Slate Crating: What It Is And What You Need To Know

Slate Crating: What It Is And What You Need To Know

If you have already moved your pool table before you may be familiar with slate crating. However, if this is your first move with a pool table, this is a good time to learn what this process is and how it helps.
In fact, if you are screening potential San Francisco Bay Area or the Central Valley of Northern California moving companies, skip any that do not use this process. Even better, only trust a company like ours, The Pool Table Pros, to handle moving this particular piece of recreational furniture.

  • A pool table must be disassembled and prepared for shipment, not just moved. This includes taking the slate and individually crating it.
  • In fact, each piece of slate must be handled in this manner. Otherwise, you are taking a gamble of breaking one or more pieces of slate.
  • The slate is the most expensive aspect of the pool table. If you end up having to replace the slate, you may as well just buy a whole new pool table.
  • Slate is heavy and easy to break – the perfect combination for disaster. That is why it is so important to let a trained expert handle the job.
  • It is important not to attempt to move slate or a slate pool table on your own. This can easily lead to strain or injury, in addition to damage to the pool table.
