I have a small home in south florida. I have always wanted a pool table but have no room for it in my house. I have an idea to build a covered area in my backyard for an outdoor pool table. I think it would need to be about 16' x 10'. I am envisioning a concrete (or another flooring material?) with posts anchored in each corner. A covering of some type would be supported by the posts.

I have a few questions about this idea:

1) Is this something that an amateur like myself could handle? I would like to do it on my own. I am not an experienced carpenter, but handy with tools. I have built my own bar and taken on a few projects around the house.

2) Are there plans available anywhere for a project like this?

3) Do you think I would need a poured concrete base? If so, is this something that I would need to hire someone for, or is there an option for the flooring that I could do myself?

Thanks for any feedback. It will be useful as I decide whether or not to take on this project.
