What a tent-and-chairs bundle is
A bundle is a single hire covering the structure and the furniture together, delivered on one truck and collected on one trip. It exists because the alternative — a tent from one supplier and chairs from another — doubles the delivery cost on a job where delivery is a large share of the total. A standard 100-guest bundle is a peg-and-pole tent of about 6m × 12m, 100 plastic chairs and eight to ten trestle tables, sized on the same 1.2–1.5 m² per seated guest used across this site.
The second reason bundles dominate here is timing. Funerals and family functions are arranged in days, and one supplier delivering everything at an agreed hour is the difference between a setup that is standing when guests arrive and one that is not.
The township function bundle
Functions in Pretoria's townships run on the full setup arriving together: the tent over the yard, chairs in rows or around tables, the kitchen gazebo behind the house, and the mobile fridge for the catering. Booking it as one bundle beats pricing items separately — one truck, one crew, one invoice, rigged the day before the function.
| Bundle | Typical band |
|---|---|
| 50-seat tent + chairs + tables | R1,800–R3,200 |
| 100-seat tent + chairs + tables | R3,500–R6,000 |
| 150-seat wedding setup with draping | R6,500–R11,000 |
| Kitchen gazebo add-on | from R850 |
| Mobile fridge | R650–R1,200 |
Functions we rig across the townships
Umembeso and umemulo ceremonies, traditional and white weddings, 21sts and milestone birthdays, unveilings and after-tears, church functions and stokvel year-ends — each with its own setup logic. Umemulo seating splits elders under the tent and keeps the ceremony space open; umembeso needs the receiving line clear; December stokvel functions book earliest, so lock those dates by October. Tiffany-chair and draping upgrades for weddings come off the tables and chairs for hire in Pretoria list.
Sections and areas we cover
Soshanguve blocks from A to VV, Mamelodi East and West, Atteridgeville, Ga-Rankuwa, Mabopane, Winterveld, Saulsville and the Hammanskraal side on request. Yard rigs work around walls, carports and paving — send yard measurements with the enquiry and the crew confirms the biggest tent that fits.
Funeral tents within 48 hours
Funeral tents with chairs go up across Soshanguve, Mamelodi and Atteridgeville inside 24–48 hours, with the after-tears extension carried on the same hire — the process is on funeral tent hire in Pretoria. For bigger celebrations, the seat-count maths lives in tent hire prices in Pretoria.
The township bundles are part of the metro-wide service — the full range is at tent hire in Pretoria.

Do you deliver to all Soshanguve and Mamelodi sections?
Yes — Soshanguve blocks A to VV, Mamelodi East and West, plus Atteridgeville, Ga-Rankuwa, Mabopane and Winterveld. Delivery, rigging and collection are included in the bundle price.
