ADA & Accessibility Options

I'm looking for ADA-compliant pieces or furniture that's easy for customers with limited mobility to use. What are my options?

POLYWOOD offers a variety of accessible furniture options that fit your family's lifestyle. 

Wheelchair-Accessible Tables

Everyone should be able to gather around the table, so when shopping for wheelchair-accessible options, look for these dimensions listed on the product page.  

• Stand between 28 and 34 inches tall. 
• Have a minimum knee clearance of 27 inches high (from the floor to the underside of the table) and 19 inches deep. 
• Offer spaces beneath the table that are at least 30 inches wide.

Here is a table that meet these ADA dimensional guidelines:

Accessible Seating

Make your outdoor space more accessible with the following seating suggestions.

Upright Adirondacks 

Our upright Adirondacks sit higher off the ground, making sitting down and standing up easier. Here’s a list of our tallest seats.

• Classic Upright Adirondack Chair
• Modern Upright Adirondack Chair

• Seashell Upright Adirondack Chair

Chaise Lounges

Accessible spaces often have furniture that's low to the ground. Our chaise lounges have adjustable backs and sit lower than many outdoor seating options, offering plenty of room for family members to settle in and relax.

• Captain Chaise
• Country Living Chaise
• Country Living Chaise with Wheels

Sectionals

POLYWOOD deep seating sectionals are wide, sit lower to the ground, and can be modified to fit the size and shape of any outdoor area. When choosing a sectional, look for one with an added chaise lounge or ottoman that offers full-body comfort for family members. Here are two curated sectionals for your consideration.

• Vineyard 4-Piece Sectional with Ottoman
• Braxton Modular 4-Piece Deep Seating Set with Ottoman

You can also design a custom sectional that’s tailored to the shape of your space. Get creative with our EDGE Sectional Planner, or design your own shape with modular pieces from two PW Designer Series collections.

Other Considerations

Choose Sensory-Friendly Colors

Selecting furniture in subdued hues creates a calm atmosphere for those with sensory differences. Our genuine POLYWOOD lumber and outdoor cushion fabrics are available in a variety of relaxing shades.

Keep Textures in Mind

If you have a family member with sensory sensitivities, you'll want to avoid furniture with rough or bumpy textures. Choose furniture in our Classic Finish as it features a smooth surface.
