Pool Table Dimensions Explained
A "regulation" size pool table as defined by The Billiard Congress of American is one that is twice as long as it is wide. So if the pool table dimensions consisted of 4 feet in width, then the corresponding dimension would be 8 feet in length. This would be referred to as your standard 8 foot pool table. Other standard size pool tables are the 7 foot pool table and the 9 foot table.
As you browse the selection of tables we have available on our site, you'll no doubt notice some "pro" versions. These are oversized tables, which generally have an extra three inches in width and six in length.
You might have wondered to yourself what pool table dimensions are right for you. Because you have the options mentioned above, it should not be difficult to find one that will fit nicely within your game room. One thing that must not be overlooked is the space you need to actually play the game without interference caused by a wall that's too close to the table. This is because you need room to maneuver your cue stick around. The 7 foot pool table dimensions fit well with a room at least the size of 13 feet wide and 16 feet long. An 8 foot pool table will require a room 13.5 feet wide by 17 feet long.
And then there's the 9 foot pool table dimensions - for serious gamers - that require a minimum sized room that's 14 feet wide by 18 feet long. Don't forget about the height of the room too. Not that it will get in the way when making a shot, but if a ceiling fan or table lamp is too low, it is possible to be hit by a wandering cue as you move around the table.
