Game Night Sorted
Got an air hockey table sitting in boxes? Let me get it built, levelled, and ready to play while you crack open the beers.
💡 The secret to fair games? A perfectly level table. Even a slight tilt and the puck drifts to one end. That's why levelling is the most important part of the job.
Why Levelling Matters
| ✅ Properly Levelled | ❌ Rushed Setup |
|---|---|
| Puck glides evenly both ways | Puck drifts to one end |
| Fair games every time | Always playing "uphill" |
| Smooth airflow across surface | Dead spots where puck sticks |
| Adjusted for your floor | Wobbles on uneven garage floor |
Most tables end up in garages around Exeter - and those floors are never level. I take the time to adjust each leg until the playing surface is dead flat.

🔧 DIY Tips
Fancy having a go yourself? Here's how to get it right:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Spirit level (essential!)
- Phillips and flathead screwdrivers
- Allen keys (usually supplied)
- Adjustable spanner
📐 The levelling process
- Build the frame and attach legs loosely
- Place on final position
- Put spirit level on playing surface
- Adjust leg levellers one at a time
- Check from multiple directions
- Tighten everything once level
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Rushing the levelling (biggest issue)
- Over-tightening screws into MDF
- Not checking airflow across whole surface
- Forgetting to test scorer batteries
💡 Pro trick: Put the spirit level diagonally across the table too, not just lengthways and sideways. You'd be surprised how often tables are level one way but tilted corner to corner.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎮 Think about position first - these tables are heavy once built. Moving them later is a two-person job, so decide the final spot before I arrive.
You'll need:
- Power socket nearby for the blower
- At least 3ft clearance each end for players
- Enough ceiling height if it's a garage conversion
Worth knowing:
- Corner protectors worth fitting if you've got young kids
- Very damp garages can affect the surface over time
- Keep blower vents clear of dust for best performance
Frequently Asked Questions
Do air hockey tables need to be perfectly level?
Absolutely - it's the most important part of setup. Even a slight tilt and the puck drifts to one side, making games unfair. I use a spirit level and adjust leg levellers until the surface is spot-on. Your garage floor probably isn't level, but the table will be.
How much space do I need around the table?
You'll want at least 3 feet clearance on each end for players to stand and move. More if you've got enthusiastic kids. I can help work out the best position before assembly - nothing worse than building it then realising it doesn't fit.
Will you test everything works?
Always. I power up the blower, check airflow is consistent across the surface (weak spots make dead zones), test the electronic scorer if fitted, and we'll have a quick game to make sure it's playing right.
Can you assemble it in my garage?
Yes, garages are the most common location. Just need power access for the blower. If your garage floor is particularly uneven (common in older Exeter properties), I'll spend extra time on leg adjustments.
What if parts are missing or damaged?
I do a full parts check before starting. If anything's missing or damaged, I'll let you know straight away so you can contact the supplier. Better to find out before we're halfway through assembly.
