Pretoria notes on tables, tents & party hire
Imbizos at community halls and sports grounds in Mamelodi, Soshanguve and Hammanskraal usually need a frame marquee with a stage, rows of chairs and trestle tables for officials. Stretch tents are popular for garden weddings and 21sts in Garsfontein, Faerie Glen and Moreleta Park. Funeral tents go up in the yard from Friday. Campus lawns in Hatfield take marquees for graduation lunches, so ask the university about pegging and access before you confirm the tent.
Chairs, tables and tents in Pretoria
Government functions shape the hire calendar in Pretoria. National and provincial departments, the metro and the embassies book marquees, conference chairs and draped tables for imbizos, launches and commemorations, usually through a written quote request with a closing date and an order number. Graduation weeks at the University of Pretoria and Tshwane University of Technology add tents and chair rows on campus, and church bazaars and school fêtes fill the eastern suburbs. Funerals in Mamelodi, Atteridgeville and Soshanguve keep township tent firms busy on Fridays and Saturdays. Many larger hire firms run from Silverton, Pretoria West and Rosslyn. Summer storms build fast over the ridges in the afternoon, so ask for sides and a weighted frame on paving.
The requests we see from Pretoria usually come from:
