Choosing a Stairlift for Outdoor Use
Outdoor stairlifts can withstand storms, seasons, and years of use. They are protected from the elements by weather-tight covers and are comfortable, with 19-inch seats that swivel 90 degrees and support up to 350 pounds. Outdoor stairlifts come with a component cover, header cover, and seat and unit cover that ensure the stairlift’s longevity and protection.
When you choose an outdoor stairlift, you must decide between a straight or curved model, like you would with an indoor stairlift. Straight stairlifts run along a straight rail, while curved models run along a bend or curve. The curved models are custom-designed to suit individual staircases, so they are more expensive and take longer to complete.The outdoor stairlift can be installed on either side of a staircase and mounted directly to the stairs instead of a wall.
