What to know locally in Gqeberha
Ask any tent firm for its wind rating and what it does when the wind picks up. Frame tents with weights or deep pegs, sides and doors are usual for beachfront and Summerstrand lawns. In KwaZakhele and Motherwell, peg and pole funeral tents go up in tight yards, so say where the water pipes run. Round tables with floor-length cloths need clips or weights in a breezy tent.
Gqeberha: the events, the weather and the hire firms
Wind is the first thing a Gqeberha tent firm asks about. The Windy City lives up to its name, so frame tents with weights, strong pegs and closed sides are booked far more than open gazebos, and light plastic chairs on an exposed lawn need watching. Funerals, unveilings and umgidi homecoming celebrations in KwaZakhele, New Brighton, Motherwell and Zwide keep plastic chairs and tents moving every weekend. Summerstrand and the beachfront host weddings, corporate days and sports events, and the university campus adds graduations. Hire firms work from industrial areas such as Korsten, Sidwell, Struandale and Markman, and serve Kariega and Despatch too. Summer is the busy season, with the festive weekends booked out early.
Typical marquee and frame tent hire requests in the area come from:

- Companies, conferences and functions: a marquee in a car park for a launch, an expo or a staff year-end function
