Space & Dimensions

How much room do you need for a pool table?

The chart below illustrates the minimum room dimensions needed for pool tables of various sizes.

A standard cue stick length is 57″-58″ long. We have highlighted minimum space you would need to play comfortably with a standard cue stick for each size pool table with our space & dimensions chart below. Some game rooms might not have space to use a standard 57″-58″ pool cue, so we have also listed the space needed for the shorter standard cues the industry sells: 52″, 48″, 42″,  and 36″.  Many customer will have a variation of these cues on hand for obstacles like beams, poles, or other pieces of furniture which obstruct only a few particular shots. These cues can also be used for youth, please see McDermott Cues youth pool cue chart to determine the right size,
