Pool tables commonly come in four sizes; 7’ (39”x78”),8’ Home(44”x88”),8.5’ Pro (46”x92”)and 9’(50”x100”). An eight foot pool table is considered full sized, a seven foot pool table is considered bar size, and a nine foot pool table is considered tournament size. Most households have eight foot pool tables.

2. What size room do I need for a pool table?

4. Can I install my own pool table?

Most people do not realize that pool tables are shipped in many pieces and require specialized assembly. If you are mechanically inclined and have some upholstery experience, you may be able to install your own pool table. However, professional pool table installation is recommended.

5. What is the proper way to move a pool table?

The correct way to move most pool tables is to disassemble them and move the slate separately. On a conventional pool table with three piece slate, the top rails and cloth must be removed. Most pool table top rails are bolted from the underside. The cloth is either stapled, or glued. The slate screws may be covered with plaster or wax. Once the slate screws are exposed, they may be removed to separate the slate from the body. Professional pool table moving is recommended.

6. How long will my pool table felt last?

Pool table felt can last for many years. Some factors that will reduce your felt's life are extreme heat or sun exposure, spills and stains, and physical abrasion. Covering your pool table when not in use will extend the life of your felt.

7. What grade of felt do you use?

ABS uses Championship Felt, Ivan Simonis or Brunswick Centennial worsted wool cloth.

8. What type of billiard tables do you service?

3-Piece and 1-Piece slate tables only. Regrettably we do not service any non-slate bed tables.
