Garden stand or open plot — the rig changes
Pretoria North covers two different site types, and the tent specification follows the ground rather than the address. An established garden stand in Montana, Annlin or Sinoville is a bounded lawn with services beneath it: a peg-and-pole marquee rigs fine on the open grass, but anything near paving or irrigation moves to a weighted frame. An open plot or smallholding toward Akasia and Hammanskraal is unbounded ground with no services to avoid, which is where peg-and-pole is both the cheapest and the correct structure — and where the wind exposure that comes with an open plot makes storm strapping worth the line item.
The practical difference is anchoring, not size. Weighted structures are on the frame tent hire price list.
Tent hire across the northern suburbs
Montana, Annlin, Sinoville, Theresapark and Wonderboom split between established garden stands and newer security complexes — big lawns take peg-and-pole marquees, while complex courtyards need weighted frame tents on paving. Akasia, Karenpark and Amandasig book the busy suburban middle, and the north's plot belt toward Bon Accord and Hammanskraal holds the space for 200-seat structures that inner suburbs cannot.
Plots, smallholdings and Hammanskraal
The open plots north of the city are function grounds in their own right — smallholding weddings, church gatherings and community functions rig full peg-and-pole marquees on generous lawn, pegged into soft ground at the lowest per-seat cost in Tshwane. Hammanskraal, Temba and the Ga-Rankuwa side are serviced on request with a quoted distance charge; township bundles there follow the same tent-with-chairs logic as tent hire in Soshanguve & Mamelodi.

Open plot or complex: the price by guest count
The same guest count prices differently on the two ground types. Pegs on an open plot are the cheapest rig; a weighted frame on a complex courtyard costs more per seat. Bands come from the marquee and frame tent hire price list tables.
| Seated guests | Open plot: peg-and-pole | Band | Complex or paving: weighted frame | Band |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20–30 | Peg-and-pole package with furniture | R999–R1,800 | 5m × 5m (20–25 seats) | R1,850–R2,600 |
| 50 | — | — | 5m × 10m | R2,800–R4,200 |
| 100 | 10m × 15m | R4,500–R7,500 | 10m × 15m (100–120 seats) | R6,500–R9,500 |
| 200 | 10m × 30m | R8,000–R13,000 | 10m × 30m (200–240 seats) | R12,000–R18,000 |
At 200 seats that is R40–R65 a seat on pegs against R50–R90 a seat on a weighted frame. Open plots add one line the stands rarely need: extra ballast and storm strapping at R400–R1,200 for wind exposure.
