OUTDOORS ACCESSIBILITY

Accessible decks & patios in Calgary

Bring seating and outdoor gatherings within easy reach.

Start with the person and the place

Patios and decks work best when the route, threshold and gathering space are considered as one project. We look at level changes, surface transitions and practical room to move.

What to think through

Review the door threshold and deck elevation together.
Leave usable space around furniture.
Account for weather exposure and surface grip.

How we approach it

Tell us what feels difficult today and share photos or measurements if you have them. We can then discuss the route, the existing construction and the range of possible changes. Specific equipment, feasibility and scope are confirmed after assessing the site.

Questions about this solution

Can an existing deck become accessible?

Possibly. Height, structure and available approach space determine the options.

What about the patio door?

The door opening, threshold and operating force should be assessed along with the patio.

What should happen at the door threshold?

The threshold and exterior surface should be planned together. Drainage and weather protection remain important even where the transition is low.

How much space is needed around furniture?

It depends on the mobility device, turning pattern and how people gather. Lay out the intended furniture before finalizing the deck footprint.

Can we keep the current railing?

Possibly. Structure, guard requirements and any change to the approach must be checked for the specific deck.
