That pool table you have has been serving your needs for many years. It has finally developed a bit of a worn spot and that last party caused a small rip. This means it is a time to explore your options with a pool table refelting project. There are several decisions to be made and all of them can be exciting.

A small rip can be repaired by you if you have a lot of patience. Careful measurements must be made and the felt will have to be cut exactly right. The proper amount of adhesive will need to used and the area will need to be prepared properly, first. This is a test of your attention to detail as the repair must not interfere with that next game.

One of the best courses of action should be to have the entire surface recovered. This will ensure that the table has a fresh look, ready for whatever you throw at it, although not literally of course. Getting help in this project from a professional in Denver, CO will be as easy as giving them a call or stopping by the several that are available in the Mile High City. A do it yourself project of this type will need the help of a few professionals.

The professionals that do this have the experience to see it is done right. They will be able to help you see other possibilities for your table and help you with the decorative elements in the rest of the room. One of he first questions they will ask will have to do with the color you are interested in.

Most stock pool tables come in the basic, standard, green felt. This makes yours look like all others. You may want to stand out a little with other colors that are available. This is your time to decide about this as you can select reds, blues, purples, creams and several other colors. There are also pieces that have geometric designs and some with actual images on them. This will help brighten your room and that next party.

Watching the professionals go to work on your table will help you understand what they are doing and more about this game piece. The measurements will be exacting as will the dismantling of the rails. Removing the felt and old glue will make the way clear for the new piece. Old staples will also be removed so they do not interfere with a proper installation.

That felt piece will be cut to the proper width and length. This will extend past the edge of the slate or bed and allow the staples to hold it onto the surface. A very thin, solid layer of adhesive is applied and the felt is laid over the surface. This is stretched in all dimensions to ensure it is perfectly flat and the staples are applied under the rail location.

The rails are taken apart, very carefully, and covered as well. They are reinstalled and weights are placed on the entire table to ensure a good fir and curing. This should stand, by itself, for about 24 hours as it cures properly. The company will make sure you are satisfied and stop by to deal with any issues. They might also ask you for a game to try it out.
