Measuring Guide
Before ordering your desired PVC or Oilcloth Tablecloth you must firstly know the dimensions of your table. This section will talk you through how to measure both round and square/rectangle table.
All of our PVC Vinyl measures 140cm (55") and our Oilcloth Tablecloth measure approximately 132-134cm in width.
We have a range of Acrylic Fabric that is 139cm and 180cm wide.
Alternatively if you require something larger we regularly make extra-wide tablecloths to order. We do this by sewing two widths together. The cloth is professionally sewn by our in-house seamstress and professionally pattern matched. Please get in touch if you would like a quote for this service or alternatively choose your size from the drop-down size menu on your chosen product.
With all our cloths there is normally a tolerance of+/-0.5 to 1cm when cutting so please bear this in mind. If measured correctly this will only be 0.25cm over both sides. If you are wanting the cloth to sit directly on the top with no overhang please do advise this in the order comments and the exact dimensions you need.
INSTRUCTIONS
Round Table
Measuring the tablecloth for your round table couldn’t be easier. To measure the diameter of your table simply measure from the centre from end to end. Once you have this figure you then need to choose your desired overhang. The general rule is to allow for 40-50cm (16”-20”) overhang but this can be down to personal preference. Add both these figures together and you have the diameter you require.
Square or Rectangle Table
Measuring a square or rectangle table for your PVC or Oilcloth Tablecloth will take you about two minutes to do. Firstly measure the width of your table from edge to edge. Allow 40-50cm (16’ to 20”) overhang (20-25cm each side), you can have longer but this is down to preference and also the maximum width of the tablecloth (approx 135cm”). For example, if you are a family with young children you might want a shorter overhang or if you have a more traditional styled home you may want a longer drop.
To measure the length just repeat the process as you did for measuring the width. Again allow for a 40-50cm overhang (20-25cm each side).
Oval Table
Measuring an oval tablecloth is just like measuring a square or rectangle table. Simply measure the widest part on the width and the widest part on the length as shown on the diagram above. Don't forget to add on extra for the overhang.
CUSTOM SIZES

For example....your table is 82cm (width) x 156cm (length) you will need 122cm x 196cm this allows for a standard 20cm overhang all around the tablecloth. If ordering an Oilcloth you would order the 132cm x 200cm then at the checkout there is an ORDER COMMENTS box (Pictured Below).

*MEASURING GUIDE* When ordering measure the table length and table width then add 32cm to give you a 15cm overhang. EXAMPLE if your table measures 100cm x 150cm. You would need a size 132cm x 182cm. Simply order the 132cm x 190cm and at the checkout leave a note in the Order Comments advising you need it 132cm x 182cm and also your table size so we can confirm correct sizing.
ELASTICATED EDGES FOR ROUND TABLES
Elasticated edges are perfect for people that don't want any overhang on their table and don't want any movement on their table. Perhaps this is for outdoor tables or for an indoor round table. *MEASURING GUIDE* When measuring for an elasticated edges tablecloth, you need to measure the tabletop then add the thickness of the tabletop and then you add on 5cm for the underside of the table. EXAMPLE-Your tabletop measures 90cm the thickness of your tabletop is 3cm we add 90cm to 3cm & 3cm (both sides of the table) we then add 10cm for the underhang. In total you would need a cloth 106cm Diameter. You would need to order 110cm diameter and at the checkout leave a note in the Order Comments advising you need it 106cm Diameter and also your table size so we can confirm correct sizing.
