Snooker Table Floor Loading
Snooker Table Floor Loading
(Floor strengths in relation to the weights of a full size snooker tables)
It is a common misconception that's floors need to be specially strengthened to support the weight of a full size snooker table. In fact, the actual floor loading over the area involved is very low indeed.
- The total weight of a full size snooker table is unlikely to exceed: 1250.00 kgs
- The table will stand on 8 legs so the incident loading per leg is approximately: 156.25 kgs
- The area of each leg in contact with the floor will be at least: 50.00 sq cms
- So the incident loading per square centimetre is only, approximately: 3.13 kgs/sq cm
- However, the average floor loading over the floor area occupied by the table: 35.00 sq m
- Will be only in the region of: 0.36 kgs/sq cm
- Or approximately 15 people standing in the room.
