Table in Freezing Conditions

[GideonF]

I posted something in the main forum, but thought I would ask in this expert section.

I am thinking of putting a table in an unheated building at my cottage (a couple hours north of Toronto). Temperature will drop down to -30 C in the winter. I don't think its cost effective for me to heat the building in the winter.

Obviously I know this is not ideal, but does anyone have any experience on the effects of extreme cold on a pool table?

I was thinking of putting in either a 7' Diamond pro-am or a 7' Valley (I can't fit anything bigger). But I certainly don't want to put in a Diamond and have it destroyed next winter.

Thanks.

A friend of mine had a 9' Diamond Pro Am in an unheated garage (Central New York Area, only a couple of hours Southeast of you), for nearly 10 years. No ill effects were observed in that time. I am currently in the process of setting up an early 1900's Brunswick, to replace that same Diamond Pro Am.

What you should never do is wrap it up. It'll only trap moisture and rust all the bolts and maybe mold. I've seen it on a valley that was outside for years under a gazebo. All was fine untill they decided to "protect" it.
