How big of a room do you need for a pool table?

Question

I am trying to figure out if a pool table will fit in the room I have?

Answer 1

you should have at the very least a 12x14 room.if i am on target,a pool table is 8ft in length and31/2ft in width.a cue stick is 41/2ft long on average,and most players grip the stick one to two ft.from the butt end.that should provide adequate room on each of four sides.hope this helps you. ken

Answer 2

This website has a chart that tells you everything you need to know.

The length of cue you use makes a big difference. My cue is 60 inches in length, so the table has to be alittle farther away from the wall then the standard 58 inch cue.

Answer 3

You just add 10 feet to the dimensions of the pool table. For example, If your table is 4' x 8' then your room would have to be 14' x 18' . This gives you 5 feet of room all the way around the table. That is enough room to shoot any shot with a standard size pool cue , 58". Of course these are minimum measurements. For more comfort you will need an even larger room. By the way most bar tables in America are 3 1/2 x 7 feet.

Answer 4

20x25

Answer 5

16x20 min.

Answer 6

Depend on the size of the table, generally everyone say add another 5 or 6 ft from the edge of the table to the wall but i think more as u dont want to be left with just enough room for the table and no other room for spectating. To be comfortable i would give it about 7 - 10 ft of room.

Answer 7

4ft around all the rails. Most tables are 3x7or 4x8 some 5x9 and I´m not exactly sure but I think snooker tables are 5x10 I suggest the 4x8 thats whats in most bars in America.

Answer 8

You want a minimum space of 3 feet from the outside edge of the table to the wall. Even then shots played from that cushion will be tight. 5 foot is probably ideal.
