How Much Room Do You Need for a Pool Table Installation?
Have you decided to invest in a pool table? If so, it is vital that you consider room when it comes to a pool table installation. How much room you need for a pool table depends on various factors, some of which are listed below.
The Size of the Room
The last thing you want is to invest in a pool table for your home and, when the installers arrive to set it up, you finally understand that it will not fit in the room. So before you invest in a pool table, you must first measure the open space available in the room in order to determine if there is sufficient space around the pool table. Most people make the common mistake of using a room’s dimensions and not measuring the available open space. This is a mistake as you have not accounted for the likes of light fixtures, wall hangings, furniture, and other items in the room that will significantly reduce the space available.
Space Around the Pool Table
Secondly, you need space around the perimeter of the pool table in order to move the pool cues, and not worry about hitting walls. The standard length of a pool cue is 58 inches. So, you must take this into account, in addition to the range of motion to slide it backward and forward when hitting the balls. There are, however, shorter cues available, so if you have your heart set on a certain table and need a little more room, this will be the ideal option.
The Size of the Pool Table
The size of the pool table is just as important. So you must be certain that there is nothing in between the table and the wall, which makes movement difficult. You also don’t want the pool table placed against the wall, as you would not be able to make shots from that side. The standard pool table sizes include 6-foot tables and 9-foot tables.
