What Size Pool Table?

For those who may not have ample room for a regulation size table, the cheap pool table plans allow the builder to scale the size of the table down to suit a particular area.

The base of a pool table consists of the legs and the table body. This is an integral system that can be built in the classic style, with a full width pedestal at each end that comprise the legs, and threaded feet that allow for precise leveling adjustment.

Make Your Own Designs & Styles

The cheap pool table plans will show you how to duplicate several designs, and how to construct the desired style using hardwood veneer, or medium density veneer such as mahogany.

The plans will take you through this important phase of the assembly, from sizing and attaching the individual pieces that comprise the legs and table base, to installing the adjustable feet.

Traditionally, the pool table playing surface is comprised of three, individual pieces of 1-1/2” thick granite. This thickness creates sufficient weight, in order to ensure the table is not easily moved.

Heavy Weight Needed

Any movement of a pool table can throw the top out of level, and in this regard, the heavy weight is needed for tables in pool halls and recreation centers. The cheap pool table plans describe how to employ a single piece of lighter weight granite, and achieve the same optimum playing results.

With the granite installed on the base, the plans illustrate how the felt is drawn and fastened to give the classic table-top appearance.

Here again, cheap pool table plans offer specifications for the type of felt, and from that point, the choice of color becomes a matter of personal preference.

Most pool tables will employ the same color felt on the cushions, to add uniformity to the design.

Step by Step Instructions

By following the step-by-step instructions as given in the cheap pool table plans, by the time the pockets are ready to install, the hardwood legs and base have been stained, the felt top and cushions are in place, and the table is close to it’s first rack of balls.
