The Important Things You Need To Know About Installing Your Pool Table
Whichever reason you have for moving your pool table, the proper way & safest way to install a pool table, is to disassemble the table completely even if you are just wanting it moved across the room. We know this can be a little more time consuming and an added expense, however, attempting to move a pool table completely assembled can damage the pool table or worse.... cause serious injury to yourself or loved one. If the pool table is being moved from one address to another, the components should be wrapped in moving blankets, especially the rails and the 3 pieces of slate must be positioned flat during transport.

Just because the cloth is coming off when you take the table apart does not mean that it cannot be re-upholstered once again with the same billiard cloth. The way you use it, the grade of balls used, as well as the way you have taken care of the cloth will ultimately determine how long your cloth will last and if it needs to be replaced.

AGE: Depending on the age of the cloth you have or how many times it has been removed and re-stretched, your cloth may be beginning to or already is deteriorating and loosing its resilience. The age of the cushions under the cloth can be a factor as well. If the cushions show signs of hardening in part or in whole, they will need to be replaced which requires the cloth to be replaced.
GRADE: The type of cloth you have may determine how many times it can be re-stretched.
WEAR: Normal wear on your cloth is inevitable. The way you or the others that play on it or the type of ball set you are using can determine if it should or needs to be replaced. Does it have little tears in the surface or around the inside of pocket area? Are there an abundance of little white dots on the surface?
CARE: How you take care of your cloth can determine the longevity of your cloth. Do you brush your cloth regularly in the same direction? Do you have inexperienced players miscueing and hitting the cloth with the tip of the cue?
COST: It will always bee less expensive to change your cloth at the same time of your move. The pool table will already be apart due to it being moved so, overall, there is less time involved for your installation service company verses them making a separate trip to perform a cloth recover.
