Ideas for my new basement pool room

jalapus logan · Jul 8, 2018

Well, as I said earlier, not going to be playing much or at all this year. But that doesn't mean that I won't be thinking about playing pool. And I will certainly be seeking cool ideas for my new basement pool room. Construction for the new home begins in about a month, so I've got time to ruminate.

How's this for starters, rather than turning this prather shortsplice into a pool cue, how about I repurpose it as the handle for the door to my new pool room/lair?

I want to have some fun with this space.

Have a lot fun. Put up a wall rack or 2 and fill them.

Maybe obvious but something I'd overlooked - be nice to have wiring in place to control the table light from a wall switch and something solid to hang the light from.

Put in a bar for entertaining guests. Also, a small section for a basement living room. This is great for watching the big game.

That would make a heck of a door handle! Will you still have your Diamond and the bar box?

Will the basement be half underground or completely?

What about a veggie garden:grin:

I sold the bar box, so I will only have the 9' diamond. It will be a walk out basement with a view of one of my future gardens, perhaps a rain garden. I'm pretty stoked!

We are going to have 12 acres of paddocks and 10 acres of gardens, veggies, etc

Sounds great! I have a big window over my Diamond and it can be a problem if I want to play in the morning. These are a bit tacky but kinda cool too.

Put some thought into the floor.
I put new carpet in my basement last year before I installed the pool table.
I’m beginning to wear a path around the table.
I should of used a better carpet or maybe wood or tile.

I'm thinking about doing acid stained concrete. My allergies can't abide carpet.

Hard on the feet and balls when they fly...……..

Might try a sissel rug. Nothing with a lot of nap. I'm undecided.

I was going to say the same thing. I think you need some kind of cushion around the table for the balls, and your feet. I would also suggest a good dehumidifier. I grew up in Kentucky with a table in the basement and the humidity was awful. It caused significant ball hop during the warm sticky months.

There is some nice looking cork flooring that goes down easy. Its ball friendly and dampens the sound very nicely.

Nice, I'll put cork into the realm of consideration.

Add an area for non players, my new home I added another room near the pool and bar room. The extra room house's several arcade games, large sectional and big screen and a nice dining table. Honestly it's where the women hang out while the guys are being guys.

I have a switch on the wall by the door when you walk into my pool room and
it's really nice just flip the switch and your ready to go.
