Have you ever wondered how big a snooker table is? Perhaps you're considering whether you can effectively fit one into your own home, recreation area or business. This article looks at the size and dimensions of a snooker table so you can determine whether it's the right choice for you.
A snooker table is a large piece of equipment and so you will need to consider whether you have a suitable room in which you can place it in, ensuring at the same time that you also have adequate space around the table for you to play.
A full size snooker table suitable for tournaments is 12ft by 6ft. If you don’t have the space for a full size snooker table, you can purchase models which are smaller in size. You could consider purchasing the 9ft option, often called a 3/4-size table. Another popular size is the 10ft snooker table. You can also purchase them at 8ft, 7ft or even 6ft. You may even like to consider a custom made snooker table which can be crafted to exactly your requirements. Skilled craftsmen will create the snooker table to your chosen design and size and will ensure they are made to the highest standards. This is a great way of ensuring you can really make the most of the space available to you. A snooker dining table can also be purchased which will really help you maximise on the space within your home.
Whilst you need to ensure that you have the space for the snooker table to fit within your chosen room, you will also need to calculate the space around the table to ensure you have the room to play. To work out the space required, you'll need to add the width of the playfield of your table with double the length of your cue. This will allow players to use the cue from any angle on the table, without being limited by furniture or walls. This is paramount to ensure players enjoy the game and have the space and freedom to play to their very best ability.
