Question

What size room is needed to accommidate an eight foot pool table?

Answer 1

Q) What size room do I need for a pool table?

Required room sizes vary with the size of the pool table. In general a pool cue is 57", so you will need at least 5' from each edge of the playing surface to the nearest wall or obstruction. Click below to view a room chart.

Answer 2

I had one in a 10 foot by 14 foot room it was great on the long sides but we had to use a short stick on the short sides of the table. I would say 14x14 at the least for comfort and easy of play and movement around the table.

Answer 3

20x20

Answer 4

Enough so you have at least 5 1/2 feet at either side of the table...

Answer 5

i dont know the exact demintions but you need to be able to go around the poll tabe completely and make shots from anywhere.

Answer 6

Bigger than you normally think.  You should plan on having at least five feet around all sides of the pool table so people do not leave black marks on the walls from the butt end of the pool cues when trying to make shots.

You also would probably like to have a few chairs in the room for people to sit down.  Add another three feet or so for those.

I would say that the room for an 8 ft pool table should be 15 x 15 to be comfortable and not have to re-paint your walls every six months.

Answer 7

16 X 20

Answer 8

well...i think the stick is like...5 feet (or i can WAY OFF) so you should have a 13 feet room or sumthin

Answer 9

bigger then 8 i would guess

Answer 10

your typical pool stick is 58 inches long so you need at least that distance form the table to the wall 58+96+58=212   17'8"

the the other diriction 58+48+58=164  13'6"

that is the minimum for a clear playing area you can use smaller sticks and use a smaller area but for serious playing that is the size you need
