Bunnings Tablecloth Size Guide

Folding trestle tables are commonly used for weddings, parties, schools, markets, clubs, community halls, buffets and event setups. They are often sold under brands such as Lifetime, Marquee and other blow mould table manufacturers.

This guide explains common folding table sizes and helps you choose a suitable tablecloth for 4ft, 5ft, 6ft and 8ft trestle tables, including tables commonly purchased from Bunnings and similar retailers.

Common Folding & Trestle Table Sizes

Folding tables are sold in several brands and sizes, and dimensions can vary between products. Use this as a general guide only and measure your own table before ordering linen.

Folding Tablecloth Size Recommendations

The best tablecloth size depends on whether you want a casual drop, standard event drop, or a full floor-length look.

What Size Tablecloth Fits A 4ft Folding Table?

A 4ft folding table is usually approximately 122cm long. A 178cm x 275cm rectangle tablecloth can provide generous coverage, while a fitted 4ft trestle cover gives a neat, tailored look.

For cake tables, signing tables, wishing wells and smaller event displays, fitted covers are often the easiest option because they stay neatly in place.

What Size Tablecloth Fits A 5ft Folding Table?

A 5ft folding table is usually around 150-152cm long. A 178cm x 305cm rectangle cloth provides a practical event drop, while a 250cm x 305cm tablecloth creates a more generous drop.

If the table is being used for a display, buffet, gift table or market setup, consider how much of the table legs you want covered before choosing the cloth size.

What Size Tablecloth Fits A 6ft Folding Table?

A 6ft trestle table is commonly around 180-183cm long x 76cm wide. A 250cm x 305cm rectangle tablecloth is a popular choice because it provides generous coverage on the width and length.

For a neater commercial look, a fitted 6ft trestle cover may be better, especially for school events, markets, trade displays and repeated venue use.

What Size Tablecloth Fits A 180cm Trestle Table?

A 180cm trestle table is one of the most common event table sizes used throughout Australia for weddings, community events, school functions, venues and market stalls.

For a standard event drop, many customers choose a 250cm x 305cm rectangle tablecloth. This size provides generous coverage across the width of the table while creating an attractive drop down the sides.

If you require a fitted appearance, a 6ft fitted trestle cover is often the simplest option. Fitted covers are popular for trade displays, venues, conferences, schools and events where a neat, professional finish is preferred.

What Size Tablecloth Fits An 8ft Folding Table?

An 8ft folding table is commonly around 244cm long x 76cm wide. A 250cm x 345cm rectangle tablecloth is generally better suited to this longer table size than a standard 305cm long cloth.

If you need a full professional finish, a fitted 8ft trestle cover is often the easiest option because it is designed to suit the table length and stay neatly in place.

Should I Choose A Loose Tablecloth Or A Fitted Trestle Cover?

Loose rectangle tablecloths create a softer event look and are suitable for weddings, parties, buffets and table styling. Fitted trestle covers create a cleaner, more tailored appearance and are useful for displays, trade stalls, schools, venues and events where the table needs to stay tidy.

What About Table Skirting Clips?

If you are using table skirting instead of a tablecloth, you will need to measure the thickness of the tabletop edge before choosing skirting clips. Table thickness can vary between brands and styles.
