Pool Cue Floor Rack

How tall a pool cue floor rack is depends on personal preference and also room height. Overall, you can expect the average measurement for a traditional pool cue floor rack to be approximately 32” tall.

To find the right height pool cue floor rack for your games room, you need to find the correct measurements. First measure from ceiling to floor in the room. Determine the exact midpoint. This midpoint is the height to which you want the central part of your floor rack to sit. This provides balance to the room and cue display.

Also, take into consideration that the average pool stick is approximately 57-59” in length. If you have a lower ceiling in your pool room, you’ll need to look at how much vertical space you have available. You don’t want to leave chalk marks on your ceiling or create a too tight fit. If space is limited, a vertical wall mounting cue rack may be a better option.

If you are concerned about your pool table accessories taking up too much space, a pool cue floor rack is a great solution. A floor rack takes up minimal space in your game room and is built to organize your pool cues, balls, chalk, and triangle with optimal efficiency.

Choose a floor rack with a slim, narrow design that holds your cues up off the floor by mounting to the wall, or opt for a black floor rack that functions like a mounted storage unit to hold all of your pool necessities. Another option is a triangular-shaped floor rack that tilts the pool cues towards each other, keeping them angled inwards. This model stores your triangle and chalk in the center, underneath the pool cues. Finally, choose a floor rack fitted for a corner to utilize an area of your room that is often otherwise forgotten.

The best material for a pool cue floor rack is wood. Better yet, consider a wooden base with metal racks for an even more durable piece. Solid wood, such as oak and mahogany, offers a sturdy construction and is of better value in the long run. Plus, wood pool cue floor racks come in numerous finishes and have an elegant appeal that can instantly jazz up any game room.

A less expensive alternative is plastic. Pool cue floor racks made from plastic have a lightweight yet sturdy design, are often compact and ideal for corners but aren’t the best choice for long-term use.

Thoughtfully selected pool cue racks and holders can help you to neatly arrange your cues, making the unit look like an arty game-room showpiece! If you are investing in a new unit, cue up and get on with this article. It will help you make the right choice.

Wall-mounted

Three major advantages are:

• Space-saving - since the cue holders don't use even an inch of floor space

• Affordable - since these are basic designs, they cost less than the other types

• The expensive cues are stored on the wall; hence they will not obstruct anybody's movement and get damaged accidentally

Wall-mounted cue holders are ideal for compact game rooms where floor space is scarce. Made of wood, they will match well with a wooden floor or other wooden accents in the room.

Corner Pool Cue Floor Racks

These corner racks are floor models and their main advantage is the effective use of the room corners. They are ideal for game-rooms with an odd angle or an odd layout that they can utilize effectively. You will choose these racks if your game-room is compact and you intrinsically like corner arrangements.

8-cue racks

They are 2-piece cue racks with a base that rests on the floor, while the top panel is wall-mounted. The cues are held on each side of a center panel. These designs often have space to arrange the balls and accessories on the center panel.

Or, are you a pool cue collector with many pieces to display? Go for this 8-cue holder which will help you display your collection.

Spacious game-rooms with preferably just a billiards table at the center and sitting arrangement along the walls will suit these cue holders perfectly.

Solid Square

This one is an all-square pool cue holder, a variant of the 8-cue model. It has a solid square base with short legs, an inset square pole and a square top fitted to it. The base has four grooves on the corners, and one groove each at the center of all the four sides, to hold eight cues. The top unit has matching slots where the cues rest.

This unit also comes in a rectangular shape, with three grooves on the longer sides and one groove each at the center of the shorter side, thus making it an 8-cue holder.

These cue holders have a solid macho appeal. Go for this unit if you are after a sturdy looking and dependable rack. A vinyl plank floor with wooden texture and other wooden furniture will only make this cue holder more prominent in your game-room.
