Chair Covers and Sashes in Durban
Need chair covers in Durban? Say how many chairs, which chair they are for (plastic armless, plastic with arms or banquet), stretch or loose, the cover and sash colours, and whether you want them fitted. Linen and event hire firms in KwaZulu-Natal can then quote covers, sashes and delivery together.
The main chair covers and sashes page explains the options, sizes and costs in more detail.
Special seating & dressing in Durban: local notes
Throne chairs and a decorated couple's stage are part of most Indian wedding bookings in Phoenix and Chatsworth, often with sashes in the family's colours. Umembeso and lobola days in Umlazi call for wingback chairs for the elders and rows of covered chairs. Conference seating goes to hotels and office parks around Umhlanga Ridge and La Lucia, and wheelchair hire is common for visitors staying near the beachfront. Book cocktail tables early for the festive season.
Durban: the events, the weather and the hire firms
Few cities book chairs for as many reasons on one Saturday. Hindu weddings in Chatsworth and Phoenix can run over several days and want tents, Tiffany chairs, a stage for the couple and plenty of tables; funerals and unveilings in Umlazi and KwaMashu need a tent and plastic chairs in the yard by Friday; and corporate functions in Umhlanga want cocktail tables and lounge sets. Most hire firms work from industrial areas such as Prospecton, Jacobs, Springfield and Riverhorse Valley and send trucks across the metro. Summer brings humid heat and sudden downpours, so ask for tent sides and flooring, and mention steep Berea or Westville driveways when you describe access.
The requests we see from Durban usually come from:
- Funerals, memorials and unveilings: plain white or black covers on plastic chairs for the service in the tent
- Churches and faith gatherings: church anniversaries, ordinations and conferences where the hall chairs are dressed
- Families and home celebrations: a 21st, a 50th or a lobola lunch where plastic chairs need dressing up
Local tips for Durban
Most hired in Durban: funeral tents and plastic chairs, wedding marquees and Tiffany chairs. Where the hire firms are: prospecton, Jacobs, Springfield, Riverhorse Valley and the townships. A useful tip: ask for tent sides and flooring in summer, and say if the yard is on a slope.
Bookings range widely: from 20 to 500 covers a booking. Here, funerals, memorials and unveilings lead the requests, typically for plain white or black covers on plastic chairs for the service in the tent. One local point to raise: trucks from metro yards; outlying townships and the north coast may cost more.
