Help and advice

It could be worth trying picnic tables before purchase. Most of these tables accommodate a wheelchair with an average wheelbase size, upright back support and compact footplates. If you are using a wheelchair with a longer wheelbase check you have enough space and can access the table to participate in the picnic. Check the height and depth of the bench, if you are transferring from your wheelchair.

If you are purchasing a swing we would suggest you seek advice from an Occupational therapist, a Physiotherapist or an experienced supplier particularly:

• if you are looking for a wheelchair compatible swing or clamps for a wheelchair
• if you have reduced trunk balance or high or low tone.

If you are looking for a selection of swings for children please visit our Children's section on outdoor swings or rockers.
