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.
Johannesburg: the events, the weather and the hire firms
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.
Who asks for table and chair hire around Johannesburg, most often first:
- 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
- Churches and faith gatherings: extra chairs and long tables for a church anniversary lunch or a revival
Local tips for Johannesburg
Hire firms serving Johannesburg mostly work from here: industrial areas south of the CBD, the northern suburbs and yards in Soweto. The bookings that come up most: funeral tents and plastic chairs, Tiffany chairs and stretch tents for weddings. When you ask for quotes, ask for a firm near your venue to keep the transport fee down.
Bookings range widely: from 5 tables to 50 or more. Here, funerals, memorials and unveilings lead the requests, typically for plastic chairs and a few trestles at the family home, delivered before the weekend. One local point to raise: trucks from metro warehouses; the fee rises with distance and traffic.
