Do i need to reinforce my floor for a pool table?

It is a commonly thought that floors need to be specially strengthened to support the weight of pool tables and snooker tables. In fact, the actual floor loading over the area involved is very low. We do however advise that you make your own checks and do not assume that it will be ok.

How long can a pool table last?
Generally, 20-25 years, although some cushion rubber lasts longer. If the pool table has seen direct sunlight, cushion life will be greatly reduced. We have also seen pool tables less than five years old that have “dead” cushions. It is unusual but it happens.

Can you level a pool table yourself?
An uneven pool table will prevent accuracy in players' shots, and will allow the balls to roll to one side or area of the table. With a few items from a home improvement or hardware store, such as a carpenter's tool and some shims, you can level your pool table.

What makes a pool table fast?
The balls, the rails, the cloth, ambient temperature, humidity, as well as the cleanliness of the balls affect the table's speed or the way in which the balls roll today. At times one player will say the table plays fast today another player may disagree.
