Home Room Size for 9' Table

Mine is 17.5’ x 36’. Room for pub table and chairs, spectator chair and a bar on the other end, stubbed in plumbing, but haven’t built it yet

The room, after remodeling, is 22.5' by 27'.

You are correct; it's difficult to find a house with a large room that does not have a support beam in a bad place for a pool table, especially if it's a mid-century from last century.

But, if you find a house with a room that could work, except for the beam (room did look awful; pic from first visit)...

...then just tear out everything, add a few temp supports to support the roof (this was before new decking and new roof was installed), get yourself a little old beam that's strong enough to support everything, and get your frame crew to install it...

...secure everything and remove the temporary supports...

...finally, finish it all off and add a pool table and a few other things.

That looks absolutely awesome. That's essentially the goal, but ideally with less effort :LOL:. I had a neighbor a looong time ago that did that in their unfinished basement. Would be far more of a challenge in a finished room.

Bonus points for the great looking floor and the dart board, but I will lightly shame you for putting the TV above the mantle. Hopefully on a swivel mount so yo can see it from the rest of the room?

We have five televisions, but the only one not on a swivel is the one on the fireplace. We designed it that way, although it would be easy enough to change out the mount.

I'm not interested in TV when I'm playing pool. If it's a sports event that I'm not interested in enough to want to watch all of it, then it's easy enough to listen as there is a surround sound system in the Gameroom. If I want to check an instructional video on pool, I sit there and watch it and make notes. Then, I turn the TV off and refer to my notes while practicing.

Thanks for the nice comments about the room! My wife likes it because "it's cozy back here".

Have a GCIV on a 16'x20' (inside dimensions) outdoor deck that I enclosed. The deck was over spanned to begin with and was like a trampoline if you jumped up and down. Added a 20' support beam underneath and beefed up the 4 spots for the table's feet.

Works out perfect to include spectator chairs in 2 corners, shelves and drawers in the other 2 corners and other regular chairs along the 20' sides.

Damn.
My room is like 16x26 and I feel I don't have as much room around mine as you do.

What kind of voodoo you doing?!

I recon the difference is between inward looking and outward looking.

Imagine in the future the walls of any room could look like anything you want.

You could be playing pool in a box of a room with any surroundings from the artic tundra to the tropics as a background.

I've been casually watching the housing market in my area and was curious for those that have a 9-foot table in their home:
- How big is your room?
- Is the size right, or could it be bigger/smaller?
- Anything you would change about the room itself or things to avoid?
- Pics are also appreciated.

I know every table manufacturer has their minimum room size recommendations, but I wanted thoughts from people that have a table and these monsters make rooms look really small.
I've been using the 100"x50" playing surface + 67" (59" cue with 8" extension for stroke space) around the edges.
Math works out to 19'6" x 15'4" so i've been looking for 20'x16'.

Hard to find a big room that doesn't have a pillar in the middle of it...:cautious:

15’ x 19’ room dimensions gives you just enough room for a 9’ table for no obstructions and to place chairs in the 4 corners, assuming no cue extensions of more than 2”.

15’ x 22’ would allow you enough room to place chairs / seating / cooler / bar, etc along one of the end walls and still place 2 chairs in the opposite end corners.

I mostly want to see what a 9-foot table looks like in the room.
I've done loads of math, but want to be 100% sure i find a room that will work. The visual is reassuring.

If you give me the exact room size, I can make a quick drawing in 3d with a table, walks, and cue stick on the rail. Idk if that will help you.
