Table / Chair Storage - What's your strategy? (2 Viewers)

[MikeL]

I've recently upgraded from a small 6 person folding table to a new 10 person table. It was long over due and is awesome when we're playing, but storage for this big guy is a pain. I can't find a place within hauling distance with one person that gets it out of the way.

I'm thinking of hanging it to the wall or ceiling in the garage, which is right beside the room we play in. Any solutions you've found work better than others? Any good pics?

I have my second table stored on my basement ceiling. The bases are removable (rather easily).

I haven't used this and don't have pictures, but years ago when I was looking for a solution somebody suggested a wheelbarrow holder.

Hang the table vertically, mounting the holder to studs

Here is another idea: https://www.buypokerchips.com/Articles.asp?ID=342

For my 10 person table I use J hooks mounted into studs that go around the table legs. With my blackjack table I use chest handles connected to caribeners connected to O rings that go over J hooks. If I remember when I get home I'll take pictures of it, but both are super sturdy and then hang on the walls out of the way without any issue.

Edit for main table has a dinner room topper on it so it hides the whole table. You wouldn't know I have a poker table under it unless you've seen it. Mrs. Payback required it as part of the agreement to build the table.

Is getting it up there a hassle?

 

[MikeL]

Interesting, a wheelbarrow holder may work well for me, I have the space on the wall available.

Just have to see how far I can anchor into the table without causing issues for the hooks.

It's a two person job, but relatively easy. The crossbeams are designed to swing down. Lift up one end, drop the crossbeam, slide the table out the other. Carry into the game room.

The process sucks that it takes two people, but the storage end results are fantastic. The table is overhead, With head clearance to walk underneath it.

How about for chair storage?

Stacking chairs where ever they can fit or does anyone use some form of wall mounts?

 

[p5woody]

Not mine, looks like this would work in your garage. (update: sorry you said stacking chairs)

 

[MikeL]

p5woody, I saw that pic on Pintrest last night and prompted me to start thinking about all this

Main chair (and table) storage..

For my second table, I have 10+ stacking chairs that get stored under my basement staircase.

Do we want to talk about that table?

This looks so slick.

Tri how long is your table?

 

[CraigT78]

I store my chairs in the attic.

 

[Trihonda]

92x44. I can fit 10 comfortably. Even with the oversized chairs. Now, I prefer 9, since it allows a tad more space for the chairs, but my chairs are really wide.

Great setup.

 

[Mental Nomad]

I have a table-top topper that goes on the table when not in poker mode.

I move several chairs out to other rooms as side chairs; the only time the table has all ten is in poker mode.

 

[MikeL]

Apparently I should leave it setup all the time

 

[Irish]

Do you need the room? Place a sheet of plywood and a tablecloth over it when not playing to hide it.

 

[MikeL]

Yeah, unfortunately. The room is setup as a smoke room four chairs and a low table most of the time.
I guess the alternative may be mandatory poker if people want to smoke.

What do you guys put on top of your tables to keep it dust free?

Buy a twin size sheet. The one with the stretchy cord material around the edge, blanking on the name of it. Get a thicker material, flannel is perfect.

The wheelbarrow holder (above works great). You must mount it on a stud but it will hold your table vertically on the wall.

Use the part shown in the arrow above and attach the cross piece shown in the arrow below:

I think they are packaged as "fitted" sheets.

The weight of the table doesn't hurt that bracket between the legs?

Not in nearly ten years. I would comment that I use a different brand if folding legs that might be sturdier than those pictured.

 

[slisk250]

I would be way more likely to hang it horizontally and install 2 brackets on my forthcoming Chanmans. I believe they are 90 pounds in the lighter version. It can't be too easy getting it up there and post #9 seems like the nuts to this host.

good call, i never have seen a package, wife always buys them when we need new ones.

Love your description! That stretchy cord material is elastic.

Correct.
