Shuffleboard Dimensions: What shuffleboard table size should I get? 6 steps to follow.

Shuffleboard Expert’s Advice

The size of your shuffleboard can impact the look of your space and even the amount of revenue that’s made in a professional venue. Small boards match smaller venues and are easier for entry-level players. Big boards make a big visual impact and can host more people, which can generate more revenue per square meter. Discover everything you need to know to choose the right shuffleboard for your space.

1. Professional regulation shuffleboard table

When considering professional shuffleboard table measurements, keep in mind the standard shuffleboard size required by the regulations:

  • 9 feet/275 cm, this board is smaller than most American shuffleboards. It’s compact, convenient, and perfect for small venues.
  • 12 feet/365 cm, is recommended when the room is too small for a standard 14 feet shuffleboard. Most Shuffly shuffleboards can be made in this size. See our LED Shuffleboard for an attention-grabbing feature, or our Electric & Supercharged Shuffleboard for a high-tech interactive gaming experience.
  • 14 feet/425 cm, the ideal balance between an enjoyable length, efficient use of space, and cost. The standard length of most Shuffly shuffleboards, and for good reason! See our DreamX Shuffleboard.
  • 16 feet/487 cm, right in between medium and large. Any sizes above 16 feet feel similar to professional boards. See our Old Oak Shuffleboard to add a nostalgic atmosphere to the room.
  • 18 feet/550 cm, big and impressive, a statement in your venue! All shuffleboards can be made this size when smaller boards don’t fill up a big space. A great size for our Shuffleboard Bar, which has integrated bars that accommodate groups of up to 20 people to enjoy drinks at a single shuffleboard!
  • 22 feet/670 cm, this size is the official length for professional shuffleboard tournaments. 

2. The Right Home Shuffleboard Sizes

  • 9 feet/275 cm, our smallest shuffleboard. The best option for a small home entertainment zone. See our Buffalo Shuffleboard.
  • 12 feet/365 cm, the right fit for a small to medium sized space, such as a game room or a basement. This size is available in most Shuffly shuffleboards.
  • 14 feet/425 cm, great for medium-sized entertainment spaces at home. This is Shuffly’s standard size. See our Original Shuffleboard.
  • 16 feet/487 cm, for a professional feel at a smaller size. Most boards can come in 16 ft, such as our Steel DreamX Shuffleboard.
  • 18 feet/550 cm, large and perfect for big entertainment spaces, outdoor patios or backyards.
  • 22 feet/670 cm, for when you want to host a professional shuffleboard tournament at home.

3.  Consider Your Game Room Size

The size of your room is fundamental when choosing the right shuffleboard.

  • Tip 1: Measure the area where you will place the shuffleboard and go for a board that fits in the space. Consider the space requirements for shuffleboard table placement.
  • Tip 2: Make sure to leave about 3 feet/90 cm around the table so players can walk around comfortably and have enough room to take their turn on the board.
  • Tip 3: Don’t forget: a shuffleboard needs to fit through the door of your room. Shuffly delivers professional shuffleboard, disassembles and assembles them at the venue.
