Frequently Asked Questions — Sizing
How much space does each person need at a picnic table?
Allow approximately 600mm of bench length per person. A standard 1800mm table seats 3 people per side (6 total) comfortably. For supervised settings like school canteens, 500mm per person is acceptable. For aged care or accessible seating, allow 700mm per person to accommodate wheelchairs or mobility aids at the ends.
What size picnic table do I need for accessible or wheelchair seating?
Wheelchair-accessible picnic tables typically require an end-of-table position with a clear approach of at least 900mm. Auscraft can supply tables with one end left open and a reinforced frame for accessible configurations. A 1800mm or 2400mm table with one accessible end position seats 4–6 standard users plus one wheelchair user. Contact us to discuss accessible layout options for your project.
