How hard is it to
refelt a pool table?
Not as
hard as you might think... especially if you have even the most basic carpentry
skills. Just follow along as we lead you through the step by step process, and
you'll be on your way!
This site
contains instructions, and pictures that will assist you in refelting your pool
table properly.
It includes:
What you'll
need
Replacing the cushions on your pool
table
Cutting the new felt properly
Preparing and recovering the pool table rails
Preparing, leveling, and recovering the slate
Installing new pocket liners
The guy who refelted my pool table (Allen) does it
professionally, and was kind enough to allow me to take pictures while he
recovered the pool table with new felt. It cost me $800 to have my pool table
recovered with new high-speed felt, replacing the pool table cushions, leveling
the pool table, and new pocket liners...since I couldn't find a decent website
that explained how to do it myself, I thought I would create one so that all of
you could save some money by refelting your own pool tables.
I was also
rather intimidated by the idea of refelting my own pool table, because I
certainly didn't want to mess it up. After seeing it done first-hand, I can
assure you that refelting your own pool table isn't nearly as difficult as
you might think. Especially if you're only refelting the bed of the pool
table. (the cushions are the most time consuming part of the process, but they
aren't that difficult either).
Check out the images, read the captions,
relax, don't rush, and pay attention to detail as you go, and you'll end up
with a beautiful pool table that you can be proud of, and you can save lots of
money.

Here's my pool table as it looked before it was recovered. My wife
and I got this pool table with the house we bought a little over a year ago.
The house, and table are both from 1974. (check out the carpet). That makes
this table just over 30 years old!...It is still in great condition though, and
it seemed to make sense to refelt the table, as opposed to spending the money
for a new one, and trying to find a new home for this one.
We've been
slowly remodeling as we can afford to, and probably should have replaced the
gameroom carpet before refelting the pool table, but the carpet we want for our
is pretty expensive, and the pool table seems somehow more important. We play a
few games almost every day, especially during
cocktail hour, and
when we have company, we tend to play even more. |
