Required Room Size

A Good rule of thumb is to allow for aminimumof 4ft space all around the table for optimum playing comfort.

So for instance a 7ft x 4ft table would have 4ft either end of the long side of the table making 15ft ( 7ft table length + 4ft + 4ft ) and the same on the width making 12ft ( 4ft table width + 4ft + 4ft ). Please see our recommended guide below.

If you are tight for space then don't panic because we have shorter cues at 36" 42" and 48" for the shot when the ball is tight on the cushion.

Both the 6ft and 7ft tables are classed as league tables although most leagues prefer to play on a 7ft table if space permits. Either way both tables provide a great game so don't try and squeeze a 7ft in if it is going to be uncomfortable when playing.

It is important to check the size of the room to see if your intended table will fit. If a table is too large for the room you may not enjoy playing on it. A good idea is to draw a plan of the room and measure it at the nearest points to where your table is intended to stand. Do not measure into bay windows or to the recesses of a fireplace. All large furniture should be outside the measurements.

Finally if your table has to go upstairs we will require photos or a video to ensure access is possible. We rarely have a failed install but if there are any impossible turns or bad access then we can always supply a kit form table and built it up in your premises. There is an extra charge for this service but it will ensure that the table goes in safely and without damage.

Delivery & Installation

The delivery lead time on this table is approx 8-10 weeks from order. We can sometimes surprise and install a little quicker if we have stock or can get the table sooner from the manufacturers. We are located in close proximity to all the suppliers which allows us to collect your table quickly as it comes off the production line. Many of our competitors are located further afield and wait for several tables to be ready before making their collection. So for speedy delivery we have the edge.

Please note we would require onsite parking for a transit van on the day of delivery. Installations can take around 1 hour to complete.

We often get asked why tables can have long lead-times and what happens once an order is placed. For more information on this please click HERE. Also if you require further information on delivery and installation please click HERE.
