Steps for Zimmer Frame Access
By Andy the stuff doer
My dad was confined to home whilst his leg is on the mend. The only reason being, he needs to use a zimmer frame to get around.
There was no reason why he can’t use the zimmer frame outside, it just the steps out of the house he can’t manage safely. They aren’t deep enough to fit the legs of the zimmer frame and one step was too high.
After some thought we came up with a quick and easy solution.
Simple home made steps for zimmer frame mobility
This simple step adaptor took an evening to build and 15 minutes to fit. A cheap, temporary access solution to overcome the only obstacle to getting out and about.
More details are here – Zimmer Steps.
Your comments and suggestions are most welcome.
Nice job Andy! Hade to make a wheelchair access ramp for my neighbour recently, makes a world of difference to the user that they can get over the obsticles un-aided.
Still waiting for the stained glass window and door fitting?
Thats the trouble when you publish something, …we will all pester you till its finnished :-{)
Made my door thanks to your article, just working out my wedges before glue-up. Cant thank you enough.

I’m thinking your next project might be a tree house in that woodland of yours.
Gordon, Thanks for the comments.
For such a quick job, helping someone out with an access problem is very rewarding.
The stained glass is out of my hands, thats my excuse any way. That way it gives me more time to half finish loads of other jobs. I’m sure your door will be finished before mine.
Great minds etc. I’ve just been looking through a book all about tree houses. I’ve got to get some logs out for burning this winter first though, so current quicky is a 2 wheel tractor, scrapheap challange style.
Cheers
Andy
