How to Level a Pool Table Slate

No matter how much you play pool, the table should be level. The table may need to have its frame or braced in order to hold it in place. No matter if you use a self-leveling pool or DIY table leveling system, your goal is to level your table so that your game can be enjoyed as much as possible.

Check the level of your tables with a level made by a carpenter. It's a simple tool that allows you to find the highest point on your table. If you don’t have a carpenter’s level, you can measure your table’s balance with a piece made of glass or marble. It's not as easy as it sounds, but it is well worth it.

You can also check the level of your table by using a smartphone level app. These apps are compatible with most smartphones and can be used for checking the level of your table. These are not as accurate as a Carpenter's Level, but they will do the trick.

Other methods of checking the level of your table include using shims. Shims can be described as thin, tapering pieces made of wood. They can be purchased in various sizes at hardware shops and carpentry outlets. You can use them to adjust the height of your pool table so that it has a perfect playing surface. Shims can either be used to raise your pool table's legs or to level it.


Another useful pool table tool is a marble. This is useful for checking the level of your table and to detect if it is tilted in one direction. However, you should not try this on your own. This may cause damage to the table. You can call a pool company to repair your table.

A marble roll can also be used to determine whether your table is in the correct direction. This will show you the direction in which the balls roll. It might also help you determine if your table is level.

The self-leveling pool table system is a great option for a level table. These tables are not for beginners and will cost the same as a new table. They should take no more than 30 minutes to set up, and they're easy to use. You'll also have a ball driver included.

These are the steps to follow for best results. Check out the compass application for your smartphone. It's also available for iPhones and Androids, and should be a pretty accurate measurement of your table's level. A carpenter's degree can be used to measure the level of your table. This is one of the most important tasks in the pool table maintenance routine.
