I got my table in the garage… it’s only been set up since last fall though. I got through the winter with a space heater. Im not sure how hot it’ll be in there this summer. I live in Charlotte NC.
Might not hurt to see if any exterior walls on the garage are insulated. Not alot of garages are built with hvac in mind. Along with a good modern garage door.
I love the sound the balls make, if I could make it louder, I would lol. And as far as the concrete, I just found a big area rug to go under my table. Eventually I’ll get carpet tiles to go around the perimeter of the rug, but I’m content atm
I practice at home on a OS 8. I gamble and do league at the pool room on 9 ft tables...I made my pockets a little tighter on my home table to compensate. I can’t tell a difference, and I too was worried about it before I got set up.
The most important thing is you are going to be able to hit...
Sorry everyone, I been mean to post these for a couple weeks now... finally got my room in order!

I appreciate that, if you hear anything from your guy, let me know.

Basically I just had the sub rails replaced, new cushions, and covered by JZ. Now I need my table put together.
It looks like “these guys” are the only choice in my area. I took to these forums to see if any other passionate players on this site had anything to say about them. That’s when I...
Yeah, that price doesn’t bother me if it’s a good job. Not in the slightest. I didn’t mean to sound cheap lol. I just don’t want to spend that for shoddy work.
“these guys” as in the company that installed the op’s table. Classic home billiards.
Jack was great to work with btw, and i paid him...
Have you found a good mechanic in the area since this post? I got an install quote from these guys, sub rails and rubber redone by jack Zimmerman and already covered, for 400 bucks...
seemed kinda high considering I have the bed cloth, everything is labeled and laid out in the room where it...
Sorry guys been busy with work and getting my projects done so I can get my room ready... I can’t wait!
They had it listed as a 9’ but turns out it’s a O/S 8. That’s even better for my room because a 9 would’ve been snug.
Turns out that it is slate... I think anyways because of the mill marks...
