Most pubs use the smaller UK style tables because of space constraints and the fact that the UK game has a skill level ratio to that of Snooker appeals to the British player. For example the full size American league pool table is 9ft x 5ft and the ball size is 2”1/4 compared to the UK 2” ball. In a nutshell the American table is bigger in every aspect including Cabinet, Slate, Pockets and Balls. Question – What is the difference between a UK pool table and an American table? If it’s too tight we can supply in total kit form and assemble the table from scratch in your house. Tables come in three parts Cabinet, Slate and Legs so most locations will take a table. Question – Can you install upstairs or downstairs?Īnswer- Yes we can. So for that one tight spot you have - we have a cue to fix it. If you don’t have 4ft all round don’t panic! We have cues from 36 inch, 42 inch, 52 inch and 57 inch. So for a 7ft x 4ft table you would need 15ft x 12ft. That’s why we recommend a professional install.Īnswer – As a rule of thumb you ideally need 4ft all around the table. They weigh between 220kgs and 260kgs of which 100kgs is down to the slate. Whether its Hainsworth or Strachan 100% wool napped cloth or the faster speed cloth from Simonis it is all designed specifically for the tables we sell.Īnswer – Yes they are. Our home tables on Pool Tables Online are all fitted with professional billiard cloth designed to be hardwearing and provide the optimum game. Question – What about the cloth on the tables?Īnswer- Well first of all it is not cheap “baize” that you get on some card tables and on some cheap pool tables for that matter. Question – What about the cushion rubber?Īnswer - The cushion rubber has lots of bounce so the ball response is the same as you get on a pub pool table. The UK pubs use 2 inch Object Balls and 1-7/8 inch Cue Ball and these are the same on our UK slate bed tables. Smaller pubs would be unfairly restricted from entering many competitions if they could only fit a 6ft table into their space.Īnswer- Yes they are. The accepted league size table in UK pubs is the 7ft x 4ft table although the 6ft x 3ft 6inch is also accepted by the leagues and associations because of the smaller size of some UK pubs. Most of the tables we sell for the home are made by manufacturers of coin operated pool tables and so it makes sense for them to utilise components like slate and top frames in both home and coin tables.Īnswer – Yes they are. Question - Are your table’s proper pub size tables?Īnswer - Yes they are.
