Pool Table Installation.

Pool Table Installation—When you purchase a UK pool table from Pool Tables Online, we strongly advise that you entrust the professionals with the installation. Our experienced team will safely and correctly set up and level your table.

If you have chosen to install your own pool table, below is a rough guide to setting it up.

The table will be delivered in three parts: the cabinet body, the legs, and the slate. Please also be aware that slate bed pool tables are very heavy, and we always recommend having at least four people on hand to help.

Below is a step-by-step guide to set up your UK slate bed pool table:

1. Remove the Top Frame. To remove the top frame from the cabinet, you need to unclip six toggles, which are placed at either end of the cabinet and on either side.

2. Attaching the Legs. After removing the legs from the inside of the cabinet, secure each one to the four corners of the table by placing the leg bolt through the pre-drilled holes in the base.

Please ensure you have adequate people on hand to help with this. It is very important to fix the legs in place by fully tightening the nut provided onto each leg bolt.

3. Position the Table. Place the table into position by lifting it & do not drag the table. It is best to do this before installing the slate. When the table is in position, place a spirit level across the inner beams and level by adjusting the screw feet before the slate is inserted into the table.

4. Remove Accessories. If you haven't already, remove the accessories from inside the table. This will include cues, balls, triangles, chalk, etc.

5. Fit the Slate. The pool table slate is the heaviest part of the table. Please only attempt to fit this by using a minimum of four people. Fit the slate to the table by placing it on the slate support beams.

6. Re-Fit Top Frame. Align the top frame with the slate pockets before toggling the frame down. Then, reattach the six toggles to secure the top frame to the table. These are the same toggles you released to remove the top frame but to access them now; you will have to use the hand holes cut out under the table's base.

7. Levelling. The easiest way to level your table is to use a spirit level and adjust the feet on the pool table legs. The feet can be adjusted by turning them clockwise to raise the table and anti-clockwise to lower it.

8. Brushing. Always brush the table in one direction away from the 'D' marker when brushing the cloth. For cloth maintenance please see our cloth maintenance guide.
