Bleachers Great
Creating A Premier Athletic Field With Quality Bleachers
The snap of a bat, the roar of the crowd, the dash of the soccer ball, the "swish" of the basketball...these are all sounds that will bring a smile to any sports fan's face (whether it's little league, high school, college or professional).
On the other hand, imagine that you listen to these sounds while standing up (or worse yet, sitting on the scratchy grass!). No matter which sport you enjoy most, no game takes less than an hour - and no one wants to stand, or sit on grass, for an hour or more!
Having quality bleachers is essential to creating a top notch athletic field, and ensuring more people attend your games (with their pockets full of entrance fee and snack money!). The choice of which bleachers to purchase doesn't need to be intimidating.
A long time ago, bleachers used to be made of wooden boards which, being left exposed and open to the elements were lightened by the sun - thus the name, which has been in use since the early 1900's.
Most recent bleachers are now assembled from aluminum or steel, and several can be custom-built with colored seating for true team spirit. Depending on your needs, there are distinct varieties to choose from. Aluminon Tip n' Roll bleachers are ideal for temporary seating mainly for indoor seating, or small spaces, as they are easily tipped onto their swivel casters for movement, permitting them to be stored fast and simply. Rubber foot pads are also added in, ensuring floors are protected from scractching.
Non-elevated bleachers sit lower from the ground for extra safety, and are smaller in size, making them perfect for smaller athletic fields. Available with 3, 4 or 5 rows, these bleachers are still large enough to seat up to 80 sports fans! Transportable non-elevated models are also a great option - with the addition of the transport kit, these 5 or 10 row bleachers can be moved easily across grass, and can seat up to 160 people.
For football or soccer fields, where larger seating is needed, elevated bleachers are the ideal solution. These seating systems contain guardrails, aisles with handrails, entry stairs, and aluminum seat, foot and riser planks, not counting quite a few elevation heights. They are designed to contain up to 500 people (or more!) depending on your needs.
To suit seating requirements and site restraints, it is always possible to custom design and manufacture different sizes and configurations. When ordering bleachers, it is important to check local requirements for such things as aisles, guardrails, ADA, or other conditions. Building codes vary by year written and by issuing group, so check local building codes before purchasing any bleachers.
