What size table do you have?
To measure a pool table for its size, measure the playing surface (from cushion nose to cushion nose) across the shortest side, as the length will always be double the width.
Standard sizes are 7-foot (39″ x 78″), 8-foot (44″ x 88″), and 9-foot (50″ x 100″).
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
What to Measure:
The playing surface, not the overall dimensions of the table, is what determines the size.
How to Measure:
Use a tape measure.
Measure from the tip of one cushion to the tip of the opposite cushion on the shortest side of the table.
The length will always be twice the width.
Standard Sizes:
7-foot: 39 inches wide, 78 inches long.
8-foot: 44 inches wide, 88 inches long.
9-foot: 50 inches wide, 100 inches long.
Why Measure the Playing Surface?
Different pool table manufacturers use different rail widths, so measuring the playing surface ensures accurate sizing regardless of rail size.
