How do you felt pool table?

Answer 1

Installing felt on a pool table has steps that have to be taken before felting. If the seams, screw holes, imperfections, and the leveling has not been performed properly, prior to installing felt, the table cannot be played on properly. Installing the felt on the surface is easy afterwards, requiring brads or staple gun.

Lay the felt across the table and secure one side using staple gun to the slate wood. pull tight on other side (tight but do not stretch) and staple. Go to one end and pull tight to center and staple, then to other end pull tight and staple. then go to a corner, then opposing corner, and repeat for other corners. Each pocket area must be cut carefully into small triangle to fold into pocket and staple. If the rails need felt, that is more complex than can be described here and is much more important that the surface felt - get a professional to do it and watch them.
