How to move a pool table?

There is a wide range of pool tables on the market with a wide variety of prices, quality and sizes. All have one thing in common: the length is twice the width. Commercially, there are four main categories of pool tables: toy tables, residential tables, commercial tables, and professional tables.

If you want to move the pool table from one room to another, you can do so without dismantling it. It should also not be too heavy. Depending on the model, a pool table weighs between 200 and 1000 kg. In this case, we will use 4 trolleys that we will put under each leg of the pool table, which will allow easy movement.

To begin with, you need to protect and wrap each leg of the pool table so that it does not break during transport.

It is also important to protect the pool table cloth and the entire table with moving blankets and bubble wrap for safe transport.

If you plan to move the pool table from one house to another, it is advisable to disassemble it just to make transportation easier and safer.

  2. Remove the bolts under each rail. Usually there are three or four bolts under each rail.
