Make the Best Pool Table Choice

Whatever the motivation for MAking a Pool Table Choice, for the family home or business, there is an appropriate table for every room size and budget

If you’re designing a new home, even better!

Pool tables range in size from 7 foot x 3 foot 6 inches (213cm x 107cm) to the traditional full-size tables at 12 foot x 6 foot (366cm v 183cm).

One of the most important factors with your pool table choice is you must take into consideration when working out what size fits best is the room to make your shots.

It is generally recommended that a minimum clearance of 150 cm is needed between the pool table and the wall.

This provides ample room to not only move around the table but to pull off some rippers with a more than generous cue stroke.

Just who will predominantly be playing is also a factor that needs to be taken into account with your pool table choice.

Naturally, if the table is going to be played outdoors you’ll want an outdoor pool table but either way the durability of some tables in particular the cloth will be the determining factor.

As Pool Tables do bring family and friends together you may also want to consider seating from the robust lounge to the stools and tables.

To give you a better understanding of what room you need to make the correct pool table choice, refer to the table below:

Table Size	Ideal Room Size	Minimum Room size
7′ x 3’6″ (2.13 x 1.07)	17′ x 13′ (5.18 x 4.11)	15′ x 11’6″ (4.57 x 3.50)
8′ x 4′ (2.44 x 1.22)	18′ x 14′ (5.49 x 4.27)	16′ x 12′ (4.88 x 3.66)
9′ x 4’6″ (2.74 x 1.37)	19′ x 14’6″ (5.79 x 4.42)	17′ x 12’6″ (5.18 x 3.81)
10′ x 5′ (3.05 x 1.52)	20′ x 15′ (6.10 x 4.57)	18′ x 13′ (5.49 x 3.96)
12′ x 6′ (3.66 x 1.83)	22′ x 16′ (6.71 x 4.88)	20′ x 14′ (6.10 x 4.27)
