Can you put a pool table on a second floor?

Absolutely. Assuming your room is up to building code standards of course. Some of the homes that we’ve installed pool tables in upstairs have had floors that have flexed a bit. With all three pieces of slate on top of the cabinet, we’re talking about over 500 pounds of weight on a standard size pool table.

How many pounds can a second floor hold?

Can I put a gym on the second floor?

So yes, you can create a home gym on a second or upper floor but with caution and preparation. Get the total weights of the machine(s) and the weights that you will be adding to them (if you are) so that you have a number of the weight that you are adding to the space upstairs.
