How much room is needed around a pool table for proper layout?

Question

Am space planning a room and need to figure out how many feet I need beyond the table so the pool cues dont hit the wall.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Recommended space around the pool table is 5ft, but here is link that might help you.  http://www.ahpooltables.com/pool-table-s...

Answer 2

Add ten feet to the dimensions of your pool table.For example if your table is 4' x 8' then the minimum size room would be 14' x 18' . This gives you 5 feet of room all the way around the table which is enough room to shoot any shot with a standard size 58'' pool cue. Of course a bigger room would mean more comfort but this is the minimum. Good luck to ya!

Answer 3

If you need room to sit and stand, You need a minimum of 3' per side. I'd double that just to be sure.

Answer 4

at least 3 but you can buy cut off cues if you need them for tough shot to close to wall.
