Billiard Tables
Buying a billiard table for sports, clubs and leisure time
Who benefits from a billiard table?
Billiard tables are a sensible purchase for schools, sports clubs or the office.

Schools can offer appropriate billiards courses and sports clubs are given the opportunity to expand their offer.
How heavy is a billiard table or pool table?
The high weight of the billiard tables is due to the use of several slate plates and the solid wooden frame construction. In addition, the weight of the table depends on the size of the top. The minimum weight for pool tables is 300 kilograms. Larger models weigh 350 kilograms and more.
How big is a billiard table?
The manufacturers offer their tables in various standard sizes and play areas. The following sizes and dimensions are common:
- 6 feet: 180 x 90 cm
- 7 feet: 200 x 100 cm
- 8 feet: 224 x 112 cm
- 9 feet: 254 x 127 cm
Tables of all sizes are suitable for in-between games and leisure. For games in the Bundesliga and for international championships, such as snooker tables, tournament tables with a size of 9 feet are required.
Can a table damage the floor?
The billiard table or pool table does not place any special demands on the statics of the room. Billiard tables are heavy, but their weight is within a frame that is no problem for modern houses and floor constructions.
Everything you need to know about the correct maintenance of the billiard table
Billiard tables are a high-priced investment, so long-term maintenance through proper care is all the more important. The basic equipment of the table, for example, includes a brush. This frees the billiard cloth from chalk and other residues. It makes sense to use the brush after each game played in order to keep the billiard cloth clean and to offer subsequent billiard players optimal conditions. Furthermore, of course, a cover plate or a drape, depending on the space required, helps to keep the table clean from dust and other impurities.
What do buyers look for in a billiard table?
The good responsiveness of the boards is important at the billiard table and pool table. These consist of a rubber and ensure that the ball bounces back to the center of the table at high speed after hitting it. Buyers look for high-quality solid rubber bands made of natural rubber.
The slab of slate plays a crucial role in the course of the ball. Thick plates are heavier and place higher demands on transport, but they also ensure that the balls run smoothly and straight. Good sheets start with a thickness of around 25 mm.
Where do billiard players keep the billiard balls?
The easiest way to store the balls and other billiard accessories, such as billiard cues, is directly on the table top. Some models have a silent automatic ball return. The table collects the balls at the bottom on the front. This is great for storing them even after the game. Otherwise, the triangle made of wood or plastic is also useful for tidy storage of the balls.
