Buying A Snooker Table
When purchasing a Snooker/Pool table it is most important to
check the size of the room. If a table is too large for the room
you may not enjoy playing on it. Draw a plan of the room and measure
it at its nearest points. Do not measure into bay windows or to
the recesses of a fireplace. All large furniture should be outside
the measurements shown below.
You should note at this point that there is no advantage to positioning
a table diagonally in a room as the corner pockets are brought
closer to the walls. The weight of a snooker/pool table varies
considerably with the size and type of table. The all up weight
of a full size table is approximately 25 cwt (1270 kg). These
tables usually stand on 8 legs so that each leg will support approximately
3.12 cwt (158.75 kgs). A full size table however actually occupies
a floor in excess of 6.5 sq.m (72sq.ft.) therefore the average
weight per sq.m is 195 kg (39lbsq.ft).
This is a very reasonable floor load but even this does not allow
for the additional floor space around the table used for cueing.
We would therefore say that if a floor is of a sound construction
it will usually carry the weight of a full size table without
special strengthening. However if you have any doubts, please
consult a building engineer.
