I feel so stupid

9 years ago

I moved my pool table from one area of my basement to another thinking it would create more room. Instead it didn’t & was a horrible idea . Now I’m wondering if the old area will still work being that the table is a 8ft table Instead of 7ft green is old table/area black is new table/area

If room somewhere, I'd locate the new pool table that is optimum for playing (without your cue sticks hitting a wall when you shoot). Make the table your focal point and arrange your seating and "party items" accordingly. Is the room also used for tv viewing? Or is this mainly the "game room"? Not every room needs a sofa or a sectional and poofy chairs. :)

Can you angle new table using corner as fulcrum point. If not, return new table and reset old one. You really need 3-4' around table min for ease of use. But you know this? Didn't measure? Make a paper template of the top of new table. Move it around and see if it works anywhere.

@flo I can angle it...the first table was angled. I cannot take the new table back it was bought from a previous owner & it has been customized. I bought short cue sticks for the tight corners

Hi Destiny if I'm looking at it correctly the space for the old pool table would be a better space for your new table. Especially if it's placed straight not. Angled. That way. There's enough room for players to walk around
table, you could add a wall for poolsticks, possibly even bar seating( if wanted) and a dart game( just a few ideas.

edenchild I DON’T HAVE AS MUCH SPACE AS YOU SUGGESTED IN THE LAST POST!!! In EITHER ROOM! So I bought short cue sticks to compensate for the short areas. THE DILEMMA IS HOW THE BASEMENT FUNCTIONS!!! We just had a party & having the pool table in the middle like we currently have it messed up the flow of the basement

stylzes2 thank you very much for your compliment. I have seen this picture before. However I do not think we have enough space to put the pool table straight. Wouldn’t have enough room to break
