Regulation pool tables are 9 foot, 8 foot and oversize 8 foot. In addition, pool tables of 6 foot and 10 foot have been in regular use.
The 9 foot table has a 100 inch by 50 inch playing surface.
The 8 foot table has an 88 inch by 44 inch playing surface.
The oversize 8 foot table has a 92 inch by 46 inch playing surface.
The simple method if you want to have full use of the pool table is to add 10 feet to the table size you wish to use. So, you need more than 19 feet by 14.5 feet in the room to use a 9 feet by 4.5 feet pool table. This is based on the length of a cue stick, typically 58 inches.
Pool tables are measured by their playing area size. The common regulation pool tables are 9 feet long and 4 1/2 feet wide playing area, although 8 feet by 4 feet is also regulation size today. Pool tables are also made 7 feet by 3 1/2 feet play area, often called "bar size". The actual dimensions are about a foot more in each direction, as the "rails" extend beyond the play area.
The proper dimensions for a room depends upon the size of the table. The room needs to be at 56 inches larger than the pool table in every direction to be able to make all shots - 5 feet is typically recommended. Use the following pool table size to get the minimums for a room -
9 foot table - 112 inches plus 56 x 2 = 18 ft 8 inches minimum length
and 62 plus 56 x 2 = 14 feet 6 inches wide
8 foot table - 100 inches plus 56 x 2 = 17 feet 8 inches minimum length
and 56 plus 56 x 2 = 14 feet wide
Smaller rooms require the use of a short stick for some shots.
A regulation pool table play area is in one of 3 sizes, each with a different area -
100 x 50 inches - 5000 square inches
92 x 46 inches = 4232 square inches
88 x 44 inches = 3872 square inches
Table Sizes vary: # 3.5 foot x 7 foot for a bar size table # 4 foot x 8 foot for home # 4.25 foot x 8.5 foot for commercial # 4.5 foot x 9 foot for tournaments
