The 6ft Timber Trestle Table provides a flexible surface for seated meals, buffets, cakes, gifts and event equipment. Its strong metal frame supports a timber tabletop, creating a practical furniture choice for marquees, halls and suitable indoor or covered outdoor events in Drogheda, County Louth and East Meath.
The table comfortably accommodates six to eight people. A six-person arrangement places three chairs along each side, leaving both ends clear. To seat eight, add one chair at either end.
Although eight seats can fit, the most appropriate arrangement depends on the event. Six seats provide more elbow room and leave the ends available for serving dishes or decorations. Eight seats make fuller use of the table when capacity is the priority.
Not every trestle table needs to be allocated to guest seating. Its rectangular surface can perform several roles during the same event, particularly when an organiser needs to create a clear division between dining and service areas.
It can be used for:
Tables used for food service should not narrow marquee entrances or busy walkways. Allow room for guests to approach, select food and move away without forming a queue beside seated diners.
Trestle tables can be arranged in individual rows, joined end to end or used around the perimeter of a marquee. The best layout depends on the structure’s dimensions, number of guests and whether space must also be retained for entertainment, catering or presentations.
For a family-style arrangement, several tables can be joined into longer rows. Individual tables may be more practical when smaller groups need defined seating. A U-shaped layout can leave an open central area, although sufficient space must remain behind occupied chairs.
SuperBounce supplies structures ranging from the 10ft x 10ft Gazebo to larger options such as the 20ft x 20ft Marquee Full Package and 20ft x 30ft Marquee Full Package. Further sizes can be compared within the marquee and gazebo range.
The White Folding Chair provides practical seating for birthdays, communions, confirmations and informal functions. For weddings or more formal dining arrangements, the Chiavari Chair offers a different appearance.
Chair quantities should be based on the final seating plan rather than the maximum theoretical table capacity. Remember to include places for organisers, suppliers or family members who may not appear on the initial guest list.
When setting out several tables, leave sufficient space for chairs to be pulled back without obstructing the route behind them. Emergency exits, catering access and routes to toilets must remain clear.
The timber surface can be used as supplied or covered with the 6ft Trestle Table Linen Tablecloth. Linen can create a more coordinated finish for weddings, communions, corporate hospitality and formal family occasions.
Ask about the number of tablecloths required when booking. A cloth may be useful on dining and display tables, while working tables used by caterers or organisers may not need the same finish.
Additional furniture and finishing items are available within our party extras range.
A trestle table can support cups, napkins and serving supplies near a refreshment station, although the hired machine itself should be operated according to its individual setup instructions.
Available options include the 8oz Popcorn Machine, Single Barrel Slush Machine and Twin Barrel Slush Machine. The fun food machine selection contains further choices for birthdays, weddings, communions and company events.
Position the serving table far enough from inflatable entrances to prevent food and drinks entering the play area. The layout should also allow the person operating the machine to work without being surrounded by the queue.
Six-foot trestle tables can be supplied to suitable events in Drogheda, Dundalk, Ardee, Bettystown, Laytown, Stamullen, Balbriggan and other regular SuperBounce delivery locations.
Local service information is available for event hire in Drogheda, table and equipment hire in County Louth and event deliveries in East Meath. Customers can also consult the full delivery guide for additional towns and villages.
Divide the number of seated guests by six for a roomier arrangement or by eight when using both ends of every table. Then add any separate tables required for food, cake, gifts, drinks or event materials.
For example, 40 guests could require five tables at eight people per table. If the layout uses six seats per table, seven tables would provide 42 places. Neither arrangement includes buffet, cake or service tables, which should be calculated separately.
This item is booked directly by telephone. Call 086 27 28 333 with the event date, delivery address, number of tables required and preferred seating capacity.
Please also confirm whether linen tablecloths, chairs, marquees or food machines are needed. Providing the expected guest number and event type will help SuperBounce discuss a practical furniture combination for the available space.
