| Hello everyone...
We are in the process of building our home. I have a 4 x 8 pool table and want to put a rug underneath it. The room is large and will have tile. I do not want to trip on the rug while playing...I have heard to go smaller that the rails..(to say out of the way )......but I am afraid that will look wrong in the size of this rm. The room is approx. 16' x 20'. I am leaning toward a 9 x 12 rug. Any feedback would greatly be appreciated... Thanks |

| ISTM that you are most likely to trip on the edges of the carpet, so I would suggest sizing and placing it such that you would not encounter any edges as you walk around the pool table. (4 x 6 under the table or 9 x 12 (or larger) with the table centered) JMHO |

| why do you want to put a rug underneath? Unless you get a rug big enough not to trip over when playing....which would have to be bigger than 9 by 12, because that only leaves 2 feet at each end of the table. I think it would look very silly to have a rug just under the table... Linda C |

| IMHO, in many cases a rug under the table looks nice. Extending out 2' might be a little skimpy, especially if you have some 'big boys' playing. The room is large and will have tile. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Google images rug under pooltable.

| Thanks for the suggestions....I am not really worried about the balls hitting the tile.....! I want the rug more for the look than anything else. But the price of a rug larger than 9 x 12 is more than I really want to spend. That is why I needed feedback....I agree that a small rug just under the table would look "wrong", especially in a large rm. Thanks everyone. If anyone has a links to rugs at great prices ......Please post them. Thanks again...! |
