Question

How do you change / take of the felt off of a pool table?

Answer 1

This site offers a book to explain the process. Taking the rails off and replacing the felt isn't super hard, but it can be time consuming when you are not completely familiar with the process.

Answer 2

Unless you are trained to do it, hire a professional to change the cloth.  The rails have to come off and the cushions need to be reclothed as well.  Everything needs to be stretched properly.  Seriously, it's not a do-it-yourself job.  Worth the money.  M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.
