Replacing the cloth on my slate bed snooker table

Replacing the hainsworth smart cloth for a strachan 6811 tournament cloth on my slate bed snooker table.
Then brushed,knapped and ironed followed by marking out with pencil.
Reason for replacing was the hainsworth smart cloth had a few tiny tears and white marks from usage as the hainsworth cloth was so thin.
really enjoyed re clothing the table but if you are not handy with tools please get a professional time served table fitter to doit.
the hardest part was the stretch it was roughly 2 and half to 3 inches of pull on each side of the table.
to level the table I used a bottle car jack and 2 spirit levels followed by diagonal shots.
worked a treat.
the strachan 6811 tournament is thicker and stronger it is a lovely cloth well worth the money.

It would help if you showed how you attached the secondary tacks under the center pocket before stretching the cloth out!

When we restrech it in a month or so we will do a close up of the middle pockets

How long did the Hainsworth last mate

[@BigGtotheMax]

We had the hainsworth a year mate, we have a strachan tournament on it now and that's a good cloth and cheaper than the hainsworth.
