Should pool table be covered when not in use?

Unlike other kinds of tables, a pool table needs to be covered when not in use. This prevents dust and other particles from settling on the felt surface and messing up the playing area. Don't cover your pool table with just anything, however. A sizable tarpaulin mat should do well enough.

Is a 6ft pool table big enough?
6-foot tables are great for anyone who wants to learn how to play pool and has limited space. While there are “table-top” and smaller pool tables, anything less than 6 feet makes playing pool difficult because the playing area is so tiny.

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.

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.
