Frequently Asked Questions
About Moving a Pool Table
Anyone who has ever moved a pool table will tell you that it’s not a small undertaking. In addition to being extremely heavy, pool tables are also quite delicate, and even a minor bump can throw off the entire surface. As a result, it’s important to take your time when planning a move and to start the process as early as possible.
In general, you should start planning for your move at least six weeks in advance. This will give you plenty of time to rent the necessary equipment, find a reliable pool table mover, and schedule any necessary repairs or maintenance on your pool table.
“Preparation is key to successful moving.” This is something you’ll hear a lot, but it rings especially true when you’re moving a pool table. To prep your table for the big day, follow these four steps:
- Step 1: Buy all the necessary packing supplies and materials.
- Step 2: Remove all items around the table. This includes chairs, lamps, end tables, and any other furniture that might be in the way.
- Step 3: Disassemble the table and do it in sections. Remember to take pictures as you go so you can remember how to put it back together later.
- Step 4: Label the pieces and pack them carefully.
There are a few telltale signs that can indicate that your pool table was damaged during transport. First, take a look at the legs. If they’re bent or twisted, that’s a sign that the table was dropped or otherwise mishandled. Second, inspect the felt for rips, tears, or other damage. Finally, listen for strange noises coming from the table when it’s in use. If you hear creaking, popping, or other unusual noises, that’s another sign that the table wasn’t moved with enough care.
Of course, it’s always a good idea to take photos of your pool table from all angles before pick-up time – that way, if any damage does occur during the move, you’ll have documentation to back up your claim.
Damage to pool tables during moves is not all that common. But what happens if something does go wrong? Fortunately, most reputable movers are insured against damages. So if your pool table is damaged during the move, the mover’s insurance should cover the cost of repairs. However, it’s always a good idea to check with your mover beforehand to make sure that their insurance will cover any damage that might occur.
Another good tip is to take photos of your pool table before it’s disassembled so you can record its condition in case anything happens.
Moving a pool table is hard, but with the right preparation, it can be done. We hope the answers we’ve provided above will give you some guidance as you prepare for your move.
