Your 3-step Room Size Guide to Pool Tables

Finding a right pool table size shouldn’t be down to guesswork. Afterall, buying a pool table is a worthy investment - you’ll want the best playing comfort by dedicating the right space. Find out how in 3 easy steps! 

1. Calculate the space required: Regardless of pool table size, simply remember the magic number of 5ft as the ideal perimeter around the table:
    • Length needed = Table length + 5’ + 5’
    • Width needed = Table width + 5’ + 5’

      So if you're envisioning having an 8' x 4' table, you’ll need a 18ft (8’ + 5’ +5’) long x 14ft (4’ + 5’ + 5’) wide space.  (Note: the standard width of a table is half its length)

       

      2. No space? Simply use shorter cues! As the above assumed a standard cue length of 57”, using a shorter 48” cue for tighter wall shots allows you to deduct 1’ from each side of the perimter. 

      Using the same 8ft table example, the requirement would thus be a 16ft (8' + 4’ + 4’) x 12ft (4” + 4’ + 4’) area, which means you'll need less space overall.

      For the best playing experience, we also offer clients options of shorter cues of 48" and 52" at no charge!
