How large would a room need to be for me to have a pool table?

I want to surprise my husband with a new pool table, but I am not sure that the spare room I have available is a large enough space. What are the minimum room dimensions to accommodate play on a standard size pool table?

How strong does a floor need to be to support a pool table?

Phred asked:


I’m thinking about putting a pool table in the room over the garage. The floor is 3/4″ plywood over 2×10’s that are 16″ on center. They span about 15 feet. Will that need to be reinforced?
