Moving your pool table
By Austate Removals|September 23, 2020
What is more enjoyable with a group of friends than a game of pool, billiards or snooker. A pool table can be found in many homes (or businesses) and is a great addition to a games room, entertainment area or spare room. But what happens when you need to move and you want to take your prized possession with you?
There are a few things to consider, and if you want to do this yourself or if you need a professional pool table mover.
Why moving a pool table yourself can be bad
You may be looking at costs to move your pool table, but make sure to take into consideration the manpower, effort, time and logistics with moving your pool table. Is it maybe worth selling your current pool table and buying a second hand one at your destination? Don't forget to consider moving your pool table into your new house - are there stairs, tight corners or other obstacles? A professional mover has probably come across these before and has a solution.
Decided to move it yourself?
Here are some things you'll need - disassembling your pool table:
How to move without dissassembly
There are instances where you can move a pool table without pulling it apart. This includes the distance, the number of able hands, and also how hard it will be to get it into the new room. If you're moving it a short distance, furniture sliders or dollies can be the answer.
Seem like too much, or don't want to risk the safety of your pool table (or your back)?
