Key steps for moving a pool table yourself
When moving a pool table, it’s important to take special care when dismantling, transporting and installing it. Here are the key steps to follow:
Careful disassembly: Start by carefully disassembling all parts of the billiard table, including pockets and cushions. This step requires precision to avoid damaging delicate table components.
Safe packaging: Wrap each part individually, using appropriate protective materials. This minimizes the risk of damage during transport.
Assistance and adapted equipment: Make sure you have enough help and the right lifting equipment. Moving a pool table is a team effort, requiring special tools to handle heavy, bulky items safely.
Careful transport: Once dismantled, the table must be carefully transported to its new destination. The use of a truck or trailer is often necessary to guarantee safe movement.
Unloading and positioning: On arrival, carefully unload the table and position it where you wish. This step is crucial to ensure a smooth installation.
Installation and levelling: Finally, install the table correctly by securing the feet and ensuring that it is perfectly level. Precise levelling is essential for an optimal gaming experience.
To dismantle a billiard table, follow this step-by-step guide, bearing in mind that instructions may vary slightly depending on your table model:
Preparation:
Gather the necessary tools: socket wrench, screwdriver, Allen wrench, tape measure, marker, and bags or boxes for storing small parts.
Clear enough space around the table to work comfortably.
Remove pockets:
Start by removing the pockets. Depending on the model, they can be fastened with staples, screws or simply inserted into slots.
Remove the strips:
- The rails are usually attached to the table by bolts under the pockets. Use a socket wrench to remove them. Mark each rail and its corresponding position on the table to facilitate reassembly.
Remove carpet (felt) :
- If the carpet is glued, proceed with caution to avoid tearing it. If stapled, carefully remove the staples using an appropriate tool.
- Roll the mat without folding it to avoid wrinkles.
Remove frame and slate tray:
- Locate and remove the screws or bolts securing the slate to the frame. The slate can be made up of a single piece or several sections. Slate is very heavy and fragile.
- With the help of several people, carefully lift and remove the slate. Store upright in a safe place to prevent damage.
Remove the feet:
- Finally, remove the table legs by unscrewing the bolts that secure them to the main frame.
Additional tips:
- Take photos at each stage of the process to remember the location of the various parts.
- Keep all screws, bolts and small parts in labelled bags.
- Handle the slate with extreme care to avoid breaking it.
For a successful pool table removal, each step must be carried out with care and precision. If you don’t feel confident carrying out these tasks yourself, consider calling in professionals who specialize in pool table moving, with the experience and equipment to ensure a safe move.
How do I calculate the price of pool table moving and installing a pool table?
Calculating the cost of transporting and installing a pool table depends on several key factors. Here’s how to estimate the cost:
- Size and type of pool table: The size of the table, as well as the number and type of slates, play a major role in determining the price. Pool tables can vary in size and complexity, which affects the time and resources needed for the move.
- Transport distance: The distance between the billiard table’s current location and its new destination is also a crucial factor. The longer the distance, the higher the cost of transport.
- Pricing example: To give you an idea, moving a 3-slate pool table can cost between $375 and $800. By comparison, a single-slate table can cost upwards of $1,200 to transport over a distance of less than 30 kilometers.
It’s important to note that these costs are estimates and may vary depending on factors specific to your move. To obtain an accurate quote, it’s advisable to contact professional pool table movers who can assess your specific needs and provide a personalized estimate.

Changing billiard mats
Replacing the cloth on a billiard table is a crucial step in ensuring optimum playing quality. With us, changing the billiard cloth is a meticulous process, carried out by experienced professionals. Generally, it is necessary to change the mat when it shows signs of wear, such as tears or loss of elasticity, affecting the quality of play.
When changing carpets for a billiard table, we generally use wool or a wool/nylon blend, known for its durability and smooth texture. This quality mat provides an even playing surface, allowing the balls to roll consistently and precisely.
The density and height of the mat are also important, influencing the speed and responsiveness of the balls. The choice of color varies, but traditional shades such as green, blue and red are popular for their visibility and classic aesthetic. It’s essential to choose a rugged mat suited to the level of play.
The cost of changing a billiard cloth varies, but the average price is between $500 and $700. This fee includes the purchase of the new mat and the replacement work, ensuring that your billiard table is restored to its optimum condition for many games to come.

My pool table is no longer functional
If your pool table is no longer functional, it’s important to consider several options. First, assess whether the table can be repaired. Often, problems such as uneven surfaces, worn carpets or damaged slates can be solved by professional repairs. Our moving company can help you transport your pool table to a specialist for these repairs.
If the pool table is beyond repair, or if repair costs are prohibitive, you might consider selling it as a salvage item or donating it. There are hobbyists and craftsmen who might be interested in billiard parts for renovation projects or creative reuse.
If none of these options is viable, recycling is a responsible alternative. You can contact our removal company to arrange for your billiard table to be transported to a local recycling center. Recycling centers can dismantle the table and recover materials such as wood, metal and slate, helping to reduce waste.
Whatever the decision, it’s essential to manage the situation in an eco-responsible way, limiting the environmental impact and maximizing the reuse of materials. Our company is here to support you in this process, ensuring that your billiard table is transported and handled with the utmost care.
