Pool Table Room Size Guide information

Pool Table Room Size Guide

So you've measured the ideal room for your table, it has plenty of space for a full size professional table - but have you thought about the cue length and how much space you'll need around it? Or have you considered any obstacles that might make certain angles difficult to play? If you're looking to buy a snooker or pool table, considering the play space needed as well as the size of the table itself will help you in purchasing the right table for your space. Most games or dining rooms will have obstructions like fireplaces or furniture that may restrict play. However, whatever size your room is or the pool table idea or snooker table idea that you have, there are avenues to cater for your room size - In many cases, we can get around these by using a shorter length cue going as small as 3' or 3' 6". For the ideal playing space, however, our guide is here to help.

We offer bespoke snooker tables and pool tables in a range of sizes in order to suit every playing area. In order to find the perfect size to suit your home, all you have to do is work out a few simple calculations! Our guide can help you do exactly that.
