GX Outdoors has a range of DDA-approved wheelchair-accessible products for outdoor public spaces that ensure everyone can get outside and have fun with friends and family, regardless of physical ability.
FRONTIER BBQ
The Frontier has been designed to allow easy access to the barbecue, partially from the side and from the front. This makes it extremely easy for you to move a wheelchair around the unit.
The design of this barbecue is stylish and can be powdercoated in your choice of vibrant colours to make it a focal point of your space. The unit is bolted down to ensure safety and stability.
CONTOUR BBQ
The Contour features legs or solid ends that allow it to be free-standing. It has been designed to fit the same dimensions of GX Outdoors’ standard EDGE barbecue, which means it’s perfect for placing back-to-back in areas where you wish to utilise both designs.
Access for wheelchairs is from the front on this design and the vehicle must enter and exit the barbecue from a straight-on position. If needed, additional room can be provided with the double and triple barbecue options available.
REVIVA DRINKING FOUNTAIN
GX Outdoors' Reviva Drinking Fountain is both wheelchair friendly and watermarked with the appliance incorporating backflow protection, complying with AS/NZS 3500.1.
It features a unique rubber mouthguard that has been specially designed to protect teeth in the rough and tough environment of the schoolyard and playground. The mouthguard is made from a nitrile compound that is AS 4020 approved and has high resistance to fungal and bacterial attack.
The rubber compound has a high degree of saturation that ensures the unit has a greater resistance to sunlight and environmental ageing.
WHEELCHAIR ACCESS FURNITURE
GX Outdoors also supplies much of its furniture range with extra table space to allow for adequate wheelchair access underneath. With a number of stylish options available, its furniture can be incorporated into the design of any outdoor open space.
