The size of the pool table and pool table

American

For game pool the field can be 6 to 9 feet. Moreover, the 9-foot version has 6 legs, and all other parameters are only 4.

• Great optionconverted to meters is 2.54 (length) * 1.27 (width).
• The smallest - 1,8 * 0,9.

Russian billiards

The Russian pyramid implies numerous options for tables.

• The largest 12 feet is offered on eight billiard legs. Its size is 3,5 * 1,75.
• There are also intermediate option the table where the dimensions of the playing field are 2,24 * 1,12The size corresponds to 8 feet. This option is offered with both four and six legs.

And you can also buy items for the Russian pyramid at 7 feet, and at 9,10,11. Such intermediate sizes allow you to optimally place furniture in a billiard room of any size.

Snooker

For the game of Snooker, the size of the pool tables is initially larger: 10 and 12 feet. In meters, the dimensions look 2.84 x 1.42 and 3.5 x 1.75.

Possible balls also depend on the size of the table. So, a ball of 60.3 mm is suitable for tables of 6-8 feet, but a ball of 68 mm is suitable for a 9-foot product.

Very often, customers turn to small-sized pool tables to equip a billiard room in a medium-sized room.

Tip. With a small table, it is worth choosing a shorter cue model. They do not affect the quality of the game, but are ideal in the case of small billiard tables.

If you are designing a room for a game club, where there will be several game zones, then you should remember an important rule. The distance between the pool tables should be at least 1 meter 20 cm. This is the minimum that will allow all players to feel comfortable.

Calculation Example
