Do you offer benches with different slat spacing for accessibility and comfort?

Yes, we absolutely do. I understand that a bench isn’t just a bench—it’s a resting point, a meeting place, and sometimes a lifeline for someone needing a moment of ease. That’s why I offer benches with different slat spacing, because I know that “comfort” means different things to different bodies.

For someone using a wheelchair or walking with a cane, wider slat spacing makes it easier to transfer from a mobility device to the seat. It also allows rainwater and debris to fall through, keeping the surface cleaner and drier for the next user. I recognize that accessibility isn’t just about ramps—it’s about the little details like a 1.5-inch gap versus a 0.5-inch gap.

But I don’t stop there. For those who want to linger, read a book, or nap in the shade, narrower slat spacing provides more uniform support and prevents small items like pens or phones from slipping through. I’ve even designed an adjustable model where the slat spacing can be changed mid-bench: tighter in the center for comfort, wider near the ends for accessibility.

Every bench I offer can be customized to fit the needs of your space—whether it’s a busy transit plaza, a quiet garden, or an inclusive playground. I want my benches to welcome everyone, from a tired parent pushing a stroller to an older adult enjoying a sunny afternoon. So yes, I offer different slat spacing. Because comfort and accessibility should never be a one-size-fits-all choice.
