Collapsible Bucket 9L (25 cm) – Foldable Water Bucket with Stainless Handle

This collapsible 9L bucket is a practical solution for anyone who needs a bucket on the go but doesn’t want the bulk of a traditional pail. When expanded, it functions as a standard bucket with a 9-liter capacity – great for fetching water to rinse your deck or for carrying ice and drinks. When you’re done, simply push down and fold the sides, and the bucket flattens into a thin disc that can be stowed in a drawer, locker, or under a seat.

The bucket’s body is made of tough, waterproof fabric (often heavy-duty PVC or similar tarpaulin material) that can handle both fresh and saltwater and is easy to clean. The rim and base might have reinforcing rings to help it keep shape when open. A highlight is the stainless steel handle: unlike cheap wire handles that rust, this robust handle stays corrosion-free and securely riveted to the bucket’s sides, so you can carry a full bucket of water without worry. The handle has a comfortable curve, making it easy to grip or hang on a hook.

Marine & Outdoor Uses: On a boat, a collapsible bucket is incredibly useful: use it to haul seawater on deck for washing anchor chains or decks (just toss it overboard on a line – it sinks and fills easily). Use it for cleaning fish or rinsing scuba gear with minimal space usage when not in operation. Because it’s compact, even small boats can carry one – no more hard buckets rolling around. For sailors, it’s perfect for sponge baths or laundry during a cruise. It can double as a bailer in a pinch, or to hold soapy water when scrubbing the boat.

Anglers will find it handy to keep live bait or the day’s catch in water. The 9L size is sufficient for a good number of baitfish or a few medium catches. You can hang it from a rail using the handle to keep it upright.

Beyond boating, take this bucket camping for fetching water from a stream, mixing camp shower water, or as a simple sink for washing dishes. Beachgoers can use it to build sandcastles or collect shells, and then pack it flat in a beach bag. At home, it could serve for gardening tasks or washing the car, then fold it away neatly.

Design & Durability: The collapsible design has been engineered so that the bucket remains stable when filled. The circular base provides a flat footprint so it won’t tip easily on a flat surface. The fabric sides are reinforced to resist tearing and are typically UV-resistant to avoid sun damage. If the water inside is hot (say for dishwashing while camping), the material can handle warm temperatures without deforming. Cleaning the bucket is as simple as rinsing it out and letting it dry. Mildew resistance is a plus – make sure to dry it thoroughly before long-term storage.

When folded, you can secure it with a strap or store it in the included pouch (some models come with a carry pouch). The slim profile – only a few centimeters thick – can fit in tight storage spaces.

Overall, this 9L collapsible bucket is a space-saving champion. It delivers the functionality of a normal bucket without eating up precious room. For boaters in particular, where storage is always at a premium, it’s an easy choice to add to your gear. You’ll be surprised how often it comes in handy, and you’ll appreciate that it doesn’t clutter your deck or locker. Lightweight yet sturdy, it’s built for life on the water and on the road.
