8 ft Rectangular Banquet Table Rentals
What you use when the run has to be unbroken. At 96.5 inches it is the longest surface in the catalogue, on a top that does not dip through the middle of it.

Specifications
The thickness is the reason we carry this one.
An HDPE top at a genuine 1.58 inches, ribbed in a honeycomb underneath and raised very slightly through the middle so a heavy object does not leave a dip in the span. The finish is sunproof, waterproof and anti-fading, which means it goes onto a lawn in July and comes back the same colour it left. Against that: at 96.5 inches open it will not turn a tight corner and it will not go into a small lift, so if the load-in path is narrow the shorter table is the one to order.

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.
Behind the run
A long line wants a wall behind it.
Sixteen feet of registration desk in front of a bare venue wall or an open service door undoes the setup. Pipe and drape scales the same way the tables do — bays add sideways — so the backdrop measures out in the same units as the desk in front of it.
