The 10 Best Pool Table Covers

The robust materials used to make the Iszy Billiards Heavy Duty (about $26) will certainly protect a table from accidents, but unlike many tough models, it won't put a huge dent in your pocketbook. And because the backing is cotton, you don't have to worry about inadvertent damage.

For the price, you'd be hard-pressed to find a leatherette option that's as durable as the Boshen Fitted (appx. $36), which is even more of a bargain when you consider that it's got handy weighted corners. It comes in black or brown, so it should suit plenty of decorative schemes.

Although the Pro Series TC Premier (around $69) isn't an inexpensive choice, the thoughtful touches it offers make up for the price. These include reinforced corners that prevent frayed stitching, as well as a nylon backing that won't shed all over the place.

Each Nesports Waterproof (about $18) is crafted from 4-millimeter-thick vinyl, which should be just enough to keep light spills away from the felt. Plus, it's not all that heavy, so you won't struggle to lift it and spread it out by yourself.

Get ready to show off your man-cave with the Imperial Officially Licensed NFL Naugahyde (about $80). With a centrally placed screenprinted logo, it is eye-catching no matter which team you root for, as well as useful, since it's fitted to provide adequate peace of mind.

If you enjoy shooting pool with a particularly smooth Tennessee whiskey in your hand, then you might appreciate the Jack Daniel's Vinyl (around $37). It's emblazoned with the world-famous Old No. 7 mark, placed on a plain black background that will look great in just about any room.

Sometimes it's not just the surface you're worried about, but the sides, especially if you have children or dogs who are prone to bumping into things. In these cases, the Imperial Billiard Cover (around $48) is a worthy choice, providing ample protection for the aprons.

Worried about finding a model with the right measurements? You don't have to with the Viper by GLD Products One Size Fits All (about $14). Featuring a universal design, it slips over both larger and smaller tables and is priced attractively, to boot.

Whether you're a biker or just a fan of the iconic company, the Harley-Davidson Vinyl (around $35) would be a handsome addition to any rec room. And although it's not made to guard against extreme wetness or sharp claws, it will keep annoying dust and crumbs at bay.

Safeguarding your investment becomes trickier when your table is on your deck or patio, but the East Eagle Outdoor (about $110) does a fine job of helping you do just that. Instead of covering only the sides, this option goes all the way to the floor for extra security.
