What a funeral tent hire includes
The standard setup is a peg-and-pole tent over the yard, plastic chairs in rows, and trestle tables for the after-service meal — up in one visit, collected after the weekend. Common additions: a kitchen gazebo, a mobile fridge for catering, extra chair rows for the night vigil, and the after-tears extension carried on the same hire. Winter services add sidewalls against the cool Highveld morning.

| 100-seat tent + chairs + tables | R3,000–R5,500 |

| Mobile fridge | R650–R1,200 |
How the 48-hour turnaround works
Send the area, the yard size if known, and the service day through the quote form — funeral enquiries jump the queue and are confirmed the same day. Rigging lands the day before the service across the metro, and the crew works around the household: quiet setup, at the hours the family sets.
Areas covered at funeral notice
Soshanguve blocks A to VV, Mamelodi East and West, Atteridgeville, Ga-Rankuwa, Mabopane, Winterveld, Hammanskraal and Temba, plus Centurion, Pretoria North and the central suburbs. Memorial services, unveilings and month's-mind gatherings book the same setups at standard notice, with furniture itemised on tables and chairs for hire in Pretoria and bundle pricing in tent hire prices in Pretoria.
Common questions
How quickly can a funeral tent be set up in Pretoria?
Within 24–48 hours of confirmation. Funeral enquiries are prioritised, quotes come back same-day, and rigging is scheduled the day before the service across the Tshwane metro.
What size tent is needed for a funeral?
Most home funeral services seat 50–100 — a 50-seat tent with chairs runs R1,500–R3,000 and a 100-seat setup R3,000–R5,500. Large services add a second tent rather than one oversized structure.
