You may have considered putting a rug underneath your pool table. Rugs are a great way to provide additional support and stop movement during play. Rugs can also be used to reduce noise and style your room. But, you need to be aware that there are some disadvantages to using rugs.
First, it is important to take care when moving a table that is placed on carpets. You can easily damage the floor when you move it across a hardwood floor. The legs will create divots on the carpet. You can protect your carpet by using a drop sheet, tarp or other protection. A disadvantage to this is the need for you to re-level your table.
When you install a rug under a pool table, you'll have to re-level it again if you want it to be level. The rug may need to be re-leveled every few months. This is because the pool table will settle and lose its level status as the carpet settles.
Also, the liquid from the swimming pool can stain your rugs. The rugs can become contaminated by the chalk and balls. It's best to clean your rugs once per month.
Linoleum flooring can be an option if you don't have enough money to buy a rug. Linoleum flooring can be cut and installed quickly and is extremely durable. However, it won't protect the floor the way that a rug will.
An area rug can come in either a rectangular or square shape to give your room a traditional look. Area rugs are also available in a variety of sizes. Select the size that will best fit your table's width and length. A rug on your pool table will protect it from slipping hazards.
Pool tables can be heavy. They can be bumped by people while they walk or while taking shots. These dents can be difficult to remove. You should choose a rug thick enough to protect your floor.
Rugs can be difficult to find. While it's not impossible to find a good-quality, inexpensive one, you may have trouble finding a rug that fits your needs. Think about your room, your pool table and your home's style. If you're a minimalist, consider a muted color. If you want to add style and color to your space, choose a vibrant rug.
Depending on the size of your pool table, you may need a rug that's between 3 and 4 feet wide. You must avoid bunching or wrinkles. This is done by placing the rug at the feet of your table and then sliding it underneath.
A rug under your pool tables can protect the floor and reduce noise. It also allows you to design the room. However, it is important to watch your pool table and make sure you check it regularly.
