While not using your pool table what temperature should you keep the room in summer? And in winter? This is for my table at home but I dont want it to get to hot or to cold. Thanks, Travis

Travis, treat it like you do the rest of your home. The normal temp...

Do what you do for yourself...throw an extra blankey on the poor little thing when it's cold out and save on the energy bill. For your cues and table, you need to be more concerned about the humidity. Get a quality gauge to measure that and control it one way or the other in season with a dehumidifier or humidifier.
 
Temperature is not as important as humidity. Make sure the room is dry, or have a dehumidifier running. In my basement, I have 2 dehumidifiers running 24/7 (except in the winter).

Well mine has been in my cellar for 4 years with winter temps getting down around 50 at times (rare) and summer up around 75 or so. It has appeared to suffer no appreciable damage.
I have a dehumidifier down there too, but it just can't keep up with the summer humidity. I'm actually more concerned about that than temp.
 
I know what you mean. I had one dehumidifier and I would empty it when I got home from work. Every day it would be completely full and the machine turned off automatically sometime before I got home from work and the humidity in the basement would get really bad.

When I got the second one, it solved the problem. They would fill up about every two days, so as long as I emptied them each day, the humitidy would be under control. Try getting a second one.

Glad to help...but since I can't write mine off (for the one dehumidifier that I run 24/7) how about splittin' the savings on your second one from my brilliant deduction. :D I really don't know why you'd need two running in NY for that many months, it's not that humid there in comparison to where I live in the south. It gets HUMID in GA, and I run one unit. Sometimes I also can't go a 24 hour cycle before it fills up, but it's only an hour or two short.
 
Some of the better quality billiards tables have heated slate to keep the cloth and rails dry and fast. They are slightly warm to the touch. Just an idea to think about, there.

Hey, you could turn the thermostate down in the house at night and just sleep on the table. Hey Kevin, where are you in relation to Iwakuni?

That doesn't help if you have a whole bunch of cues that are worth some money. Those cues inhale and exhale that humidity like they're on a respirator and you can see quite a variance in weight in each of them over the course of a year if you don't keep the humidity stable. All of that expansion and contraction is not good.

According to a usmc.mil site, "Although there are several large cities near Iwakuni, Hiroshima is the most notable one. Hiroshima is located approximately 25 miles northeast of Iwakuni."

Hiratsuka is a small town of 250,000 people about one hour/40miles from Tokyo, halfway to Mt. Fuji in Kanagawa-ken, Shonan area, on Sagami bay... in other words Atsugi naval air station, where MacArthur first landed, is the closest base, then perhaps Yokosuka and Yokota bases. But I'm not military or even ex-military, just another ex-pat teaching and playing pool for fun.
