What is the minimum clearance needed for a pool table on each side?

Question

The room is 12'4" x 20' at its skinniest point. I was wondering what size pool table I could comfortably fit in there.

Answer 1

12'4'' wouldn't be wide enough. 15'x20' is about as small of an area you could have to fit a table comfortably

Answer 2

5ft is good... you can deal with 4ft if you tilt the stick.. but be sure to be careful not to put holes in the wall!

as for what size.. can't really tell without the layout and dimensions of the entire room, but you might want to look here http://www.ahpooltables.com/pool-table-s...
