Wheelchair access to a shower bench?

[QUOTE="Tom.G, post: 6821109, member: 581973"] An easy way to get a general idea is to make a scaled drawing of the shower stall and the wheelchair footprint. Then cut out the wheelchair footprint and see if you can slide it into the shower. You could also sketch on the wheelchair cutout where the footrests, armrests, wheels, and the backrest are, checking to see what would fit under the shelf and how it can pivot. If you don't have paper large enough for convenient scaling, you could use a cut-up cardboard box, or even newspaper and a marking (felt tip) pen. Or lay out the shower with masking tape on a linoleum floor (kitchen or bathroom), then see if you can ride into it! If you don't have a suitable floor, maybe a friend will let you "borrow" theirs for a bit. Cheers, Tom p.s. Please keep us updated on your progress and results. [/QUOTE]
