Floor Strengths in Relation to the Weights of Snooker Tables

It is a common misconception that floors need to be specially strengthened to support the weight of full size snooker tables. In fact, the actual floor loading over the area involved is very low.

The total weight of the biggest snooker table (full size) is unlikely to exceed 1250kg.

The table stands on several legs so the incident loading is divided up over each leg.

This equates to 0.36 kgs/sq cm.

...Or approximately 15 people standing in the room.

A 6ft snooker table would equate to approximately 7.5 x 10-stone men standing in your room.

A 7ft snooker table would equate to approximately 9.5 x 10-stone men standing in your room.

A 8ft snooker table would equate to approximately 10.5 x 10- stone men standing in your room.

A 9ft snooker table would equate to approximately 11.5 x 10- stone men standing in your room.

A 10ft snooker table would equate to approximately 12.5 x 10- stone men standing in your room.

A 12ft snooker table would equate to approximately 15 x 10- stone men standing in your room.

This means that MOST ROOMS can withstand the weight of any of our tables, although one of our professional fitters would be glad to attend your premises and carry out a survey.
