Moving a pool table

[slow55]

Does anyone on here have any experiance moving pool tables?
I have one I need to taken apart, moved from the garage into a room in the house and put back together.
It's way too damn heavy to try and move in one piece and even if enough people could carry it in it wouldn't fit into the room in one piece.

From what I remember it comes a part into three sections.

we moved a 3 slate table by removing the legs... it was all sorts of fun

I would just hire somebody to do it! LOL

It's worth the money to hire someone

That's what I'm looking for, I'm not fucking with it.
Hell I wanted to move it the other day had to use two foor jacks and some 2x6's just to scoot it 2 feet.

If you want to do it yourself, you will need to remove the bumpers, carefully lift the felt off the table, unscrew the slate, then move all the parts.

I've had a few moved over the years. They'll disassemble it in a few minutes and then it's easier to move around. It's a great time (cost-wise) to have it recovered and bumpers replaced (if necessary). They just charged me for the felt and no labor since it was already apart.

My buddy and I moved mine from my upstairs last summer. It is fairly simple to disassemble and not bad to put back together. All you need to move and reassemble is a couple of strong guys, some beer, bees wax, heat gun, putty knives, spray adhesive, a level, and some more beer.

Probably similar to moving a baby Grand Piano. I had my mother's moved twice. No way I would move something that heavy. We paid for movers to do it and they did it in no time flat. They had a dolly that was set up for moving pianos, etc. the right tool for the job! The legs were taken off....they had a very thick padding the size of a king size bed....

This is one of those jobs that you hire someone, unless all your buddies are juiced up and by buddies I mean eight of them...

I called a place in Euless and they told me $275 to move it.
Screw it, it will be worth it just to not have to mess with it

Did that include new felt?

I don't think so. She didn't say anything about new felt.
Mine is in perfect shape anyways

that's about normal...~$300 to move a table, and that is using the existing felt. if you want new felt, get some simonis cloth and have it there when they move it. here's the guy that i always use:
