Shuffleboard Tables by Size | McClure Tables

McClure Tables offers shuffleboard tables in standard lengths of 9, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, and 22 feet. We also build custom sizes on request to fit unique spaces. Choosing the right size depends on your available room length, playing preferences, and skill level.

As a general rule, select the largest table your room can comfortably accommodate. Plan for approximately 2-3 feet of standing space at each end of the table. For example, a 12-foot table requires a room roughly 16-18 feet long, while a 22-foot table needs approximately 26-28 feet.

Shorter tables (9-12 feet) work well for apartments, basements, and smaller game rooms. They're perfect for casual family play and learning the game. Mid-size tables (14-16 feet) provide excellent playability for most home spaces and offer a good balance between gameplay and room requirements. Furthermore, tournament-size tables (18-22 feet) deliver championship-level gameplay for serious players and commercial settings.

The 12-foot and 14-foot sizes are most popular for home game rooms. They fit comfortably in typical basement or bonus room spaces. Enthusiasts often step up to 16, 18, 20, or regulation 22-foot tables for more challenging play and authentic tournament experience.

Longer tables require more materials and labor, which affects pricing. However, every size receives the same dedication to quality and craftsmanship. All tables feature hand-finished hard rock maple playing surfaces sealed with our traditional multi-step finish that carries a lifetime warranty.

For tight access points like narrow stairwells or hallways, we offer optional two-piece playboards and sectional cabinets. This allows even our longest tables to navigate challenging delivery paths. Additionally, professional white-glove delivery and setup services are available for all sizes.

Consider your room's climate control when selecting a size. Consistent humidity (35-45% RH) helps any table play true. Longer tables benefit especially from stable conditions and should be checked for level seasonally.

Understanding Shuffleboard Table Dimensions

Shuffleboard tables vary significantly in size. They typically range from 9 feet to 22 feet in length. These dimensions cater to different needs and spaces.

The table's width is usually about 20 inches, with the playing surface slightly narrower. This ensures the game remains challenging yet enjoyable.

When considering a shuffleboard table, remember the importance of adequate space. You need at least 2 feet of clearance on all sides for comfortable play.

Here is a quick rundown of the essential shuffleboard dimensions:

Length: 9 to 22 feet
Width: Around 20 inches
Playing surface width: 18 to 20 inches

Larger tables offer a more authentic experience, but smaller ones can fit better in limited spaces. Each size has its perks, depending on your needs.

Proper table alignment is crucial. Make sure to install your shuffleboard on a level surface to avoid uneven play. This understanding of dimensions will guide you in making a wise purchase, balancing both functionality and space.

While all shuffleboard tables benefit from consistent humidity, longer tables show changes sooner. Keeping your room between 35–45% humidity helps maintain ideal crown and prevents seasonal movement in any size table.

Most premium tables—regardless of length—use a 3-inch solid maple playfield. This uniform thickness ensures the same puck feel and drift behavior whether you choose 9 feet or 22 feet.

Longer tables actually reduce puck noise because the puck travels farther and slows gradually. Shorter tables produce more abrupt impacts at the scoring end, creating slightly sharper sound.

Sizes 9–14 feet are easiest because the one‑piece playboard is manageable through most doorways. Larger sizes (16–22 feet) can be relocated too, but are far easier if ordered as optional two‑piece playboards.
