Types of Trestle Tables to Hire
Our trestle table range includes several styles, each suited to different settings.

They are widely used for:

- Back of house setups

They work equally well indoors or outdoors and offer excellent value for money.

- Parties and styled events
- Venues where furniture is part of the décor
Their natural finish means they can often be used without tablecloths, helping to create a more relaxed and informal setting.

- Conferences and meetings
- Trade shows and exhibitions

Trestle Table Sizes and Linen Guide
Choosing the correct table size is important for both comfort and presentation. The table below shows typical seating capacities along with recommended linen sizes.
| Trestle Table Size | Seating Capacity | Recommended Tablecloth |
|---|---|---|
| 6ft x 2ft 6in | 6 | 70in x 108in |
| 6ft x 3ft | 6 to 8 | 70in x 108in |
| 6ft x 2ft | 6 | 70in x 108in |
| 5ft x 2ft | 4 to 6 | 70in x 108in |
| 4ft x 2ft 6in | 4 | 54in x 54in |
| 4ft x 2ft | 4 | 54in x 54in |
As a general guide, a 6ft trestle table comfortably seats six guests, while shorter tables suit smaller groups or tighter layouts.
The Right Table
Selecting the right trestle tables to hire depends on the type of event and the space available.
For dining layouts, allow enough room for guests to sit comfortably and for staff to move around easily.
For exhibitions or trade stands, table depth can be important depending on the display requirements.
For weddings and parties, the choice often comes down to whether you prefer a styled table without linen or a clean finish with tablecloths.
