    I’m looking for a fairly decent standard (pub standard) pool table 6x3.

    Where would be the best place in Dublin or around Leinster to buy?

    I’d also consider something second hand ... any suggestions on where to look would be much appreciated.

    Adverts.ie or donedeal. Depends on your budget though. A standard new pub pool table could cost you well over a grand.

    How did you get on? I'm looking to buy a new table, looks like getting it delivered from the North will work out a lot cheaper than sellers in ROI.

    I bought an 8 x 4 slate bed Riley from a crowd called Kane Auctions off Kill Avenue in Dun Laoghaire for €950. They had a 12ft x 6ft Table as well (with everything) but I don't have a room to fit it in. If only! :-( They were looking for €1550 for the big one.

    I'd love a garden table that turns into a pool table.

    An outdoor version of this

    I'm just wondering how much it would cost to disassemble a pool table, or indeed would I be better off selling it entirely?

    It's around three-quarters the size of a normal snooker table, with removable pockets as opposed to a chute system (like you see in pubs). Got regular use up to a few years ago, but now the room it is in is getting renovated into a living room and it takes up far too much space.

    Don't know whether I want to disassemble it and put in storage, or sell it and use some of the profit to fund the DIY. I am completely clueless when it comes to it though, and all advice would be appreciated.
