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 the fabric which is attached to the surface of the table. When re-felting, the first step is to determine the size of the pool table using a measure tape. The felt is then replaced at a sports shop or home improvement depot. The material should be purchased such that there is an extra 12 inches to the width and length. Because there are many colors, it will be important to decide if the same color as the one being replaced will be used or a different one.
The rails should be removed after that. This is done using a crescent wrench. Bolts attaching the rails are removed. Usually, the rails are also covered by the felt so they will need to be re-felted as well. The rails will then need to be carefully set on the floor close to its position in the table so that a mistake will not be made of attaching the rail to the wrong side.
The felt to be replaced is removed by using a staple remover to pull out staples at the edge of the felt. It will be essential to ensure that all felt is removed from the top of the table. The old one can be placed on a thrash bag from where it can be 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 the cut has been made, the felt is attached to the top of the table using a stapler. The stapling should start at the mid portion of one end of the felt before the right and left edges are stapled. After this, you should go to the opposite end and tightly pull the felt. It is then stapled in the same way as the previous side.
The side edges will then need to be stapled. You should ascertain that the staples are at an equal distance from each other and lined up in the correct way. For the pockets, 3 slits should be cut on every pocket before wrapping and stapling the felt on the edges of the pockets. The felt is tightly pulled prior to stapling.
The last step is to reassemble the structure. The rails are attached to their proper position using the crescent wrench. After insertion of the pocket lines, the re-felted table can be used.
