The Process Of Pool Table Refelting Denver

By Lena Stephenson


Pool tables are elegant designs for indoor sports rooms or patios. Most people play pool to as a way of spending leisure time with family or friends. When the tables are made from durable materials, they are able to last for over 20 years with very minimal maintenance. The felt is the most vulnerable part of the structure. When considering pool table refelting Denver residents have various things to consider.

The felt is that fabric that is attached to the table surface. When getting to re-felt, the first thing to do is determine the size of the table through the use of a measure tape. There is then replacement of the felt either at a home improvement depot or sports shop. During the purchase, there should be an extra 12 inches to its length and width. Since there are lots of color options, you will need to decide whether to use the same color or have a different one.

After the choice of color, the rails need to be removed using a crescent wrench. This is done by removing the bolts that attach the rails. Rails are also always covered by the felt and need to be re-felted too. This explains the need to buy extra material. Rails are carefully placed on the floor close to the table so that there is no mistake when reattaching them.

The felt that needs to be replaced gets removed using a staple remover. It is used for pulling out the staples at the felt edge. Caution should be taken to ensure there is removal of all felt from the surface of the table. The old felt should be placed on a thrash bag and disposed of later.

The new felt should be placed carefully while making sure to inspect that there are no any damages or stains on it. It should then be cut using a sharp scissor while using the border of the table top as the guide. There needs to be some felt that is left over that will be used for re-felting the rails.

After making the cut, a stapler is used to attach the felt to the top of the table. Stapling begins at the mid points of one end of the felt then proceeds to the left and right edges. When this is done, you proceed to the other end to pull the felt tightly. It then gets stapled like was done in the previous case.

The edges then get stapled. It is important to ensure that the staples are placed at an equal distance from each other and that they are lined correctly. When it comes to the pockets, there should be cutting of 3 slits on each of them before wrapping and stapling of the felt on the pocket edges. It is then pulled tightly before being stapled.

Lastly, the structure is reassembled. A crescent wrench is used to attach the rails into position. The table is ready to be used after inserting the pocket lines.
