Absolutely, we do! I get this question a lot, and I love being able to say yes immediately. Finding a bench that is genuinely ADA-compliant and also has that extra seat height isn't just about ticking a legal box—it’s about making sure someone can sit down and stand up without it turning into a struggle. If your knees, hips, or back have ever talked back to you, you know exactly what I mean.
The model we recommend most often is our Westbrook High-Seat series. The seat height on these sits at a comfortable 19 inches from the ground, which is on the upper end of the ADA range but honestly makes a world of difference compared to a standard 16- or 17-inch bench. You feel the relief immediately because you aren’t dropping down or climbing up. Just a smooth, supported transition.
From a compliance standpoint, we didn't just raise the seat. The ADA guidelines ask for specific things, and we zeroed in on all of them. The bench needs to have back support, so ours has a gently contoured backrest that doesn't force you upright but keeps you stable. It requires armrests for leverage, and these aren't flimsy afterthoughts. They extend far enough forward to help you push off while distributing your weight. The armrest supports are rated for a vertical load of 250 pounds, which is critical for anyone who needs to bear down heavily. The surface openings are all spaced to prevent a cane or crutch tip from trapping, and the feet sit flush with the ground so there is no tripping hazard to navigate with a walker.
You can spec it in a few materials, which matters because outdoor maintenance is a real thing. Recycled plastic lumber is our top seller. It never needs painting, won't splinter, and honestly looks like painted wood even up close. That is a big deal for rest areas, memory care garden paths, or anywhere you don't want a maintenance crew oiling teak every season. If you prefer the traditional feel, we also offer it in thermally modified ash, which is weather-resistant and silky smooth. Stability is no issue either. The legs allow for a surface mount or direct burial, and the bench can be anchored down on concrete without wobbling, so it feels as solid as an indoor chair.
A detail people often miss until they live with it is the seat depth. We kept it at 18 inches deep. Too deep, and your lower back loses contact with the backrest, which defeats the purpose of the ergonomic support. Too shallow, and it feels like a perch. 18 inches lets you sit properly with your feet flat on the ground or pavement while your back is fully supported.
If you are placing these in a public park, along a accessible trail, or outside a clinic, here is one tip: pair it with a clear ground surface route. The concrete pad under the bench and the clear floor space on one side of it, typically 30 by 48 inches, make the whole setup wheelchair-friendly. Someone can transfer from a chair onto the bench or simply sit next to a companion in a wheelchair without the bench feeling isolated. The bench is the star, but that surrounding clearance is what turns it from a nice seat into true accessible design.
I always suggest ordering a sample color swatch first if appearance is critical. The recycled plastic colors range from a coastal gray to a warm cedar tone, but screen colors lie all the time. We will ship that swatch out in a day so you can see the exact tone against your landscaping.
So yes, we absolutely have outdoor benches that are ADA-compliant with a higher seat, and I would say this specific model is one of those rare finds that manages to be code-compliant, dignified, and genuinely comfortable for aging in place or any public accessibility need. Let me know if you want the cut sheet or load test report.
