Room & Slate Size Chart
Our plans include four standard pool table sizes. While your table may fit in the room, you must also ensure you will have unobstructed play, or at least plan for obstructions up front. This decision is crucial prior to buying your slate. In order to use the chart below, you need to know a standard pool cue is 57" long and draw length is about 6". This means you can draw the cue stick back 6" from the cushion nose when the cue ball rests against the cushion without hitting anything behind you. Playfield + 2x(cue length + draw length) = Room Dimension You can shave a few inches off by not allowing for as much draw length, but you may be hitting the wall unless you use a shorter cue. Finally, remember that since the playfield is between noses of the opposing cushions, the minimum room dimension is going to be larger by 2x(cushion + rails). No provision has been made in room dimensions for chairs, tables, floor cue racks, wall racks or other items which could become obstructions.
SLATE - A SHORT HISTORY The slate used in our pool table plans is known as "oversized" slate. This slate is larger than older, "standard" slate so it can be bolted between the slate frame and the rails. Previously, pool table slate was bolted through the sides of the table into lead anchors or turnbuckle mechanisms. Click here for more...
