Can I put a 9 ft table in this room?

3.2 metres equals about 10.5 feet, which is not enough for any size table.
You would need 3.2 meters plus the size of the table to have enough room. So a 4 1/2' x 9' table would need maybe 4.5' + 3.2 meters (10+') = appr 15 feet and the same for the 9' portion.
My math suck but you get the idea.
Here are guidelines for various size tables.

Even with a 7 foot bar table and using a shorty 48" cue you wouldn't have enough width with only 10.5 feet. Get a table with a ball return and push it against the wall, at least you can use it for practice!

This one should fit just fine! :grin:

Yeah, I have a 13.5 foot wide room for a 8 foot table and I really need more space. Your going to find that a 7 foot table will be very tight in that space.
You could fit it in there okay, but you'd only be able to sit there and look at it.
It would fit perfectly for the activities for which most home pool tables are known...
Yes-Great for folding laundry!
through experience, i would much rather have a table that is smaller that i can play comfortably on than a bigger table that is tight. playing cramped on a big table can be annoying, but hey- you get good at shooting awkward.
Yep you can fit a 9 footer in there...
On it's side in pieces...hell probably have enough room for an 8 footer too.
As I mentioned in a recent thread, that diagram is a sales tool and not "helpful information."
Here is the FAQ/answer from the old RSB group. I think it is still correct.
11. ** How much room do I need for a table?
The minimum space for a table is the playing area plus the length of a
cue (58") plus about 6 inches for the back swing, more for comfort, on
each side. This gives the table:
table --- playing area --- room size --- in meters
8' --- 44" x 88" --- 14'4" x 18' --- 4.37m x 5.49m
8+' --- 46" x 92" --- 14'6" x 18'4" --- 4.42m x 5.59m
9' --- 50" x 100" --- 14'10" x19' --- 4.5m x 5.8m
12' (snooker)--- 70" x 140.5" --- 16'6" x 22'5" --- 5.0m x 6.8m
"Seven foot" tables vary in size. Work down from the 8' dimensions.
"8+" is an "oversized" 8-foot table.
If your room does not meet these minimum size requirements, many
billiard retailers will suggest that you can still put a table in, and
use short cues (52", or 48"). Many people have found they are unhappy
having to resort to shorter cues, and should have either gotten a
smaller table, or no table at all. Others, of course, take the
opposite view -- they are delighted to have any table.
In the end, only you will know whether you are happy with the room
dimensions and need for short cues. Before you spend $2000 for a table
that will cause you to smash the walls in frustration, try this:
(1) Find an indulgent pool hall when it's not busy. (2) Measure your
space (at home) carefully, including the distance from the table to all
walls that require a special cue (3) Go to the pool hall with a piece
or pieces of plywood or some such, and a short cue, and set up the
"walls" to replicate where the walls would be in your house. Play for
several hours, using the short cue when needed.
Between two tables you can do with about the length of a cue, the limit
is caused not by the cue, but by the player being able to go into his
stance between the tables. Deluxe rooms really need more room on all
sides to let possible passers-by move without bumping into the players.

A friend of mine did more or less exactly that. He got a full-sized carom table and put it against the walls of his dining room. (No need for a ball return:thumbup
He could practice all the 3-cushion shots, but some he could only do in one direction around the table.
