Facing same situation with 9' BBC table wife bought in the spring.
Finally finished concrete piers and steel in the cellar to hold the floor up this week.
Now need to decide whether to remove hall wall upstairs adjacent front room where it goes. Same as you - 5' opening, except at the end. Order more steel and some more framing material to take most of the wall out? or live with room 6" too short?
Luckily i can live with it a little longer - room would be big enough if we removed 3' of furniture at the other end. But then again, the hall is kind of "useless" so why not open it have have both options? Except of course for the extra timeThere's always one (or 2 or 3....) more steps in a project than a person really wants to plan for on the direct route.

If removing furniture would solve your problem... boy I would do that in a heart beat. After 10 yrs of projects at my old place ... only project I want on weekend is mowing my small lawn :grin:
My blanket response: this and similar charts should be banned from serious discusson.
But the OP said they are amateur players and don’t mind the shorty cue, but on the ofher hand, this is suppose to be a serious pool forum, so I wouldnt expect anyone to point to that chart on here.
That’s my personal opinion and not necessarily the views of AZBilliards or my employers.

This will always come as confusing, but if 18’ is your required length for an 8’ table, then its respective required width would be 14’ 4”. It’s a simple math thing.
I wouldnt want someone to get an 18x14 room for an 8’ table and find out they’re shorter on the width because the math is wrong.
Freddie <~~~ confusing since 1967
Oh yes I understood you...
I was just giving additional info that we considered dining area until my wife talked me out of it
Best way to mock-up the playing area is with an 8ft cover on the floor. It will give u a good idea of how much room I will have.

Great idea. A 4x8 sheet of plywood and empty boxes, crates or saw horses. Easy to setup, not much of an expense, and the OP will know immediately if it’s a go or no go!
Yes, i plan on doing this. I think i already know i would not be happy with current space. I just need.to convince myself lol... if.i was.at my old place... this wall would be already out. But this house not 1 yr old yet :/
Ok well we decided to swap furniture around... and pool table will be in living room adjacent to tv area. And area where pool was going to go originally will be our dining. Think it will flow/look nice. So, plenty of space around table now... greater than 5ft.
We have a very nice wool rug that matches table well... should we put table on that? Or is that something we dont want to do?
Thx for help!!

We sometimes call it 'basement pool,' and call whatever is interfering with the shot, 'the furnace.' Or we say, 'You've got a wall shot.'

Yes! Think it will work out well. Nixing the rug idea... not big enough. Edge/height in the way and makes things akward
