Room size ???

15' X 20' takes the walls out of interfering.
For reference the playing area is 56 X 112

5' on all sides of the playing area for a 58" cue is the absolute minimum. This gives you just enough room for a 1-2" stroke (plenty of stroke when right on the rail) when the cue ball is against the rail and the shot is perpendicular to the rail.
For a 56 x 112 playing area, the minimum would be 14' 8" x 19' 4"...

I'm fairly certain the play area of a 5x10 is 56x112. Not 58.
You are correct sir. A mistyping on my part. Post edited.
14'4" X 19' with the table dead centered would be the exact measurement of play area plus length of cue from rail edge to wall on any side of the table. You'll be either using a shorty cue or jacking up the 58" cue for any perpendicular or close to perpendicular shot where the cueball is frozen to the rail which typically won't be too often.

This again?
This is where you pitch in some information about room size, as that was the OP question, not turn it into a lets see what the "experts know" session...again! This is how you start turning a simple question into....a "debate over who's right and who's wrong, and I know something that you guys don't know" acording to you John!Glen
If that's the case, then YOU should have started this thread in the first place asking the same question, instead of using this thread to "question" the experts as you so put it. So,...either contribute, or start a thread of your own...asking the same question. The OP asked the question in this thread, so talk to him, don't turn this into a test for others, that way maybe OTHERS might learn from your answers, that maybe didn't know what you do. I for one know the answers to this question, but if I'm the one that answers every question on this forum...what need is there for anyone else to respond to ANY questions asked here....if I'm the one that always answers first?
So, speak...so that others might learn!Glen

Glen your posts are nearing 4000, now you are not going to answer anything anymore? My question is for my friend scruffy, go ahead and answer it if you want but I don't think you have the answer but you may. Then the thread will be over won't it. I will stick with the logic you suggest and let others think about it. I merely am pointing out that those are not the only factors that should be considered.

Take it that way if you want, but its not my answer according to me but one that I thought people in the business knew. I feel the same way and maybe I shouldn't have said lets see what the experts know but its ok for anyone else to say that but me.Like I said before I am NOT perfect. I remember you asking me questions like that, sorry if offended you or anyone else which I guess everyone automatically takes offense to what I say. The thread asked a question and I am pointing out that there is more. Sometimes to verify what I know I want to see what others think. If I just give out answers how would I really know.

yes you are an expert, those are great points but not what I was looking for.
When I say "lets see what the experts know" I really don't know why anyone would take offense to being called an expert. I know some expert pool players who regularly show me new shots they have learned from other experts, its all how you want to read it I guess.

That statement right there is exactly what I'm talking about John, it goes right back to what I said earlier, "I've got a secret, can you guys guess what it is?"
John, don't respond to a thread if you can't simply answer the OP question, because you have this habit of turning a thread into something personal when your main purpose for entering a thread is NOT to answer the question....but to ASK a question...."Do you guys know what I know?????...Who gives a shit! Either contribute, or shut up.

OK, its important to me to know who the table is for. For example: a man 5 4 may want his table set up a little lower, a tall man might want it higher. Of course a mechanic doesn't have to ask these questions but if the customer will be spending alot of time at the table I thinks its a factor and one they will appreciate ever after. Of course it may not be practical on many models to do this but if the customer has a GC for example its an easy accomodation.
Now if they guy is big like me he will want (NEED)more than 5 feet around the table.

Why couldn't you have just posted this in the first place, instead of turning your first comment into a guessing game? Table height has nothing to do with room size, that's more of an after thought, personal choice, has nothing to do with if a table will fit in a room or not. 5 feet around a table is the minimum space required in order to not have any short spots using a 58" cue, that has nothing to do with how BIG you are, or how tall, it has everything to do with back stroke...do you have enough room or not. Windows have a lot to do with which way the table gets positioned, but has nothing to do with room size either.

PS. Wish you the best of luck on your own forum
