Move heavy pool table
$200
Hawker ACT, Australia
17th Aug 2025
Legs need to be undone to move table top. It is a heavy top. It needs to be carried from my garage to the deck. We did do it before. 3 or 4 strong guys would take a few minutes to move. Then legs screwed back on. I'd say max 20 minutes.
These are the best team.
