Hi guys and gals

[baltiboys2]

Just thought I would post and say hi just bought a snooker table last night and dismantled on site ( that slate weighs a tonne😂) and am going to pick it up next weekend.
was hoping someone could advise the best way to transport the slate flat on top of each other or on end ??

Cheers Raj

Great. What make is it? One of our table experts will hopefully get back.Please share some pics too. Where are you located?

End to end ,strapped up on the side ,make sure the joint areas where the slates come together are facing up ,you don’t want any chips or nicks on them as that is what joins the table together ,so it needs to be as good and clean as possible .Storing or transporting slates on top of each other can cause warping (dishing ) even for a short time .

Thanks very much for the info.

Was really surprised how easy it was to strip down. I am sure.putting it together will be a bit more tasking 😭.

If you’ve not levelled a table and fitted a cloth then it’s best to get a professional fitter in ,putting up the frame and sliding the slates on is not bad ,the rest you really need to know what your doing .

Have leveled a few pool tables was going to invest in a engineers level and give it bash but was deffo going to get someone professional to recover it. I have taken the cloth off in one piece and have rolled it on a cardboard roll.
