All new picnic table installations at US Forest Service facilities must comply with requirements for accessible seating spaces, table clearance, slope, and surface in FSORAG. The number of wheelchair seating spaces that must be provided at each table is based on the length of the picnic table measured at the perimeter. Installing picnic table with tops approximately 33-34 inches and benches with seating surfaces approximately 18-19 inches above the ground or walking surface will provide reasonable accommodations for compliance with barrier removal and accessibility.
