Tables — trestle, round and cocktail
Trestle tables (R60–R120) seat six to eight and run buffets; 10-seater rounds (R90–R160) build wedding floors; cocktail tables (R80–R140) carry Sandton year-end functions and canapé hours. Linen, overlays and runners hire per table in your colour scheme.
Couch lounges, heaters and the finishing hires
Couch-and-tent lounges are the current Gauteng function look — two- and three-seater couches with ottomans grouped inside stretch tents, from R850 per lounge grouping. Patio gas heaters (R350–R550) are the Joburg winter essential: May to August functions run them from sunset, one heater per 15–20 guests. Draping per metre, fairy-light canopies, walkway carpets, stage decks and mobile fridges complete the list — all riding the same truck as your tent from stretch tent hire in Johannesburg or marquee hire in Johannesburg.
Furniture-only hire
Hall functions across the metro — church halls, community centres, school halls from Soweto to Springs — book chairs and tables without a tent, delivered to your floor plan. Bundle totals and worked examples sit in tent hire prices in Johannesburg.
Common questions
How much are tents and chairs to hire together in Joburg?
A 50-guest bundle — peg-and-pole tent, 50 plastic chairs, 8 trestle tables — runs R1,800–R3,200 in the Joburg metro. Swapping to Tiffany chairs adds roughly R1,400–R2,400 at 50 seats.
How many patio heaters does a winter function need?
One gas heater per 15–20 guests under canvas. A 60-guest July function books three to four heaters at R350–R550 each — run from sunset, when Highveld temperatures drop fast.
Do you deliver chairs and tables without a tent?
Yes. Furniture-only orders deliver across the metro with the crew placing tables and chairs to your floor plan and collecting after the function.
