Pool table storage

Pool Table Storage

Climate controlled storage for your table for as long as is needed, with Steve taking it down and setting it back up.

The room is torn up and the table is in the way

A flooring change, a basement finish or a house that is not ready yet all leave the same problem: a pool table that has to be somewhere else for a while. Under a drop cloth in the middle of a work zone it gets scratched, bumped and buried in dust. In a garage or shed it sits through damp and temperature swings, and wood rails, frames and cloth are the parts that suffer for it.

Slate itself is stable, but it is heavy and brittle, and leaning pieces against a wall or stacking things on top of them is how an edge chips or a piece cracks. A table that comes through a renovation damaged has been hurt by the room, not the game, so the question is less whether to store it than where.

Climate controlled, for as long as is needed

Steve's shop at Meadow Hill Plaza in Newburgh has its own climate controlled storage facility, and it will keep your table there for as long as the job needs. There is no fixed end date to rush against. The home page calls it heated storage, and the point is the same: the table sits somewhere stable instead of somewhere convenient.

Taking a table down is the install in reverse, and Steve is the one who does it. A table that comes apart carefully goes back together as the same table. Storage is quoted rather than posted at a standard rate, because it depends on the table and how long it stays. Call Steve at (845) 597-5532 and he will talk it through.

Back out of storage onto a different floor

When the room is finished, the table comes back out and is set up again: the slate assembled and seamed, the felt installed and the top leveled. That last step is not a formality. The reason the table went into storage is usually that the floor changed, and a new floor is never level in the same way the old one was.

Skip the re-level and the table plays like a slightly different table, with rolls toward one rail that nobody had before the renovation. Storage is also a good moment to think about the cloth. If the felt has been worn thin for years, a recovery while the table is out of the room is easier to plan than a separate visit later.

Steve's Pool Tables Plus stores tables in its own climate controlled facility in Newburgh and sets them back up when the room is ready. Call (845) 597-5532.

Going into storage, and coming back out

If you are moving house rather than renovating, the same takedown is part of a table move, and fresh cloth for the day it comes back out is a recovery. Check the new room against the room size chart before the table returns, and see new table installation for how the set up goes. If the table is not coming back at all, that is removal and disposal. Steve will sort out which one fits at (845) 597-5532.
