Common Misconceptions About Stretch Table Covers

Posted by Nicole Thompson - Owner, Paws 2 Purrfection, LLC on 24th Jun 2013

Ever think, "I'll get a stretch table cover! That will fit any table!"? You may want to check this out before you buy…

One of the most common misconceptions for stretch table covers is that they are 'One Size, Fits All'

This is most definitely NOT the case! In fact, it's quite the opposite.

Make Sure Your Tablecloth "Measures" Up…
Stretch table covers or spandex contour tablecloths are completely tailored to fit the exact size table for which they are intended. If your table is larger or smaller, taller, shorter, wider, longer or the table legs don't fall where they were measured, your tablecloth could either sag or may not be able to fit over your table at all! When you are ordering a spandex tablecloth or even an economy stretch table cover, check to make sure that the company from which you're ordering, requests table measurements from you, including the leg dimensions. If they have standard sizes available for purchase, just be sure to read the suggested table dimensions, before making your purchase. That way you can make sure you have measured your table PRIOR to paying for an item that, if ordered incorrectly, you won't be able to use.

Now, don't get me wrong. You can certainly order the standard size stretch table covers. You will just need to be sure that your table dimensions match the measurements of the stretch table cover you are ready to order.

What Measurements Do You Need for Ordering a Spandex Table Cover?

The key measurements you will need are as follows:

  • Table Length
  • Table Width
  • Table Height: If you have an adjustable height table, indicate the height at which you will most likely be using the table. Once the tablecloth has been made for a certain height table, it will not fit the table's other height adjustments.
  • Leg Dimensions: Measure from foot to foot on both the long side of the table and the short side of the table. Your stretch table cover company will need both dimensions.

Below is a sample of our spandex tablecloth measurement form that we offer on our website.

Just go in to the purchase fully informed and ready with your table's measurements. In many ways they are super versatile! Since they are super custom created to fit your table, even odd size tables can be accommodated and stretch table covers are terrific for outdoor events! Since the tablecloth attaches to the feet of the table, it holds tight even when the wind blows.
