Is pool table smaller than snooker?

Snooker tables are usually lower-set and bigger than pool tables, but their pockets are smaller than those of pool tables. A standard full-size UK snooker table measures 12 ft × 6 ft, which is double the length of a 6ft pool table. Snooker tables use a similar cloth to pool tables.

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.

Are bar pool tables smaller?
A bar-size pool table is a 7-foot table that is most typically found in bars and is coin-operated. Coin-operated pool tables are 7 feet long with a 78-inch-long and 39-inch-wide playing surface. These tables are two feet shorter than competition tables, making them inconvenient for serious or top-level players.

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.
