Your cloth is gray to better blend in with your interior, non-changeable, and its surface is slow. The starting line and the location of the 8 ball are marked according to official standards on the cloth to facilitate the preparation of your game. The pockets are called "nets" and can hold up to 5 American pool balls (44 mm in diameter). They have an opening of 8 cm and a depth of 7 cm.

The advantages of your table

This pool table is practical, mobile, and blends perfectly into your home, no matter your decor! Your pool table folds, unfolds, and stores away in minutes. No more thinking that a pool table takes up space! You'll find "flies," markers (white circles) on the frame, making it easier for you to hit cushion shots.

The dimensions and weight of your pack

Your BT 500 folding pool table will arrive at your home unassembled in a protective cardboard pack measuring 145 cm high by 80 cm long, 15 cm thick and 165 cm diagonal. The total weight of the pack is 39 kg.

Zoom in on your table legs

Your BT 500 pool table is equipped with casters, allowing you to easily move it from one room to another. Don't worry, your table won't move in the playing position: the casters have brakes! Finally, the front legs of your table feature jack-type feet, allowing you to adjust the height to ensure perfect flatness during your games.

How to fold and unfold your BT 500 folding table

To unfold your BT 500 table, it only takes 3 minutes: - Unscrew and remove the knobs on each side of the table. - Pull the top of the table towards you to bring it horizontal. - At the same time, remove the second leg of the table. - Screw the knobs (2 on each side) so that the legs remain stable. To fold your table, simply do the opposite. And to avoid getting the wrong side, it's easy: the angled leg remains fixed and the straight leg is retractable.

How much play space is needed to play?

To play billiards well, you need to be comfortable in your movements, and therefore have enough space. Allow an extra 5 cm in addition to your billiard cue (122 cm) around the table for your filing (swinging of the cue before the shot). In short, to be able to move comfortably around your BT500 US folding billiard table, you need a space greater than 15m2.

New to billiards? Our team gives you advice on how to get started

Contrary to popular belief, billiards is indeed a sport! And a precision sport, in this case. To feel comfortable and succeed in repeating a precise move, take the time to find a stable position. Finally, rather than relying on luck, focus on strategy and precision. In short? Visualize and prepare your shots, instead of just firing at the ball to see what happens :)

Balls or marbles? Holes or pockets? We explain a little about the vocabulary of billiards.

While you often hear about balls and holes in billiards, these aren't the exact terms for the sport! That's right! If you want to play billiards, you'll have to put balls (not balls) into pockets (not holes). And how? By shooting the white ball with a cue. Here, we're talking about a cue rather than a stick.

Who do we work with?

We work in collaboration with the French Billiards Federation. Our billiard tables are used and tested by clubs, but also in schools and colleges to develop the practice of school billiards.

A clever pool table: mobile, easy to fold, with plenty of storage space. This precise and compact pool table will delight young and old sportsmen.
