Outdoor Stairlifts
What is an outdoor stairlift?
Like indoor stairlifts, outdoor stairlifts are designed to move you from one level of your home to another. The difference is that outdoor stairlifts have weather-resistant features, including weather-resistant covers, and they are specifically made to stand up to the elements, including rain and the hot sun.
What are the benefits of outdoor stairlifts?
Outdoor stairlifts offer the same benefits outside as an indoor stairlift does inside. They can be used with the stairs that lead to your front or back porch or deck, as well as your dock if you live on the water. Outdoor stairlifts are available for both straight and curved staircases around your home, and for many people, especially seniors, they can play a vital role in staying independent despite mobility limitations.
How much does an outdoor stairlift cost?
There are several factors that can affect the cost of your outdoor stairlift. A stairlift on a short staircase will be less expensive than one that is several yards long, and stairlifts with curves will cost more than straight ones. The cost will also vary according to the model you choose, but on average, you can expect to pay anywhere from $3,500 to $6,500 for a straight outdoor stairlift and $12,000 or more for a curved one.
How safe is an outdoor stairlift?
When they are properly installed, outdoor stairlifts are just as safe as indoor ones. They are equipped with safety features, such as motion sensors and a seatbelt or restraint system, to keep you safe while using the unit. In addition, using an outdoor stairlift can help reduce the risk of slipping and falling down the stairs.
Can I install my own outdoor stairlift?
