How to Reclaim Space: Pool Table Removal Tips

At Northside Removals, we understand that a pool table isn’t just furniture, it’s the vacation resort for a games room and perhaps a source of entertainment for years. However, when the time comes to reclaim that space for a new setup, or even to redesign a living area, you must be prepared for the struggles of moving a pool table as one of the hardest removals. After removing hundreds of pool tables in Brisbane, we have seen what good planning and the right techniques mean for a safe and effective move. 

Why Pool Table Removals are Different 

Pool tables are large, heavy, and fragile items. Not only are they heavier than you’d expect, but the way the weight is distributed on a pool table is inaccurate ( which means it can tip easily if not secured). Instead of just bulk and heaviness, the cabinet of the pool table holds sensitive parts. These sensitive parts include the slate and the felt. Undoubtedly, attempted moves of pool tables without expertise can lead to:

• Damage to the table or property
• Risk of personal injury
• Potential costly repairs or replacements

This is why a pool table removal in Brisbane also requires skill, tools, and planning; as much as a removal will require brutal strength, it will also require correct execution.

Tips for a Successful Pool Table Removal

Below are some tips that we have learned – over time – that allow a streamlined removal experience: 

1. Assess the Space

• Measures doorframes, stairs, and walkways before starting.
• Check the route of exit to ensure no scratches or damage to walls. 

2. Disassemble with Care

• Take the pockets, rails, and felt off first before you lift the state.
• Keep all screws and fittings in a single area to make assembly easier.

3. Handle the Slate 

• Pool table slats are heavy, often weighing over 100 kg each. 
• Always use professional lifting equipment to avoid damage.
• Protect Every Component

• When possible, padding, blankets, and wrapping for every piece. 
• Always ensure things are secured in a vehicle before travelling.

5. Reassemble and Level Correctly

• After the removal, a professional reassembly will ensure your table is properly level. 
• Re-stretching helps to achieve the finished, neat, and playable appearance we are accustomed to.
