Come on over and lets play
Old fashioned games of chance and 20th century electronic both have a place in today recreation rooms. But that place requires careful planning –after all pool tables can weigh up a ton and video tape equipment is large.
For pool you must allow 4-5 feet of cuing room around the table. A pendant light or down-lights are excellent choices to light the table. You’ll probably want to install a cue rack and score keeping device. Seating for spectators is another consideration.
For video tape machine, you’ll need sufficient space for the oversized screen, and a place to position the projector and cassette.
For any type of recreations room, casual, comfortable furnishings and light hearted décor help to create a playful atmosphere.
