Things that you need to consider when looking for your ideal folding pool or snooker table:

The size of the folding pool or snooker table:

Folding pool and snooker tables are most commonly between 4ft and 6ft, with those sizes offering the best game play-convenience ratio. It is important to remember that the size of the pool or snooker table will obviously be the same when folded, so remember to consider the storage implications before you buy a table. You should also consider the size of the area where the table will be used, as the players will require space to take their shots, so we recommend measuring the size of the cue and ensuring that there is a full lengths space between all walls.

The type of folding mechanism:

As mentioned earlier, there are numerous different folding mechanisms on the market, with the two main ones being the vertical up-right folding system, and the lay-flat folding system. Both of these folding systems offer an effective storage solution that is convenient for the user.

The complexity of the folding mechanism:

Both of the folding mechanisms details above are quick and simple to set-up and take-down, making it easier for you to enjoy playing pool or snooker and then make use of the space straight after.

The features of the folding pool or snooker table:

The features of a folding pool or snooker table will obviously have a big impact upon the quality of the table, and perhaps even the performance. Added features such as a ball-return system, wheels or free accessories will make the game easier and less time consuming for the user, whilst also offering further enticement to play.

The colour of the felt:

The colour of the felt on these folding tables is a matter of preference, with different options including red, blue, orange, purple and of course green. Most pool and snooker tables in the UK have green felt, but some of the tables featured on our website are distinctively eye-catching as a result of their brightly coloured felt.

2 x pool/snooker cues
1 x triangle
1 x set of pool/snooker balls
