Planning an event and wondering how many people a beer garden table set can accommodate? You’re in the right place! We’ll explain how many guests can comfortably sit at one set and how to calculate the space required to optimally arrange multiple beer garden table sets for larger parties.
The length of a beer bench gives a clear indication of how many guests it can seat. A classic beer garden table set with benches measuring 2.20 m in length can accommodate around 6 to 8 people in total—meaning 3 to 4 people per bench. Beer benches are also available in many other lengths, such as 2 m, 1.80 m, and 1.08 m. A beer garden table set with a 1.08 m length, for example, is the ideal space-saving solution and can still seat 2 to 4 people, or 1 to 2 per beer bench.
Here’s an overview of the number of seats per beer garden table set based on the different available bench lengths—so you can calculate your event layout more accurately.
| Bench Length | Seats per Beer Garden Table Set* | Find a matching Beer Garden Table Set |
| 2.20 m | Seats for 6–8 people | Beer garden table set for 6–8 people |
| 2.00 or 1.80 m | Seats for 4–6 people | Beer garden table set for 4–6 people |
| 1.08 m | Seats for 2–4 people | Beer garden table set for 2–4 people |
| 1.10 m | Seats for 4–6 children | Beer garden table set for 4–6 children |
* Each beer garden table set consists of 1 beer table and 2 beer benches.
If you're hosting an event soon, you may also be wondering how many beer garden table sets and guests you can fit under your folding gazebo. Here's a helpful guide.
| Number of Beer Garden Table Sets | Number of Guests | Recommended Gazebo Size |
| 1 Set | 8 people | 4 x 2 m |
| 2 Sets | 16 people | 3 x 3 m |
| 3 Sets | 24 people | 4.5 x 3 m or 4 x 4 m |
| 4 Sets | 32 people | 6 x 3 m or 6 x 4 m |
| 6 Sets | 48 people | 8 x 4 m or 5 x 5 m |
Once you’ve determined how many people can sit on a beer bench and at a beer garden table set, the next logical question is how much space each set requires—especially if you’ve invited several guests and need to arrange multiple beer garden tables. This question can’t be answered in general terms, as the space required depends on the dimensions of the beer garden table set.The following factors are key in calculating the necessary space:
When placing multiple beer garden table sets next to each other, we recommend leaving at least 50 cm of space between the long sides of adjacent sets.
A Practical Example:A beer garden table set consisting of a beer table measuring 220 × 50 cm and two benches measuring 220 × 25 cm will require roughly 220 × 200 cm of space in practice. This includes the table, benches, and the minimum required clearance along both long sides. If you’re lining up several beer garden tables in a row, you may also need to allow for walkways at the ends.
