sports bleachers Several tips you should know when ordering Sports Bleachers

Sure, it's hard to believe (especially when snow is falling in some states), but this is the time of year for ordering new Sports Bleachers.

Because in a few months, those little league and softball fields will fill with players and spectators. Experts are reporting record numbers of baseball players stepping up to the plate. That also means a record number of moms, dad, brothers, sisters, grandparents, cousins and friends who need spectator seating.

How we provide the highest-quality aluminum bleachers

We are the experts when it comes to sports bleachers. (One of our divisions has manufactured aluminum bleachers for more than 25 years).

We built a new state-of-the-art facility in Florida that is more than 70,000 square feet in size.

This exemplifies our commitment to be the best when it comes to fabricating the highest quality sports bleachers of all sizes and styles. Our bleachers are International Code Council compliant and our workers have CWB, AWS and LA Certified Fabricator Certifications.

You will find our top-grade sports bleachers at numerous ball fields, parks, high schools, universities, rodeos, state fairs and other venues across the United States. Not only in America but other countries as well. (We'll be glad to supply you with some of our big-name clients).

Choose from 3, 4, 5, 10, 15 row and larger outdoor bleacher products. We also offer popular Elevated sports bleachers that provide great sightlines of the field. And if you are looking for larger grandstands, we build them for schools all over the country. Just give us a call.

There are other options in our selection of aluminum bleachers for sale. For example, facility managers can purchase Portable Bleachers that allow them to tow their stands to different fields for different events. We provide transport kits as well.

We also offer the small Tip and Roll Bleachers. This seating can be easily rolled by hand to different locations.

When it comes to quality, we use the best, anodized aluminum planks with a non-slip rating and the right long-lasting hardware.

So now that you know you can trust us as a source for your sports bleachers, here are some tips about ordering for the upcoming busy season.

Five Tips on ordering Sports Bleachers for the summer

No. 1 - this is the Secret (or at least a bit of helpful advice for a successful season).

Even if you are not prepared for delivery or to install your new outdoor bleachers, say for a softball field, it's wise to Order Them NOW. This way the bleachers can be fabricated and stored, ready to go to meet your time frame for shipment, arrival, and installation.

It's smart to get the order in early. Then can you feel better about the installation schedule. In addition, weather is weather, so you want to make sure you have those bleachers ready to arrive and built when the moment is right. You also want to have some leeway for inclement weather.

No. 2 - be alert of lead times for Custom Bleachers. There might be special circumstances where your requirements for sports bleachers call for something more sophisticated than our standard bleacher products.

Perhaps your site dimensions are special. Or you want to add ADA seating and ramps. Maybe you want to include a platform for videotaping games. Perhaps the row length exceeds the standard length of 27 feet. Your town might have specific building code requirements that require certain changes.

Custom bleachers are not a problem. We manufacture unique bleacher products all the time.

But be aware, these projects take longer to process. Since every Custom Bleacher project is different, we cannot specify a general lead time for these projects. It varies depending on the order.

Also, drawings will need to be engineered and created. The best advice we can give you - order early or at least call us to get the ball rolling with our custom layouts. (Which are created by our expert staff at NO charge.)

No. 3 - lead times for Standard Products are fairly standard. Although as we said, it's always smart to get started early during the busy summer season. For large sports bleachers 5-row and above, figure two weeks lead times. For larger bleachers, for example, 10 and 15 row, figure three to four weeks lead time. Grandstands will take much longer.

No. 4 - ask about Quick Ship products. Conversely, while some aluminum bleachers take longer to manufacture, we do have a selection of smaller bleachers that can be shipped very fast, much faster than standard industry time frames.

Our standard 3 and 4-row units can be shipped from the plant in as little as 3 days. (That does not include transit time which depends on where the bleachers are being shipped to). Still, bleachers out the door in three days! Fantastic.

Standard bleachers will ship unassembled and sent via LTL carrier. The parts are shipped in bundles.

No. 5 - factor in Assembly Times. Since the bleachers are shipped unassembled, you also need to be sure to arrange for someone to put the bleachers together once you get them. Small bleachers are easy. Larger bleacher projects do require extensive construction. Don't fret. We have our own expert and experienced installers that can come to your site and knock the project out quickly.

But again, if you think you might need that service, order early so the crew's calendar can be blocked out. Otherwise, check with local contractors. Summer will be a busy time for them so you want to be sure to lock them into your schedule.

Don't worry. As we said, we are the experts when it comes to bleachers.

Simply pick up the phone and call us. Even if you don't have all the details nailed down. We can start the process and give you a better estimate on time frames.

As you know, that first pitch of the season is going to come at you fast. Ordering your new sports bleachers is one item on your to-do list you want to cross off early.
