Tables, tents & party hire in Johannesburg: local notes
Funeral and unveiling tents go up in yards across Soweto, Orange Farm and Eldorado Park most weekends, with a few trestle tables for the meal. Stretch tents suit garden parties in Melville, Northcliff and Westdene, where the lawn takes pegs well. Frame marquees appear on school fields and club grounds for fun days, and on paved church grounds for revivals. Party hire with jumping castles and kiddies sets peaks in December, for birthdays and family reunions in the yard.
Chairs, tables and tents in Johannesburg
A single Saturday in Johannesburg can mean rows of plastic chairs under a funeral tent in one suburb and gold Tiffany chairs at a garden wedding a short drive away. The metro is big enough that hire firms tend to split along those lines: many keep warehouses in the industrial belt south of the CBD, while others run smaller yards from the townships and serve their own streets. Transport fees depend on distance and on traffic on the M1 and the highways round the city, so a firm close to your venue often quotes less. Book weekends from October to December early, and in summer plan for afternoon storms and hail with a tent that has sides.
Typical stretch tent hire requests in the area come from:
- Funerals, memorials and unveilings: shade over a memorial gathering or an unveiling where the family wants open sides
- Churches and faith gatherings: open shade for an outdoor church service, a baptism or a festival meal
- Companies, conferences and functions: a stretch tent for a product launch, a sundowner or a team day on a lawn
