How Commercial Table Skirting & Clips Work
Table skirting systems create that professional look through clever engineering. The process starts with sturdy clips that securely fasten to the table edge—these hold the pleated or box-fold fabric in perfect position. Simply attach the clips at regular intervals (usually every 30-45cm), then drape and secure the skirting fabric for that elegant cascading effect. Most clips feature simple clamp mechanisms that grip without damaging tables, while some professional systems include additional tension rods or weights to prevent movement during busy service. From start to finish, a standard 6ft table takes just 5 minutes to transform!

"Table skirting might seem like a small detail, but it’s the secret sauce to making your buffet or event setup look polished and professional. Don’t forget the clips—nothing ruins a posh look faster than a droopy tablecloth mid-service!"
Safety Guidelines
- Fire Regulations Ensure fabric meets local venue fire safety requirements.
- Trip Hazards Keep skirting 1cm above floor level—prevents guest accidents.
- Secure Fixtures Double-check all clips are tight—prevents mid-event collapse.
- Child Safety Ensure clips aren't easily removed by little hands.

- Clean Regularly Prevents allergen buildup—important for food areas.
Top Tips for Using Commercial Table Skirting & Clips
For flawless events, position clips at consistent 30-45cm intervals and stretch fabric slightly while attaching for a smooth finish. Iron skirting before each use or use a steamer for quick touch-ups. Keep a repair kit handy with spare clips and safety pins for emergency fixes. Store by hanging or loosely rolling—never fold tightly—to prevent permanent creases that can ruin the professional effect.
