Hire traditional wooden folding deckchairs for garden parties, outdoor festivals and summer events. Classic fabric sling, folds flat, stacks 10 high. No deposit, delivery from £40.
Traditional wooden folding deckchairs with a classic fabric sling seat. The solid wood frame folds flat for transport and stacks ten high, which makes them practical for events that need to bring in and remove seating quickly. The classic striped fabric sling creates the summer aesthetic that works for garden parties, open-air cinemas, outdoor festivals and corporate picnics where a relaxed atmosphere is the point.
Garden parties are the most natural booking. A lawn covered with deckchairs transforms an outdoor space into a casual social area without the formality of round tables and banqueting chairs. Open-air cinema events use deckchairs as the primary seating. Corporate summer parties that want a relaxed theme rather than a formal dinner use a mix of deckchairs, picnic tables and outdoor poseur tables.
Festivals and public outdoor events use deckchairs in rest areas and hospitality zones. Horticultural shows, sports day events, village fetes and outdoor exhibitions all use them. The traditional aesthetic works particularly well at heritage venues, racecourses, estate lawns and walled gardens.
Each chair measures 1.2m long, 0.6m wide and 0.88m high. Weight is around 4kg per chair. The fold-flat design means 10 chairs fit in a small stack for storage or transport. Setup requires no tools — each chair unfolds and locks into position in a few seconds. The fabric sling supports up to the standard rated load for the frame.
These chairs are for outdoor use. They handle grass, patio, decking and gravelled surfaces. For indoor events or formal dining, see our banqueting chairs and Chiavari chairs.
Deckchairs work best when paired with other outdoor furniture. Poseur tables at standing height give guests somewhere to set drinks. Low folding tables at a height that works with deckchair seating create a picnic-style layout. Patio heaters extend the usable hours of an outdoor area into the evening. Gazebos provide shade or rain cover close to the seating area. All of these can go on the same order and arrive on the same delivery.

No. The hire price covers the chair with the fabric sling seat only. Cushions are not included or available as an add-on.
Deckchairs sit lower than standard chairs and require guests to lean back into them. Some guests find them difficult to get out of independently. For events with a significant proportion of elderly or less mobile guests, banqueting chairs or garden chairs with backs and armrests are a more accessible choice.
Yes. The wooden frame handles damp outdoor conditions. Avoid standing them in pooled water. If the fabric sling gets very wet, allow it to dry before folding the chairs for storage, as damp fabric folded flat can mark.

Unless the two person carriage charge has been paid for, deliveries and collections are made by a single driver, who has 15 minutes to deliver or collect your order.
Our drivers are not allowed to take items up or down stairs or into lifts, and all deliveries need to be made within 50 metres of the vehicle. Any delays beyond the standard delivery time caused by access issues or items not being ready will be charged at £120 per hour or part thereof.
If a driver arrives and delivery or collection is impossible then unfortunately a wasted journey charge will apply. You will be sent a live tracking link so you can monitor your delivery in real time — our drivers do not make phone calls to notify of arrival times.
If access to collecting the hired equipment is denied, blocked, or impassable, a wasted collection journey will be automatically charged. Any parking tickets issued to vehicles whilst executing a delivery or collection will be charged for whilst we appeal.
