Specifications

The thickness is the reason we carry this one.

An HDPE top at a genuine 1.58 inches, ribbed underneath and raised very slightly through the middle so a heavy object leaves no dip. The finish is sunproof, waterproof and anti-fading. Against that: at 96.5 inches open it will not turn a tight corner or go into a small lift.

Where the length pays

Six runs built out of this table.

  • Accreditation lines

    Staffed positions along one continuous surface, with no seam in the middle of a queue.

  • Buffet and carving stations

    Hot, cold, carving and dessert in one run without a break in the linen. The 350 lb capacity and the ribbed underside are what hold a full chafing setup flat across the span.

  • Outdoor catering

    On grass, on gravel, in full sun for a day. Its top is the one banquet surface we publish as sunproof, waterproof and anti-fading, which is usually what decides it over the 6 ft.

  • Trade-show booths

    A full-width counter across the front of a 10-foot stand or a work surface down the side of a larger one. Folds to 48.5 inches for the move-in window.

  • Silent auction runs

    Lots laid out in a line with bid sheets beside them, read by people walking past. Fewer joints means fewer places for a sheet to catch and lift.

  • Merchandise walls

    Stock across the top, boxes underneath, one continuous line of product. A 90 × 156 cloth takes it to the floor and hides everything below the surface.

Covering the run

A long line has to match itself.

Six tables end to end under six cloths that are nearly the same is worse than no cloth at all. The 8 ft spandex is cut to this table, hooks at each leg and stays where it was put while guests lean on the front edge of it all evening. Black or white. If you are supplying linen instead, 90 × 156 inches is the drop.
