How Much Space Is Required For A Pool Table?

Pool and snooker tables come in a variety of sizes - from 5ft non-slate pool tables right up to 12ft slate championship snooker tables. With that said, 7ft tables generally are the most common in the home environment because the game is challenging enough to keep you interested but not too challenging that you cannot pot a ball.Our 7ft slate bed pool tables are made in the UK to a UK specification. This means that they are 2.1m (7ft) long by 1.2m (4ft). When deciding on a pool table, always...

Slate Versus Board Top - Pool Tables

We are asked lots of times about board top and mdf top pool tables and whether they are worth the money. Our answer is always the same - Buy cheap and you will buy twice.  Pool Tables are traditionally made using a slate bed for a reason. Slate is true and level and, provided the table itself supplies adequate support, will remain true for longer than you are alive.The same cannot be said about board top pool tables. Some board top tables are such poor quality that they are warped before th...

How Much Space Do I Need For A Pool Table?

....but, the answer is not always that simple. There are a number of variable factors that you need to consider.First, how big is the table? By this we mean the playing surface and not the outside parameters of the table itself. After all, when taking a shot, the tip of the cue will be placed somewhere within the playing surface, not the edge of the table.Second, what size cues would you like to be using? Whilst we can supply cues from 57 inches down to 36 inches, there comes a point where you m...
