To change the feet of a foosball table (for children or adults, regardless of size)

For this operation, it is recommended to place the foosball table upright, leaning against a wall. Remove the old feet and place the new ones. Position the bolts and washers and tighten them by hand as much as possible. Finish tightening with a wrench.

And if you're a budding artist, more adept with a paintbrush than a screwdriver, you might consider repainting the shell and feet of your foosball table. Handy tip: If you're the proud owner of an oldBonzini table football whose handrails are a little discolored, simply lightly polish them to restore their original color.

Congratulations, you've saved a pot of red paint and restored your table football to its old glory at the best price!

To change players on a bar (regardless of brand)

Unscrew the handle then remove the nut. At the other end of the foosball table, several screws hold the incoming rod. Unscrew them all to remove the bar and rod.

When painting the players' faces, remember that football is a cosmopolitan sport!

Here's a little design tip to give your foosball table a shiny metallic look. Using a universal brush, strip each of the foosball table players. This process won't take more than 5 minutes and won't damage your players at all.

In addition to making your foosball table more aesthetically pleasing than ever, this technique will make it easier to differentiate between players on both teams.

Rules to follow and inexpensive tips for changing your foosball table (indoor or outdoor)

If your table starts to look worn and irregularities in the glue thickness appear, you have no choice but to open the cover of your foosball table. Open the push lock on the side to lift the top of the table and determine the exact dimensions of the playing surface.

Then it's up to you to find the playing surface of your dreams... or create one from scratch using different products!

Let your imagination run wild!

Note that the trend is toward minimalism with a white or silver playing surface... Once you've made your choice, cut the playing surface to the desired dimensions and simply attach it using double-sided adhesive. All that's left is to play on your new foosball table to discover its new gameplay!

If the goals are starting to show signs of aging or you simply want to replace them with a more modern model, all you need is a wrench. Usually, four bolts hold everything together.

Decorating tip: Finish everything off with products like Belgom aluminum to achieve a beautiful mirror effect (and don't forget to also paint the corners of the pitch to give your foosball table a new lease of life)!
