Locating A Business For Pool Table Refelting Denver

By David Russell


Many people enjoy playing pool and thousands of clubs and bars will own one or more tables and they are found in homes. After a period of time the felt or cloth will get badly worn through use or it may get accidentally damaged. When the playing surface is beyond repair then you will need to find a firm that specializes in pool table refelting Denver and a few important points need to be thought about before you hire anyone.

You can find companies listed in the local phone book or they may advertise locally. The web is also a good place to find a specialist and there are many web sites to look at. It is a good idea to have the exact dimensions of the table before you contact a firm so that they can issue an accurate price for the work.

Applying new felt to tables is a highly specialized job and should only be carried out by experienced and skilled technicians. There are firms in Denver CO, that will supply a trained fitter who will visit you, and fit a brand new cloth. The costs involved will vary depending on the type of cloth fitted and size of your table and obtaining a few price quotes is advisable.

When you have called a firm, and made an appointment, one of their fitters will come to look at the job. They will inspect the whole table to make sure there are no other problems that require attention. If any other work is to be done they will tell you beforehand and explain why it should be done.

The first job to be done is removing the old cloth in the correct way. The six pockets will then need to be removed and inspected for damage followed by the side rails. The slate bed will then be checked and made ready for the new felt to be fitted. These slate beds need to be cleaned properly, leveled and any chips or gaps should be filled with a specialist wax resin or putty.

There are a couple of choices of cloth and these are club grade which is hard wearing or the felt that the professionals play on. It will be trimmed the correct size and stretched across the slate bed to get a flat and even finish. When the adhesive is dry, the pockets and underside of the cloth are secured with steel staples. Side rails are then covered with new felt, fitted and leveled to make sure they are in line.

When your new felt is fitted, everything is checked to make sure it is level and the ball markers can be applied. Leveling tools and wedges can be used to ensure pool tables run true and do not suffer from roll off. Leveling cradles can be brought which a table sits on and it can be quickly leveled and moved.

Any sports equipment that has regular use should be checked often and well maintained. The felt playing surface should be brushed every day to remove the particles of chalk dust and other small debris. If you notice any tears or holes, the pool table should be covered with a sheet or plastic cover and repaired before being used again.
