I have a 2 car garage that i marked off 14ft X 18ft to place an 8ft pool table in, is this enough room?

Question

if that is enough room then i have the option of buying a table from pooltables-direct or just buying a Olhausen in Tulsa. i pretty much know the answer on buying the table (just wanting to back up my decision). what i really want to know is the room size.

Answer 1

The general rule of thumb is to have at least 4' of space on each side of the table but that is cutting it very close considering a cue is typically over 51" long. So, a cue ball against the rail means you'll be jacking your cue up if you have to hit it head on. You COULD get a 9' foot table but there wouldn't be room for anything else except pictures on the walls and some limited space in the corners. I hope that helps.

Answer 2

Yeah, that's enough space. You could even get a 9' if you wanted. Here's a link to a room chart.

BTW, I'd go with the Olhausen if you want a nice table.

Answer 3

yes, enjoy

Answer 4

yep table is 6 by 4

Answer 5

Yes, a 4x8 table has a standard playing surface of 44"x 88" and requires a room 13'8" x 17'4" for use with standard 57" cues.  The best price deal is going to be with Pool Tables Direct and if this is the company I know in Canada they do have quality tables for the lowest price.
