How do I move a pool table?

Question

I need to move a 6' slate top pool table but I need to know if the legs come off easily. It is an arcade style with a ball return. I also need to know if the table will stay together when it's on its side, or if the slate will move.

Answer 1

Carefully!

Answer 2

Sound like you are describing a bar table. I have helped move two of these. They are very heavy you will need four to six people to move it we did not have to take the legs off the ones we moved just set them on their sides to get threw doors. So I'm not sure about how easy it is to get the legs off but I do know those type of tables are one piece slate meaning you can put them on their sides with out the slate coming out. two or more piece slate tables your can't move on their sides because while the slate is screwed to the bed all along the perimeter under the rail edge the centers edges are only kept in place by wax. hope this helps a little and enjoy your new table!

Answer 3

You can get those slider pads. They work real well

Answer 4

You need to remove the top assembly from the leg assembly and can set it on its side on a few folded towels so as not to scratch it up, the slate will stay put. Move the leg assembly to wherever you need it then reattach the top. You will most likely have to re-level the table after bolting it back together, using its leg levelers and a bubble level. If it has a ball return be careful as the top is super heavy typically.

Answer 5

the legs should fold into the table. some pool tables have directions with them, others can be taken apart and put back together. From what you are describing I think the legs fold into the table then you slide it from place to another. I suggest you get a friend to help I might be wrong about this so don't take my word for it,
