Learn about table skirts and table skirting clips.

How to completely skirt a table, how to determine table skirt size, table skirt style and how to determine table skirt clip size needed. Finally we will discuss how to set up your table skirts.

First, you will need to know what size your table is and what you wish to accomplish

Do you want to cover only three sides of the table or do you want to completely skirt the table. There are three standard table skirt lengths, 14′ long, 17′ or 21′.  All standard sizes come in the industry standard 29″ height since standard tables are 30″ tall and you do not want the table skirt on the floor.

Custom height table skirts, bar skirts, DJ booth tables, stage skirting and other heights are available for tables that are not the standard 30″ tall.  Visit our website for the custom height table skirts.

14′ Table skirt will skirt 4 sides of a 4′ banquet table, a 48″ round table or 3 sides of a 6′ or 8′ banquet table.

17′ Table skirts will completely skirt a 60″ or 66″ round table or a 6′ banquet table.  It will skirt 3 sides of two 6′ banquet tables that are  together.

21′ Table skirt will completely skirt a 72″ round table, an 8′ banquet table or 3 sides of two 8′ banquet tables that are together.

Table skirt pleating

There are two styles of table skirts.  Shirred pleated or box pleat.

Shirred pleat, also know as the gathered pleat creates the ruffled pleat look and is by far the best selling pleat and gives a very professional look.

Table skirts and web back table skirt

Almost of our table skirts come with Velcro double sewn along the entire top of the table skirt on the back side of the table skirt for easy attachment to tables using Velcro table skirting clips.  The only exception are the Poly Sateen table skirts which are reinforced with web backing and intended to be stapled on to table.

Table Toppers

Table Topper

Table skirts drape the border of your table. The table toppers is what covers the top of the table. Table toppers have finished edges and are not pleated. Universal 40″ wide x 108″ long table toppers will fit standard 6 foot and 8 foot banquet tables and a 40″ x 90″ will fit 4 foot tables. Any excess material on shorter tables simply goes under the table skirt and is hidden from view. Our table toppers (of the same material as the skirts) will match your skirting to complete the look of your table. Most customers select matching table toppers, same color as the table skirt. Some select a different color table topper and I have seen some beautiful display tables with one color table skirt and a contrasting color table topper. For more table toppers, click the link.
