How do you determine how big is your pool table and measure for correct felt size?
One of the first steps involved in purchasing the correct pool table felt and accessories is to correctly determine your pool table size. Because of differences in cabinet styles and sizes, you can not tell the size of a table by measuring the outside length and width of the cabinet.
The easiest way to determine size is to measure the playfield width from the inside tip of one rubber bumper to the inside tip of the opposite rubber bumper. This would effectively be the width and length of your actual playing surface.
Use the pool table size chart and diagram below to determine the correct size with your measurements. If ordering pool table felt and you have an 8-foot oversize pool table and that’s not available, order a 9-foot. You can cut it down to the size you need.
6 Foot Size If Playing Surface is 32″ W x 64″ L
