Thought I'd share a few pics of a new 9' Diamond Paragon table install that QADDICTION and I recently completed. Nice table!
DIAMOND PARAGON INSTALL
- Thread starter JZMechanix
- Start date
What is the labor involved? 2 guys 4 hours or more?
I knew a couple of guys who put cloth on old tables and installed new tables.
I helped Bill Berger (passed) and Joe Thomas in order to learn a bit about it.

Jack does absolutely awesome installs guys. He installed my diamond back in November and its the best install & recover that the table has ever had. I heartily recommend his services.
Well played Jack & team!

Absolutely beautiful table. I’m struck by the design of the squared outer corners - too easy to accidentally run in to the corners while walking around the table in the course of playing.
Its my favorite Diamond. They had it at the DCC one year as the main table. I snuck up to it to hit a few balls in between matches and test that corner. You definitely have to watch your junk
But it looks so good, its probably worth it.
Does look dangerous...but as they say:
A cut hand learns best.
I bet one learns relatively quickly to make wide turns!
I know I got a good crown to trade for it.Its my favorite Diamond. They had it at the DCC one year as the main table. I snuck up to it to hit a few balls in between matches and test that corner. You definitely have to watch your junk
And you probably do too?!
Not sure about infrastructure, but both tables weigh 1200 lbs in the 9’ version. Slate is 600 lbs of that. The Paragon has more of whatever hardwood you choose (in my case, Maple). So maybe there is some additional infrastructure in the Professional to get to the 1200 lbs. I’d be interested to know.
Very nice table and install! Thanks for sharing it with us!
That table looks great! Too bad Real King Cobra isn't around to tell us all the things they did wrong and how he could have done it better.
There’s a video from Diamond assembling a professional table somewhere here in AZ land
My helper and I completed the install in about 4 hours
The Professional uses timber strand beams.
I will say the Paragon is built very well, the 4 legs as well as the rail assembly is very heavy.
Top of legs attaching to frame. there are 3 holes in frame. Should all three holes be used? Drill into leg for 3rd hole? Dont know if the legs were pre drilled because I did not put together. I just notice third hole not being used and leg under that unused hole not pre drilled. Thank you very much.
