Over the years I have compiled some information together to create a guide on how to dismantle or disassemble  a pool table, or how to breakdown a pool table. I'm going to post some brief information on the guide that I have written up so far. If you are intrigued enough by what is written and want more then please comment on this blog post and I'll arrange to get it to you.

Properly dismantling your pool table.

First, you will need to understand the two basic styles of pool tables. The most common type these days is the antique corner style. See Picture

The other most common style is the modern corner. See Picture

Both are relatively similar, but also different in their own ways. Nevertheless, you need to understand that all 3 piece slate pool tables need to be broken all the way down. NEVER EVER TRY AND TIP THE POOL TABLE ON ITS SIDE, TAKE THE LEGS OFF, OR HAVE YOUR BUDDIES HAUL IT OUT IN ONE PIECE. That is probably the worst thing you can do to the table. You risk breaking or cracking the legs, breaking or cracking the slate and frame, ripping rails off, breaking aprons, and the list goes on. Never do that.

We will start out describing the more common style of pool tables that are found more and more in residential homes. The antique corner style.

Here is the basic order of a break down:

1. Pockets

2. Rails

3. Bed Cloth

4. Slate

5. Frame

6. Legs
