📐 Dimensions & Space
How much room do you need to install a pool table?
The space required around a pool table depends on two main elements:
- the size of the table,
- and the length of the cues used (usually 140 cm).
We recommend leaving at least 1.10 m around the table to play comfortably, and ideally 1.30 m or more, for optimal freedom of movement.
➡️ Example: for a 7 ft (2m10) pool table, you should plan for a room of around 4.30 m x 3.40 m with standard 140 cm cues.
If the space is more limited, we can offer shorter cues (120 or 110 cm), allowing the table to fit into your interior without compromising playing comfort.
Can furniture around a pool table be an issue?
Indeed, it is best to have as much clearance as possible around the pool table without any obstruction, however a piece of furniture up to 1.40 m high is not a problem for playing.
Can you install a pool table next to a fireplace?
We recommend choosing a metal frame pool table which ensures perfect flatness over time. Thanks to the metal frame, even next to a strong heat source, your pool table will remain stable.
