Tent house in Hyderabad: what they rent, what it costs, how to book

A tent house in Hyderabad rents the cover, the seating and the serving ware for a function: pandals, hangars and pagodas; plastic, banquet and Chiavari chairs; tables, crockery, buffet counters, fans, coolers and often a generator. A 5×5 m pagoda runs ₹4,000–₹9,000 + GST and a 20×40 ft German hangar ₹40,000–₹90,000 + GST per day, indicative, as of October 2026. Standard items need 2–5 days' notice; a hangar about a week.

What does a tent house in Hyderabad actually supply?

The tent house is the oldest rental business in the city and the one most families call first. Five groups of stock, under one roof.

Cover. Pandals and shamianas, the pipe-and-cloth structures quoted per square foot for a street function, a pooja or a haldi. German hangars, aluminium frames with a tensioned white roof in 20×40 ft, 30×60 ft and larger bays, for receptions, corporate offsites and anything in the monsoon. Pagoda tents, 3×3 m to 5×5 m, for a terrace, a lawn or a food counter. Side walls, flooring, carpets and ceiling drapes to finish the inside.

Seating. Plastic chairs for a street function, banquet chairs with covers and sashes for a hall, Chiavari chairs for a reception, sofas for the stage and the family. Chairs are the item every tent house has by the thousand, and the item that goes missing at collection, so count them.

Tables and linen. 5 ft and 6 ft rounds, 6 ft rectangular tables for the buffet and the registration desk, cocktail tables, with linen in white, cream or the function colour.

Serving ware. Crockery and cutlery by the hundred, glasses, water drums and dispensers, buffet counters, chafing dishes, tea urns. Caterers often bring their own; confirm who brings what, or you pay twice.

Comfort and power. Pedestal fans, mist fans, air coolers for a May wedding, heaters for a December lawn, a silent generator with distribution for a venue without supply. Many tent houses also carry a small carpeted stage, a backdrop frame, serial lights and a basic sound set; for anything larger you move to a stage, LED or sound company, covered in event vendors in Hyderabad.

How much does a tent house charge in Hyderabad?

Indicative Hyderabad market ranges, per day, as of October 2026, GST at 18% on top: 5×5 m pagoda ₹4,000–₹9,000 + GST; 20×40 ft German hangar ₹40,000–₹90,000 + GST; banquet chair with cover and sash ₹25–₹60 + GST; Chiavari chair ₹80–₹200 + GST; 5 ft round table with linen ₹250–₹600 + GST; 6 ft rectangular table ₹200–₹500 + GST; cocktail table with stretch cover ₹300–₹700 + GST; 2-seater lounge sofa ₹1,200–₹3,000 + GST; couple sofa for the stage ₹2,500–₹8,000 + GST; 12×8 ft carpeted stage ₹4,000–₹12,000 + GST; 62.5 kVA generator ₹6,000–₹12,000 + GST plus diesel. Pandals, flooring, side walls, fans, coolers and crockery are quoted per square foot or per piece and vary too much between yards to give a range here; ask for the rate card and compare on the same quantities.

Two worked totals, rentals only, indicative, as of October 2026:

• Haldi on a Kukatpally terrace, 60 guests: two 5×5 m pagodas, 60 banquet chairs, six round tables with linen, a 6×4 ft backdrop frame, two pedestal fans, crockery for 60. ₹12,000–₹28,000 + GST before décor and the backdrop print.
• Reception on a Shamshabad lawn, 300 guests: 30×60 ft hangar with flooring and side walls, 300 Chiavari chairs, 30 round tables with linen, a couple sofa, two buffet counters, four mist fans, a 62.5 kVA generator. The hangar, flooring and fans are quoted per job and swing the total most; the seating alone is ₹31,500–₹78,000 + GST. Get the hangar quote first.

What moves a quote inside its range: the number of days the stock is on site (a wedding is often three days of rental for one day of use), distance from the yard, whether set-up and collection crew are inside the price, and the season. The chair, table and sofa ranges by type are in event furniture rental in Hyderabad.

Pandal or German hangar?

A pandal is a bamboo-or-pipe frame with cloth, quoted per square foot, raised in a few hours and taken down the same evening. It is right for a haldi, a pooja, a street function or a shop opening in dry weather, and it is the cheaper option. A German hangar is an aluminium frame with a tensioned white PVC roof, rated for wind and rain, with 3–4 m of clear height for a stage, a truss and lighting, and a floor that can take a dance floor. It costs several times a pandal of the same footprint and takes a crew most of a day to raise, but it is the only honest choice for a reception, a corporate offsite or any outdoor function between June and September. Ask about anchoring on a paved surface and about the plan if the monsoon arrives early.

Where are the tent houses in Hyderabad?

They cluster where the city's weddings happen. Kukatpally and the KPHB colonies, Secunderabad around Paradise and Bowenpally, the older city around Malakpet, Charminar and Chanchalguda, and the Dilsukhnagar and LB Nagar belt each have a street of tent-house yards with the stock stacked to the ceiling. Newer yards with hangars and trucks sit along the Outer Ring Road towards Shamshabad and Moinabad, close to the farmhouses and convention lawns they serve. Corporate-leaning suppliers around Gachibowli and Madhapur carry cocktail tables and Chiavaris rather than pandals.

Pick one within about 15 km of the venue: transport is a line on the quote, and the yard across the city arrives late on a wedding Saturday. The locality map for every rental category is in event rentals in Hyderabad.

How do I book a tent house without the ten calls?

The usual way is to call a tent house someone in the family used, describe the function, get a number on WhatsApp, call two more to compare, and discover on the day that nobody wrote down the collection time. A better order:

1. Fix the guest count, the venue and the dates the stock must be on site, including set-up and collection days.
2. Write the list by quantity: chairs, tables, cover size, crockery count, fans, generator.
3. Get quotes on that same list, with transport, set-up, collection and GST shown as lines.
4. Book the scarce item first: the hangar in wedding season, the coolers in May.
5. Agree who counts the items at hand-over and at collection, and what a broken chair costs.
6. Pay the balance only after collection is counted.

On Evnting, an event rental and services marketplace in Hyderabad run by Avens Event Technologies, tent houses list pagodas, hangars, chairs, tables, fans and crockery with the all-inclusive price and date-based availability in the catalogue. You put the cover, the seating and the serving ware in one order, pay into escrow, the vendor confirms on WhatsApp and the money is released after delivery, with a GST invoice on every order. Steps 2 to 6 happen on the screen.

Running a tent house? List it.

The same three groups who search "tent house near me" every weekend, families, event managers and corporate admins, cannot find a yard that only has a signboard and a phone number. A listing with the item, the quantity, the price and the locality appears for all three, and escrow means the balance arrives without a second visit. Listing on Evnting is free; how to photograph and price the stock is in how to list an event rental business online.
