How can I ensure my deck is accessible for people with disabilities?

Ensuring your deck is accessible for people with disabilities involves thoughtful design and adherence to accessibility standards. Key considerations include providing easy access through ramps or lifts if there are elevation differences. The deck’s surface should be smooth and free of obstacles for easy mobility. Handrails and guardrails should be at appropriate heights and provide sturdy support. Ample space for maneuvering wheelchairs or other mobility devices is essential. Incorporating non-slip materials and ensuring good lighting for visibility is also important.
