How do I move an 8 foot pool table down three flights of stairs?

admin — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 02:18:11 +0000

Found a free pool table, 1" single piece of slate in a 3rd floor room. I am pretty knowledgeable with the dismantling and refinishing, but how would you get it down three flights? I hear that piece of stone could be up to 1000lbs. The table is free and I am not willing to spend more than $150 which pretty much covers new felt and bumpers that I will assemble. It had to get up there somehow, but getting it down seems like quite a challenge. Any ideas are welcome.

maybe they originally took it through a window.

How do you properly measure a pool table?

admin — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 02:18:11 +0000

I am going to sell my pool table but I have no idea how to measure it to give the size. Outside the rails? Middle of the pockets? Inside the bumpers? HELP!

There are 4 common sizes. 3.5 x 7 (barbox), 4 X 8 (normal home table), 4.25 X 8.5, and 4.5 X 9 (tournament tables) and I believe that's the measurment of the inside rails.

do leg levellers on a pool table work well? Is it hard to level the pool table for optimum play?

admin — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 02:18:10 +0000

The room is uneven both ways. Can a pool table be easily used using leg levellers?

Leg levelers allow you to adjust the height of each leg of the table independently. As much as a couple inches in some case. Most levelers attach to the bottom of the legs and have non-skid rubber feet to keep the table from moving. Since you can adjust each leg independently, it doesn't really matter how crooked your floor might be as long as it's not sloping by more than a few inches for the length of the pool table.

How would i be able to move a pool table into my house?

admin — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 15:29:30 +0000

I am going to buy a pre put together pool table. It will be shipped to my house and i will dissemble it there. Will the parts that i take off the pool table be enough to fit through doorways and down stairs? Also is a normal pool table usually able to be taken apart?

Once the pool table arrives at your house and you remove the legs, the pool tabel will be able to be carried downstairs. You will need at least four strong bodies though to get the job done.

I normal pool table can be moved the same way in most instances but they are ususally taken apart and reassembled in order to maintain the integrity of the playing surface and the rail system.

How do I get a white stain out of a pool table that has a green carpet thing?

admin — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 15:29:29 +0000

Okay I just had a party and i am 13, and we just bought this like 5k$ pool table and one of the guys spilt something white on the green carpet of the table and it has set in. Please reply back, I'm gonna be in so much trouble when my dad sees it.

The liquid damaged the felt on your pool table. Do not use liquid cleaning products to remove it because it too will leave a water mark. Your best bet is to fess up because at 13 you probably can't get to the store by yourself to get the products you need to do the job. Most pool tables come with cleaning instructions for caring properly for the felt which is usually over slate. Mine suggested the use of dry carpet cleaning granules or a product available through most pool table distributors to remove water rings and stains. The Capture and Resolve dry carpet cleaning granules work well, don't leave a water mark and remove most stains from the pool table felt. I usually suggest that clients spray the felt surface of their pool tables with scotchguard after they are out of warranty to protect the felt from liquid spills. This bubbles the liquid up so that it can be blotted away with a paper towel and not saturate into the felt. Your dad may have purchased a stain warranty, however, and since it is new, you really don't want to do anything improperly to void that warranty if he has one.

What is a good sized pool table for a college game room?

admin — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 15:29:29 +0000

I am in charge of purchasing pool tables for our college game room…other colleges I have talked to have 8 or 9 foot tables, but some of the vendors I've talked to say that 7 foot is standard, and that the students would actually dislike playing on a bigger table. The cost difference is not big, so what do you think?
Folks have been focusing on 7ft vs. 9ft … What about 8 ft?

It all depends on how serious a player they are lol..

I would go with the 8 footers to make everyone happy , then you you dont have to worry about the too long too short argument !

An 8 'er will be just right because it allows both the 7 ft. and 9 ft. players to reach a happy medium as their games will not suffer at all and will probably make them better players on whichever table they happen to be playing on !

You will find most league players play on the 7's and most 9 ball players (gamblers) like the 9's

how should i clean my pool table top?

admin — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 15:29:28 +0000

i've spilleed some juice on my pool table and i'm not sure how i should clean it. i dont want to damage the felt but i still want it too look like i just bought it.
p.s. the juice has already dried.

There are products specifically made to clean pool table fabric.
"Felt Rescue" is formulated to remove the most common stains that might be found on table felt. If the stain has dried, you should first go over the stained area and remove any chalk dust using a felt brush and a vacuum. This is important because wetted chalk will harden and change the way the felt plays.Then lightly mist the stain with Felt Rescue and blot with clean white terry towels. Repeat till the stain is improved or removed.

What other types of pool games can be played on a pool table?

admin — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 15:29:27 +0000

I've played 8-ball, 9-ball, one pocket and I've heard of straight pool even though I've never actually played it. Are there any other games that can be played on a regular 9-foot pool table?

101 is a good one… played just like darts… Everytime someone knocks in a ball you pull it out and but it back at the break dot and award that number of points. First one to knock in enough balls to exactly equal 101 is the winner…
