Pool Table Purchase and Space Planning Guide
As an indoor sport that combines fun and competitiveness, pool is deeply loved by the public. If you are opening a billiard hall or need to buy a pool table for home use, there are two key issues you need to carefully consider before making a purchase: how to select a suitable pool table, and exactly how much space is required to place a pool table.
How Much Space is Needed to Place a Pool Table?
How many square meters are needed to place a pool table? Placing a pool table requires approximately 26 square meters. The standard size of a Chinese-style pool table is 1.55 meters x 2.83 meters. The standard length of a pool cue is 1.45 meters. There should be at least a 1.5-meter clearance around the table for making shots. So, the space needs to be at least 4.5 meters wide and 5.8 meters long. The area is approximately 26 square meters. Multiple pool tables can share the 1.5-meter space in the middle. You can calculate the specific area required according to the above schematic diagram.
Key Points for Purchasing a Pool Table
Material Selection: The material of the table surface has a significant impact on the movement trajectory and speed of the balls. High-quality pool tables generally use natural slate as the table surface, such as bluestone. It has a high density and good flatness, which can make the balls roll more smoothly and stably. For the frame material, it is recommended to choose hardwoods like oak and maple. Hardwood frames have strong stability. The Spike pool table uses Grade A bluestone from Jiujiang as the table surface. The bluestone has a high density and strong load-bearing capacity, ensuring that the pool table will not deform after long-term use.
Table Structure and Stability:
Check the base frame and joints of the pool table to ensure there is no looseness. A stable leg design is crucial for the overall stability, and you can observe the number and layout of the legs. You can also push the pool table to feel if it shakes, or roll a ball on the table to check if the ball rolls smoothly and in a straight line, so as to judge the flatness and stability of the pool table.
Quality of Accessories:
The accessories of the pool table, such as billiard balls, pool cues, and triangle racks, also affect the user experience. High-quality billiard balls have good elasticity and uniform weight, providing a better feel and higher accuracy when hitting the balls. The pool cue should be light and durable, with a straight shaft and moderate weight, so that you can apply force and control the direction better when hitting the balls.
Price:
The prices of pool tables vary greatly depending on the material, brand, and size, ranging from several thousand yuan to tens of thousands of yuan. When purchasing, you should choose a suitable pool table according to your budget. When buying, you should balance the relationship between price and quality based on your own budget and expectations for the quality of the pool table, and avoid sacrificing the user experience in pursuit of a low price.
