Thinking Of Pool Table Refelting Denver

By David Turner


Many people around the world enjoy a game of pool and thousands of bars will own tables. From time to time the cloth will get worn through normal use or often it will get damaged accidentally. When the cloth is beyond repair then you will need to consider pool table refelting Denver and a few points need to be considered before proceeding.

Applying new cloths to pool tables is a specialized job and should only be done by an experienced person. There are businesses in Denver CO, who will come and fit new cloths to your tables, and make them playable again. The cost involved will vary depending on the size of the pool table and what grade of covering you have ordered.

After you have located a firm to carry out the work, one of their technicians will come out and price the job up. They will carefully assess what parts may be required and work out the labor charges before giving you a free quote. It is beneficial to obtain as many price quotes as you can before contracting a firm to do the job.

The first job that needs doing is the removal of the damaged or worn felt. The pockets will need to be removed, followed by the 6 side rails. The next step is to take off the cloth and ready the slate bed for the new covering. Slate beds should be cleaned thoroughly and leveled with any gaps in between filled with special wax or putty.

The company that does the job will usually advise you on which grade of covering you need. A club grade cloth will last considerably longer than the felt used on professional tables which will wear very quickly. The felting technicians will check the new cloth to make sure it is in perfect condition before they start trimming and applying it to the slate bed with glue and metal pins.

After the felt is trimmed to the required size it will be tightly stretched across the slate to get a nice finish. After the adhesive has set properly, the underside of the felt can be securely pinned to the frame and pocket areas prepared. Side cushions will then be covered with the new felt before being fitted back to the table and lined up.

After completing the work the last task is to check all levels and lines in every direction. Any markings need be added to the cloth with a special marker pen. Leveling tools and small wedges can be utilized to make sure the pool table runs true and does not suffer from any roll. Specialist cradles can be purchased on which a table can be quickly leveled and moved around and these can be a very useful buy.

Any sporting equipment that is subject to daily use should be properly inspected and kept in good working order. A cloth should be thoroughly brushed at least once every day and any bits of pool chalk and small foreign bodies should be removed. If the felt should tear or be accidentally damaged in future it should be replaced to prevent damage to the expensive slate bed.
