What to know locally in Durban
Peg and pole tents suit the soft lawns of Durban North and Westville, but township yards in Umlazi and Clermont are often sloped and tight, so a stretch tent or frame tent with weights may fit better. Beachfront and Umhlanga lawn functions need a tent with sides against wind and sand. Round tables with floor-length cloths are standard at temple hall receptions, and party hire for kiddies birthdays peaks over the December holidays.
Hiring for events in Durban
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: plastic chairs and a few trestles at the family home, delivered before the weekend
- Families and home celebrations: trestles and plastic chairs in the yard for a 21st, a lobola or a family braai
- Companies, conferences and functions: rounds and banquet chairs for a year-end function or an awards dinner

Hire firms serving Durban mostly work from here: prospecton, Jacobs, Springfield, Riverhorse Valley and the townships. The bookings that come up most: funeral tents and plastic chairs, wedding marquees and Tiffany chairs. When you ask for quotes, ask for tent sides and flooring in summer, and say if the yard is on a slope.
Around Durban the largest group asking is funerals, memorials and unveilings, which usually means plastic chairs and a few trestles at the family home, delivered before the weekend. Before you agree to anything: count every chair and table on delivery. Delivery here: trucks from metro yards; outlying townships and the north coast may cost more.
