Gold Canyon Pool Table Moving

The short answer to this question, “How hard is it to move an old pool table?” is: It varies. On average, a pool table weights around 1,100 pounds. Add to that its unusual dimensions and you’re having a hard time moving it alone. Old pool tables are often broken and are very heavy. A skilled professional would have to disassemble and assemble it first.

Even with the help of a moving company, a table that’s weighing several hundred pounds will move on its own. If you don’t have a good moving company or one that has the proper equipment, then it will cost you more to move it. If you don’t have the money to hire them, then it will still be cheaper to rent the table. Renting a table is an added cost though because it’s the price you pay for the convenience of having it moved for you. You’ll pay for the moving company’s fee plus their part of the bill, which is usually dependent on the weight of your table. Some tables may cost as much as three times as much as new ones just because they’re older.

As far as disassembling goes, you can remove your table by hand but only if you have an idea of how to do so. For those who are a little more technically inclined, the Internet is full of instructions. One method you can try is taking the slate out of its package, using a staple remover, and then attempting to remove it. This may not work. Keep in mind that even a good quality slate is not indestructible. If this method does not work, you may want to look into purchasing a new slate to keep your pool table looking nice for a long time to come!
