Long story but I am in the process of construction some raised beds for wheel chair users to access does anyone know the optimum height for this type of facility and the minimum width (which I think should be 1 metre) for the path around the beds?
Please no speculation, I want to get this right.

Hi Compo,
I can only direct you to DBTAC (google)
Type in " width of wheelchair"
It's 5th on the list, hope this helps......
Sorry can't send the link, as I don't know how to do that one?

Or ask an OT who does DFGs. If you don't know one, I can find out for you.
