Hire classic wooden deckchairs for events. Large stock, competitive prices. Book online for reliable delivery across England & Wales.
When you need reliable, comfortable outdoor seating that’s easy to deploy and store, our deckchair hire is the solution. These traditional deckchairs offer a classic look and practical functionality for a wide range of events across the UK. Crafted with robust solid wood frames, they provide sturdy support for guests, while the replaceable fabric slings come in a selection of bright stripe colours to add a cheerful touch to your venue.
Deckchairs are a versatile seating option, ideal for creating a relaxed atmosphere at outdoor gatherings. Their lightweight design and ability to fold flat make them exceptionally practical for event organisers. You can quickly set up seating areas for hundreds of guests without requiring extensive labour or space. This makes them a favourite for events where quick turnaround and efficient logistics are key.
Setting up our deckchairs is straightforward. You simply unfold the solid wood frame and hook the fabric sling over the top crossbar. The frame includes adjustable timber support struts, allowing you to select one of three reclining positions for optimal comfort. For best results, place the chairs on flat, firm ground to prevent the frame from sinking into softer surfaces like turf.
The number of deckchairs you need will depend on your event size and the seating arrangement you plan. As a general guide, consider one chair per expected attendee who will require seating. Their compact, stackable nature means you can hire a substantial quantity without logistical headaches. For larger festivals or cinema events, you might aim for seating for 20-30% of your anticipated audience, with more available for those who wish to sit for extended periods. If you are unsure about quantities, our hire team can offer advice based on your specific event type and expected attendance.

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 50m of the vehicle. If it takes the driver longer then you will be charged £12.50 per additional 15 minutes. If a driver arrives and delivery or collection is impossible then unfortunately an additional carriage charge will be added to your order.
If there are likely to be issues with regards to location, staff onsite or the size of the order, then it's imperative you advise us BEFORE you place your order. Please note that our vans cannot go off-road onto grass or dirt areas, particularly when it has been wet due to the chances of the vehicle getting stuck.
As our drivers are multiple drop drivers, any issues with your delivery or collection of your order could result in issues for other customers. We ask that you are mindful of this when we are delivering or collecting your order.
