How To Replace Felt On Pool Table Bumpers

Replacing the felt on your pool table bumpers is a relatively easy task that can be completed in a few hours. By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your pool table looks and plays its best.

Tools and Materials You'll Need:

New pool table felt
Scissors
Staple gun
Staples
Phillips head screwdriver

Step 1: Remove the Old Felt

Use a screwdriver to remove the screws that hold the old felt in place. Once the screws are removed, carefully remove the old felt from the bumpers.

Step 2: Cut the New Felt

Cut the new felt to the same size as the old felt. Be sure to cut the felt in one continuous piece, as this will help to prevent wrinkles.

Step 3: Staple the New Felt

Place the new felt on the bumpers and staple it in place. Be sure to pull the felt taut as you staple it, as this will help to prevent it from sagging.

Step 4: Trim the Felt

Use scissors to trim any excess felt around the edges of the bumpers. Be sure to trim the felt close to the staples, as this will help to prevent it from fraying.
