Custom Made Oval Table Cover

UV & Waterproof 200gsm solution-dyed polyester
Made to Measure Cut to your exact dimensions
Made in 3 Weeks Express options available
Australia-Wide Delivery Tracked courier to every state

Protect your oval outdoor dining table with a cover cut to match your exact dimensions.

Each cover is made from 200gsm solution-dyed polyester with a waterproof underside, so rain sheds cleanly instead of pooling.

Off-the-shelf rectangular covers leave excess fabric bunching at the curved ends of an oval table, which traps moisture and looks untidy.

A custom-made cover accounts for the bounding footprint of your oval and wraps neatly around the curves without excess.

Measuring guidelines

  • Measure length at the longest point of the oval, tip to tip, along the top edge.
  • Measure width at the widest point of the oval, across the middle of the table.
  • Height is taken from the floor to the tabletop surface, not to the top of chairs.
  • Do not add extra centimetres for ease — this is built into the production pattern.

Cover features

  • A clean, fabric-style outer face that suits a furnished outdoor space rather than the tarpaulin look you get from budget covers.
  • Six webbing tie-down points spaced around the base so the cover stays put when the wind picks up.
  • For furniture without legs to anchor to, an elastic perimeter can be sewn around the bottom edge instead. Just request this when placing your order.
  • A polyurethane waterproof layer bonded to the underside that holds up under UV exposure without flaking or breaking down.
  • Double-folded, twice-stitched seams that hide the raw edge of the fabric and keep stitch lines protected from water ingress.
  • No PVC anywhere in the construction, which means no cracking or splitting along the fold lines after a season or two of sun.
  • Solution-dyed polyester face fabric. Colour runs all the way through every fibre, so fading is dramatically reduced under harsh Australian sun.
  • A drawstring carry bag is included for storing the cover when guests are over or during the warmer months.
  • Light enough that one person can fit and remove it without help.
  • Backed by a warranty against premature fading and loss of waterproofing.
Please review your measurements carefully before submitting. Each cover is cut to the dimensions you provide, so we are unable to offer change-of-mind returns or cancel an order once production has begun.

Built to fit, not adapted to suit

An oval table has a shape that no rectangular cover can match properly. The cover will either pool at the curved ends or pull too tight across the middle. A made-to-measure oval cover is cut to the bounding rectangle of your table with a pattern that accounts for the curved profile, so the fit is clean and weather-tight.

One material, one quality, one price tier

Every cover we make uses the same 200gsm solution-dyed polyester, the same waterproof underside, and the same seam construction. You are not choosing between budget and premium. There is one material, one quality level, and pricing based entirely on size.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about ordering a custom oval table cover.

Why do you measure an oval table as a rectangle?

We measure the longest and widest points to establish the bounding footprint of your oval. The production pattern is then shaped to follow the oval profile within that footprint. Measuring the rectangle gives us the dimensions we need to cut the fabric accurately.

Is the cover cut to follow the oval shape, or is it just a rectangle?

The cover follows the oval shape. We use your length and width to construct the oval pattern. It will wrap around the curved ends of your table rather than draping as a flat rectangle.

What is the difference between an oval and an ellipse when measuring?

For our purposes, there is none. Whether you describe your table as oval or elliptical, we are capturing the same two measurements — longest point and widest point — and building the cover to fit.

Should I measure height with or without chairs?

Measure height from the floor to the tabletop only, not to the seat or back of any chairs. The cover is for the table. If you want to cover the chairs as well, you would need separate chair covers.

Can I get an umbrella hole added to the cover?

Yes. Note in your order comments that you need an umbrella hole and the approximate diameter of your umbrella pole. We will add a reinforced opening with a closure flap so the cover stays weatherproof when the umbrella is in place.

The Complete Guide

Custom Made Oval Table Covers — The Australian Owner's Complete Guide

7 min read Updated 2025 Custom Cover Company

Oval outdoor dining tables are a popular choice in Australian backyards and alfresco areas. The shape encourages conversation, seats guests without sharp corners, and looks great with the right outdoor setting. The problem comes when you try to find a cover that actually fits one.

Why rectangular covers do not work on oval tables

Most outdoor furniture covers on the market are designed for rectangular tables. They come in standard widths — 90 cm, 100 cm, sometimes 120 cm — and they sit fine on a rectangular tabletop. On an oval table, those same covers either gap badly at the curved ends or bunch up along the sides where the fabric has nowhere to go. The excess folds trap water and debris, and after a season or two you end up with mildew on the underside and staining on the tabletop.

A custom-made oval table cover solves this by being cut to follow the shape of your table. We build the pattern from your length and width measurements, shape the panels to follow the oval profile, and produce a cover that sits flat on the tabletop and drapes cleanly down the sides.

The three measurements you need

Measuring an oval table correctly takes a few minutes and a tape measure. Three dimensions are all we need.

Length

Length is the longest measurement of your oval, taken tip to tip across the top surface. Run your tape from the outermost edge at one end to the outermost edge at the other, keeping it level with the tabletop. Do not measure along the side or the apron underneath.

Width

Width is the widest point of the oval, measured across the middle of the table at a right angle to your length measurement. Most oval tables have a width that is noticeably shorter than the length. If your table is nearly as wide as it is long, it may be closer to a round table, in which case a round table cover would be more appropriate.

Height

Height is the distance from the floor to the surface of the tabletop. Measure straight down from the edge of the tabletop to the ground. This measurement determines how far the cover drapes down the side of the table. Do not measure to the top of chair seats or backs — the cover is for the table itself.

Do not add any extra centimetres to any of these measurements. The production pattern includes the correct ease for the cover to go on and come off smoothly.

How the oval pattern is made

When you submit your length and width, we construct an oval profile that fits within those dimensions. The panels are cut to follow the curve at each end, then sewn together with the same reinforced seam construction we use across all our covers. The finished cover drapes over the curved ends without pulling tight or leaving excess fabric. It is a different job to cutting a rectangular cover, which is why the pricing reflects a small complexity factor for oval shapes.

Material and construction

Every cover we make uses 200gsm solution-dyed polyester with a polyurethane waterproof coating bonded to the underside. Solution-dyed means the colour goes through the fibre, not onto it — the fabric resists fading far better than conventionally dyed materials, and even when it does fade over many years, it does so evenly.

The waterproof coating keeps rain out without making the cover stiff or prone to cracking in the cold. PU coatings stay flexible through temperature changes, which matters in climates that go from hot summers to cold winters. The coating does not crack along fold lines the way older PVC-based coatings tend to do.

All seams are reinforced, and any hem or edge that faces the weather is double-stitched. The hem at the base of the cover has enough weight to stay in place in a breeze without needing ties or straps, though heavier winds may require you to tuck the cover or use furniture weights.

Caring for your cover

Rinse with a garden hose every couple of months to clear off pollen, dust, and salt spray. Spot-clean with mild soapy water and a soft cloth. Do not put the cover in a washing machine — the agitation will break down the waterproof coating in a single cycle. When storing the cover for summer or between seasons, fold it loosely rather than tightly, as repeated pressure along the same fold lines can eventually wear the coating.
