis-assembly and re-assembly of the table. Shop around to get quotes from different companies to determine the cheapest and most reliable.
