Finding the ideal shuffleboard table size is a crucial first step in creating your dream game room.
Space Matters:
- Measure First: Before diving in, measure your available space. Remember, you’ll need additional clearance at both ends of the table for comfortable play, typically around 3 feet per end.
- Matching Table Size to Space:
- Compact Game Rooms (9-foot tables): These space-saving tables are fantastic for smaller areas. They offer a manageable size for learning the game.
- Standard Game Rooms (12-foot tables): These versatile tables strike a great balance, offering ample playing surface without overwhelming most rooms. Ideal for both beginners and seasoned players.
- Large Game Rooms or Serious Players (14 & 16-foot tables): If you have a dedicated game room or crave professional-style gameplay, consider these larger sizes. They provide an extended playing field for strategic shots and a more challenging experience.
- Navigating Tight Spots: Consider the clearance space required for doorways, hallways, and stairways leading to your desired shuffleboard location.
Playfield Width Options:
Our tables come in two playfield widths: 16″ and 20″. This doesn’t significantly impact gameplay, but you might have a preference based on aesthetics or available space. Only a few tables are available in 16” playfield widths.

Maximizing the enjoyment of your shuffleboard game starts with selecting the appropriate wax or powder. Here’s a breakdown to help you choose:
Table Size Matters:
- 9-foot to 12-foot tables: Fast Shuffleboard Wax (or powder) is the ideal choice. It provides a solid balance between speed and control, ensuring smooth puck movement without excessive gliding.
- 14-foot to 22-foot tables: For longer tables, opt for Ultra Fast Wax (or Super Glide/Speed 2 Powders). These offer increased speed, allowing pucks to travel farther with less effort, which is beneficial on larger playing surfaces.
You’ll also need a silicone spray to hold powder in place. This can also improve the duration of the powder, and is included in your Olhausen’s Deluxe Player’s Kit with all Olhausen shuffleboard table purchases.
Always consult the wax manufacturer’s recommendations to ensure your chosen product is suitable for your specific table size.

When looking at playfields, our table pages might say “Maple 20″ wide with a 2 3/16” play surface (2” maple with 3/16” polymer)” – that means that there’s 3/16” of poured two-part epoxy on top of your maple surface. Polymer surfaces provide a consistent and smooth playing field, ensuring optimal puck glide and predictable movement. These types of surfaces are also incredibly durable, as well as being low maintenance.
