2 Methods To Move A Foosball Table Without Damage
Whether or not a moving foosball table will fit through a door depends on the table's dimensions, the size of the door, and how long you want to keep the table in place. There are two methods to move a foosball table.
The first one is for a short distance. Here you can move the table as a whole without disassembling it. Moreover, most foosball tables are about 29-36 inches wide, which means they should be able to fit through standard 36-inch doorways with no problem.
The second one is for a far distance. Here, you have to disassemble it and move all the parts even though the big door size is. After transporting, reassemble them following the instructions.
However, if you have a particularly small doorway or want to keep the table in one spot for an extended period, you may have a narrow table.
