Buy bucket chairs for the garden? Offers up to 40% off!

A bucket chair for the garden wraps around your body like a comfortable shell. The rounded, ergonomic shape offers excellent back support and a luxurious seating feel. At Boender Outdoor you'll find bucket chairs in wicker, rope and aluminium — as dining chair or lounge chair.

Why choose a bucket chair for outdoors?

  • Enveloping, ergonomic shape — feels like an embrace
  • Excellent back support thanks to the high rounded sides
  • Wind-resistant: the bucket shape shelters you from the breeze
  • Modern, stylish design as a focal point in your garden
  • Comfortable without cushions (even more comfortable with cushions)
  • Available in anthracite, grey and black

Types of bucket chairs

  • Wicker bucket chair: classic woven look, warm and inviting
  • Rope bucket chair: modern woven cord, airy and luxurious
  • Aluminium bucket chair: sleek design, lightweight
  • Plastic bucket chair: affordable and colourful

Bucket chair vs. other garden chairs

A bucket chair offers more envelopment than a standard dining chair. Compared to a lounge chair, you sit more upright and compact in a bucket chair. A hanging chair also embraces you but rocks — a bucket chair stands stable on the ground.

What to consider when choosing bucket chairs

  • Seat width: the bucket shape limits width — check if the chair is wide enough for your build
  • Height: dining bucket chairs (seat height 44-46 cm) for your dining table; low bucket chairs for lounging
  • Material: wicker and rope are the most popular for bucket chairs
  • Swivel: some bucket chairs are swivel on the base — extra luxury

Combining

Bucket chairs around a round garden table create a sleek, modern look. Mix with a parasol for shade. Add garden cushions for extra seating comfort and colour accents.

Maintenance

Wicker bucket chairs: wipe with a damp cloth. Rope: rinse with water. Aluminium: water and mild soap. Use a protective cover in winter.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is a bucket chair?

A bucket chair has a rounded, shell-like shape that wraps around your body. The high sides provide back support and wind protection. It's a popular garden chair style for modern outdoor design.

Are bucket chairs comfortable?

Very comfortable. The ergonomic bucket shape follows the contours of your back. With a seat cushion, comfort is even better. Bucket chairs are suitable for prolonged sitting.

Do bucket chairs work at a dining table?

Yes, dining bucket chairs have the right seat height (44-46 cm) for a standard garden table. Check that the bucket width isn't too wide for the available space at the table.

Are bucket chairs stackable?

This depends on the model. Some bucket chairs are stackable, but the rounded shape makes stacking more difficult than with flat chairs. Check the product specifications.

What's the best material for an outdoor bucket chair?

Wicker (polyrattan) and rope on an aluminium frame are the most popular for outdoor bucket chairs. Both are weather-resistant, UV-resistant and low-maintenance.

Does a bucket chair offer wind protection?

Yes, the high sides of a bucket chair offer some wind protection. This makes them more comfortable than open chairs on windswept terraces.

How many bucket chairs fit around a round table?

Around a 120 cm diameter round table, 4 bucket chairs fit. At 150 cm diameter, 6 bucket chairs fit. Bucket chairs are slightly wider than standard chairs, so bear this in mind.

How do I maintain a bucket chair?

Wicker bucket chairs: wipe with a damp cloth. Rope bucket chairs: rinse with water. Aluminium: with mild soap. Use a protective cover in winter.
