Table Cloths

When they say it's for a 12 seater on a rectangle table, are they counting the chairs at the ends?

How about round ones? Is there a standard with chair? (ie my outdoor table is chunky teak, so the chairs are wider than a regular kitchen chair, and they have arm rests too)

If you look at the packaging, there is usually a pic of the table with plate shapes in the required number.

I have one of those teak outdoor settings. I use wet and dry sandpaper with boiled linseed oil/turps mix and I have heard of people using Aqua Deck.  

In the past, and depending on the occasion, I have used  bed sheets, a length of burlap, length of artists canvas, vinyl backed curtain fabric with a choice of pattern/colour.

I used to use a big double white flat bedsheet for our family Christmas dinner table.

We put a board over our pool table and covered it with the sheet it was perfect

Yes, a rectangle table is counting the chairs on the ends(top and bottom).

Thanks folks!

Never bought a tablecloth before, just been using ones we must have aquired as wedding gifts etc when we needed one.

This is all new!
