Pool tables are a source of so much fun. Your family and friends love it. However, it’s not a favorite piece of furniture in the house once it needs to be relocated. Pool tables are big, bulky, often heavy, and tricky to move around, especially from one home to another. Here’s how to relocate one without a headache.
Easiest Way – Hire Movers
Sparing yourself (and the ones who would help you) the damage, possible injury, and anxiety attacks is worth the price. Hiring professional movers from Chicago does have its price but comes with the great relief of letting the pros do what they do best. If you want the moving team to relocate your pool table, you will give them information like the model of the table, if your building has an elevator, if they will have to use the stairs while carrying it around, etc. Also, the price depends on the type of relocation. They won’t set the price the same when you are moving inside the Chicago area and when you relocate long distance.
If You Want To Do It Yourself, Here’s How
If your budget doesn’t allow you to hire movers, or you are confident you can do it on your own, you should prepare for moving a pool table. First of all, you want to check what type of pool table you have – we can divide pool tables into two simple groups, slate or mechanical pool table.
Then, when you have all the necessary tools for disassembling and moving it (staple gun, wrench, drill, screwdriver, protective materials, bags, packing tape, labels, etc.), get to work and label all the parts when you disassemble everything. Also, make sure you have enough people in your crew and a plan to carry it out to the moving truck. Make sure the parts are well-protected so nothing gets damaged during transport. Best of luck!
