Question

How much space do you need for a pool table so that the area isn't too crowded to play?

Answer 1

Depending on how much people are going to play.  I would say about 17 feet by 17 feet.  Good luck

Answer 2

The length of your cue plus free space for movement.    By that i mean take your cue from the cush back full length and add some for movement back and forwards any less is to cramped.

Answer 3

I've felt that you need about 8 feet on every side at least, because you have to account for the cue stick, and people trying to get by on occasion.

Answer 4

depends on what kind of pool table.  Is it a bar table?  or a league table?

bar table:  need at least 16'x16'

league: 20'x20'

it may seem like a lot of room, but you need room for the table plus walking room, and easement for the cues without knocking into someone

Answer 5

measure the room then go out and see if a table will fit.

Answer 6

you need five feet all the away around , a regulation cue is 57 inches , so five feet gives you enough room

Answer 7

the length of the stick as a full perimeter around the table.

meaning the nearest wall or object should not be within the length of the stick from the edge of the table to the item.

Answer 8

Add ten feet to the dimensions of the table , example , table is 4 x 8 , then the room would have to be 14 x 18. This gives you 5 feet of room all the way around the table. These are minimum measurements. For real comfort you will need an even bigger room.

Answer 9

a pool stick length all around the table so those tight shots aren't so tight..wish i had smile faces to show humor. that is the rule i've

used and it's a great one if your able..

Answer 10

The length of a cue stick from the edge of the table to the wall. When using the stick and bringing it back when making a shot, you do not want it to hit the wall.

Answer 11

a table is 4 x 8 figure 42 to 48 inches clearance around it or 12'x16' open area is good!
