Tables, tents & party hire in Gauteng: local notes
Stretch tents go up on garden lawns in Fourways, Midstream and Waterkloof for 40th birthdays and engagements, while frame marquees stand on paving at corporate parks and school fields for open days and fun runs. Party hire sets with jumping castles book out over December. Township funerals usually need a peg and pole tent, trestle tables and cloths for the meal, so mention the yard size and any paving.
Gauteng: the events, the weather and the hire firms
One Saturday in Gauteng can need a funeral tent in a Soweto yard, three hundred Tiffany chairs at a Muldersdrift wedding venue and a hall full of conference seating in Midrand, all from firms working the same roads. That competition for stock is the thing to plan around. Hire companies are spread through the industrial areas of every metro and across the townships, where many run a few tents and stacks of plastic chairs from home. Trucks move between Johannesburg, Pretoria and the East Rand daily, so transport fees usually follow distance or zones. Summer brings late afternoon thunderstorms and hail, so ask for tent sides and a plan for the walk from tent to house.
Who asks for table hire around Gauteng, most often first:
- Funerals, memorials and unveilings: trestles for the meal after the service and for the after-tears at home
- Companies, conferences and functions: registration trestles and rounds for a training day, launch or year-end lunch
- Families and home celebrations: a few trestles for the food and gifts at a birthday, baby shower or braai

Table Hire usually suits buffets, funerals, weddings and fun days. What you get: folding trestles, rounds or solid timber. For funerals, memorials and unveilings, the biggest group here, that usually means trestles for the meal after the service and for the after-tears at home.
