Will a snooker table fit your room?

Pick a table, use your longest cue, and measure the smallest clear rectangle. We’ll show the playing minimum and a more forgiving target.

Full size uses the official playing area. Smaller table dimensions are typical approximations—check the exact model before buying.

This is a planning check, not an installation guarantee. Confirm the cabinet dimensions, installer's clearance, access route, floor loading, lighting, and local conditions for the exact table.

The useful detail

How the calculation works

The basic planning formula is the table's playing-area length or width plus one cue length at each end. The calculator then adds 10 cm around all four sides for its comfort target. A room can pass the mathematical minimum and still feel awkward because real rooms have rails, walls, doors, radiators, furniture, and people.

The official full-size playing area is 3,569 mm by 1,778 mm. With a 57-inch (about 145 cm) cue, that produces a minimum very close to 647 cm by 468 cm. A retailer's published full-size planning example similarly gives 646 cm by 468 cm.

Slate tables are specialist installations and can be extremely heavy. Check access, floor suitability, assembly clearance, and lighting with the supplier or installer before paying a deposit.
