Pool Table Cloth Cutting Size Guide

What Size Cloth Does My Table Require

A common problem when purchasing pool table cloth is knowing which size cloth you need to buy.

There are usually a couple of reasons for the confusion which are outlined below:

1. UK pool tables are measured from cabinet end to end. So a 7ft x 4ft UK pool table actually measures 7x4ft from side to side and end to end of the cabinet. This means that the playing surface is less than 7x4ft which often leads people to thinking they have a 6ft table.

2. American pool tables are measured soley on the playing surface. A 7ft American style pool table has a 7ft x 4ft playing surface. Many people are actually unaware that they have an American style table and this can lead to the wrong cloth being bought.

Below is a cloth cutting guide which most pool table cloth manufacturers work to. We hope this helps when choosing your cloth.
