aluminum bleachers At times standard aluminum bleachers won't work for a particular location. In that case, The Park and Facilities Catalog offers free layouts for custom bleachers

Aluminum bleachers that need to be customized might the best alternative for your location instead of standard bleachers.

But don't fret, custom bleachers are not uncommon.

First of all, if you believe your project requires customized bleachers, you are not alone. At the Park and Facilities Catalog, about 20% of our projects install non-standard products.

Here's some good news. The Park and Facilities Catalog offers FREE consultations and FREE seating spec sheet layouts for custom projects.

We understand. Not every bleacher project is cookie-cutter. Many times there are extenuating circumstances. Sometimes, a major adaption of standard bleachers is required. Other times just a small revision is needed.

Don't worry. We've got you covered.

Several reasons for customized aluminum bleachers

In our experience, here are some of the most common occasions when custom layouts for aluminum bleachers are required.

  • Longer Seating Planks: perhaps standard seating lengths such as 15 or 24 feet are not enough for your particular venue. Maybe seating planks need to be longer than 27 feet, for example. You anticipate larger crowds and need the extra seating capacity. No problem. We can create a custom layout with longer lengths.
  • Additional Rows: same goes for the number of rows. Maybe you need a different number than the standard 3, 4, 5, 10 and 15-row bleacher configurations. Again, we can create a spec sheet at no extra charge. If you need large Grandstands, we can provide guidance on that as well.
  • Special Platforms or Decking: some venue managers want to add more than just seating to their bleachers. Perhaps they need a press box, a scorer's table or a platform for a band. That's common and we can accommodate your needs. Another request might be for closed decking instead of the standard four-inch openings below the seats. That's also possible.
  • ADA Handicap Access: About 1 in 5 Americans suffers from some type of disability. If you want to add wheelchair ramps, cut-outs for wheelchairs, companion seating, etc., we've created a large number of projects with special access points for disabled spectators.
  • Entrance and Exit Points: these are referred to as "vomitories" from ancient Roman times and address provisions made in a structure for how people exit a facility. Your particular needs for your space can be accommodated.
  • Site Dimensions: as can be expected, not all venues just have an open field where standard aluminum bleachers can be installed. Many times there are different site dimensions, landscapes, elevations, etc. that need to be taken into consideration.
  • Particular Venues: aluminum bleachers are now the preferred seating solution for event seating. The structures are easy to build, extremely durable and can accommodate a large number of spectators. This is why you not only see outdoor bleachers at schools but at any number of locations. Bleachers have been installed at parades, race tracks, golf tournaments, concerts, rodeos, pools, church grounds, festivals, fairgrounds, training facilities, equestrian facilities, and airshows.
  • Spectator Needs: some venues might attract a specific demographic that requires special requirements. For example, senior citizens. Maybe the aluminum bleachers for that venue requires more handrails, ramps or wider foot planks than usual. Again, that is not an issue and can be added.
  • Additions to Existing Structures: hired a new coach and now all of a sudden you have a winning program for a particular sport? That's great news. But it could also mean larger crowds. You don't want those enthusiastic spectators to have a negative experience standing on the sidelines for hours. We can provide layouts for additions to existing bleacher structures.
  • Multi-Use: in some cases, there are different playing fields or venues at the same location. One of the best solutions: transportable or portable bleachers. These bleachers can be towed by a small tractor to different locations at a facility (but not on open highways).
  • Colors: want to instill an extra jolt of team pride at your facility? Many managers don't realize that bleacher planks can be powder-coated with four different colors. Custom colors might also be available. Another option is to add vinyl bleacher seat covers in a variety of different colors.

Here's a key point.

When a facility plans to add aluminum bleachers to any location, those responsible are making a decision that will be in effect for decades. That's why it's important to review all the factors involved in seating arrangements.

The expert staff at The Park and Facilities Catalog will be glad to assist with that planning. In business since 2001, we have provided outdoor bleachers for hundreds of facilities for nearly two decades. We have designers and draftsmen who can create layouts for your specifications.

And believe us when we say, we have seen plenty of requests for custom configurations.

New state-of-the-art, US-based plant expedites shipping

What also helps is that our bleachers for sale are fabricated in the USA in a 72,000 sq. ft. facility. In general, as you can imagine, custom bleachers usually take longer to manufacture than standard bleachers. Be sure to give yourself extra lead time.

The fact that our plant is located in the USA is a big advantage in getting those aluminum bleachers to you on time.

Also keep in mind, that our products are code-compliant and meet International Code Council bleacher requirements.

(Special note: here's another bit of good news. While custom bleachers and large bleacher structures have a few weeks lead time or longer, we do have some smaller bleacher products that can ship in literally 3 business days. That would be for 3 row and 4-row aluminum bleachers. Sometimes your bleacher needs are more than anticipated for a number of reasons - such as that new winning coach. Don't worry. We can quick ship 4-row bleachers fast. That's enough seating for up to 72 people. Delivery times obviously depend on the distance from our plant.)

Installing bleachers is a big endeavor. You want to work with a manufacturer that is flexible. A manufacturer with an expertise in responding to the particular sporting and events needs of its customers.

At The Park and Facilities Catalog, we are the bleacher experts. We're proud of our long history of providing the right aluminum bleachers for any type of facility.
