By Heidi Carver


Pool is a very popular game that mostly everyone can play. More commonly known as pocket billiards, this game requires a special table that has six receptacles or pockets wherein you shoot balls using a cue. There are hundreds of variations of games. More popular ones are the eight ball, the nine ball, three ball, straight pool and one pocket.

To be able to play this, you have to have the complete equipment. You will need balls with exact measures. You will need cue sticks of standard length. And most of all, you will need a pool table. These are not your ordinary furniture as they are so heavy you would need to call on pool table movers just to move it from one room to the other.

Pool tables are very heavy, and to move them, you will need a lot of helpers. A weight of about one thousand pounds can not be moved easily and requires great deal of strength in sheer numbers. So gather all your friends around to help and follow these easy procedures on how to move this equipment.

Remove all six pockets first. Be sure to wear safety goggles during this part of the task, because you will have to pull out staple wires using a staple puller. There is a tendency that these staples can unwittingly hit you in the eye, so it is best to be safe than sorry. If you do not have a staple puller, a flat head screw will have to do.

The next step is to remove the rails that run along the entire length of the furniture. These are screwed in position so you need a socket wrench to remove them. With the help of a friend. Slide each side out carefully, flip it over simultaneously and separate each section one by one.

Now that the rails are out, it is easy to see where the felt covering begins. Use again a staple puller or a flat head driver to loosen the cloth. Not all felt covers are fastened, though. Some of them are just kept in place by some glue. If only the glue is used, then all you have to do is to pull all side out gently.

Use power drill to unscrew the screws holding the slate. Some screws are covered with beeswax, so you would have to scrape each with a flat head screwdriver for it to be removed. Stack the slates on top of one another.

To move the table, you will need wooden dollies. Since one dolly is needed for each of the legs of the table, you need four all in all. To avoid scratching the table, it would be wise to cover each dolly with some fabric. Ask the help of others to lift one side of the table. Place dollies underneath each leg. Raise the other side and put the remaining two below the legs.

Moving a table is very very hard work that needs good arms and sturdy backs. While it is possible to move it without professional aid, it is still best with you acquire the services of professional movers. There are bound to be movers near you, as really great ones are found in cities like Denver, Colorado. These movers offer great services for affordable rates, so you do not have to strain your back trying to save money.
