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.
