A pool table is an elegant design used for indoor sports rooms and patios. The game of pool is played as a way of spending leisure time with friends and family. If the tables were to be made of materials that are durable, they can last around twenty years with less maintenance. The most vulnerable component of the structure is the felt. In consideration of pool table refelting Denver residents should know the procedure.

Felts are the fabrics that are attached to the surface of the pool table. The process of changing the felt is easy and can be done individually from home. The first step will be to determine the size of the table. The measurements are taken using a tape measure. A new felt can be obtained from a sports shop or even home improvement depots. The size taken should be such that there are some 12 inches extra from the width and length. There are usually many colors of felts. The choice of color depends on the individual. You can choose the same color like the current one or go for a different one.

The next step is to remove the rails. The tool used for this exercise is the crescent wrench. You should also remove the bolts that attach the rails. Normally, the rails are also covered by felt material and thus will have to be re-felted as well. The rails are then set on the floor carefully next to its position on the table. This is so done as to avoid making any errors when attaching them back. They may be attached on the wrong side.

The felt that needs to be replaced gets removed using a staple remover. It is used for pulling out the staples at the felt edge. Caution should be taken to ensure there is removal of all felt from the surface of the table. The old felt should be placed on a thrash bag and disposed of later.

The new one is carefully placed while being cautious not to damage or stain it. During the process, a sharp pair of scissors is used to cut it. The borders of the table are used as the guide. There needs to be some felt left over that is to be used to re-felt 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 edges then get stapled. It is important to ensure that the staples are placed at an equal distance from each other and that they are lined correctly. When it comes to the pockets, there should be cutting of 3 slits on each of them before wrapping and stapling of the felt on the pocket edges. It is then pulled tightly before being stapled.

Lastly, the structure is reassembled. A crescent wrench is used to attach the rails into position. The table is ready to be used after inserting the pocket lines.
