Thank you for your inquiry about wheelchair accessible outdoor benches! We understand how crucial inclusive seating is for creating welcoming public spaces that serve everyone in the community.
We offer several excellent options designed specifically to accommodate wheelchair users while maintaining aesthetic appeal and durability:
Our most popular solution is the ADA Companion Bench, which features an integrated open space at the end of the seating area. This clever design allows wheelchair users to roll directly up to the bench and socialize comfortably with seated companions without transferring from their chair. The open end space measures 36 inches wide, providing ample room for most wheelchairs and mobility devices.
For areas where maximum flexibility is needed, we recommend our Modular Accessible Seating System. These benches can be configured in various arrangements with designated wheelchair spaces between seated sections. This approach ensures that wheelchair users are included as part of the seating group rather than being separated at the ends.
All our accessible benches comply with ADA guidelines for height (17-19 inches), stability, and approach clearance. We construct them from weather-resistant materials including powder-coated steel, marine-grade polymer, or sustainably sourced hardwood to withstand outdoor elements while requiring minimal maintenance.
Many of our clients choose to incorporate these benches into parks, university campuses, healthcare facilities, and public transit areas where inclusive seating makes a significant difference in accessibility. The thoughtful design not only serves practical needs but also sends a powerful message about your commitment to creating spaces where everyone belongs.
Would you like me to share specific dimensions, material options, or pricing information for any of these accessible bench solutions? I'm happy to help you select the perfect option for your project requirements and budget considerations.
