How do you put together a pool table?

Answer 1

The parts should all be numbered or otherwise marked to be sure they are put in the same place they were in in the factory. After getting the foundation of the table together, it must be leveled. Then the slate must be installed, also placed according to factory markings. This needs to then be leveled as well, as the screws and bolts are tightened. Then the seams need to be filled and the surface prepared. This is followed by light sanding and final levelling. Next, the felt is applied to the slate surface. Pulled taut, but not tight, and working from the center out. The rails can now be installed, if already felt covered. Each rail is marked and must be placed in the proper location. The pockets can then be added and the ball return and hardware, such as the rings for the bridge, etc.
