The Top 4 things to Consider When Buying Aluminum Bleachers

09/07/2019 at 5:00am EDT

Team benches or bleachers are used for providing seating space for both spectators and players. They are actually a common site in most high school and college events. Without these benches, reserve players and spectators would have to remain standing throughout an entire match. Such an environment would discourage fans from showing up during events. Although team benches are made from different materials are preferred by majority of the teams. This is because they don’t rust like other metals when they are exposed to moisture. On the other hand, shopping for these benches can be a daunting task, especially if you are buying them for the first time. Here is a list of things that you should factor into when looking to buyaluminum bleachers.

1. Design

Field bleachers come in various designs. Some are designed to have three rows while others come with as many as 15 rows. It’s actually the number of rows that determines the number of people that a bleacher can accommodate at ago. Before you buy team bleachers, you should first do the math on the number of people that are likely to grace the event that you will be having. This helps in ensuring that you don’t buy giant bleachers when there are just a few people. If you anticipate that the event will attract huge crowds, it’s advisable you opt for bleachers with multiple rows because they are a bit easier to install than when there are too many of them.

2. Method of Installation

Bleachers are also categorized by their method of installation. Some are installed permanently in the field while others are designed to be portable. Your choice of bleachers should be guided by whether the field you will be using is specifically reserved for events you intend to hold or it’s also used for other purposes. For instance, if the field doubles as a wedding event venue or crusades, you should narrow down to portable bleachers. Such bleachers can be towed away using a tractor to create more space for other events. But if the field that you have is solely reserved for a particular sport such as baseball or football, it’s advisable you buy bleachers that are installed permanently. The advantage of investing in such bleachers is that they are installed once and for all.

3. Available Space

The size of available space plays an important role in determining the number of bleachers that you can buy. In fact, it’s recommended that you first measure the dimensions of your field before making your order. This helps in guaranteeing that you don’t buy bleachers that are too large to fit in your field. Even if you are buying bleachers that come with a sitting capacity of just three rows, you can be sure you will not buy excess benches.

4. Price

While bleachers come in handy when you want to accommodate fans during field events, you can only buy what’s within your means. If you want one bleacher to accommodate many people, you should be prepared to pay a premium price. But if you are on a low budget, you can opt for a few bleachers with minimum number of rows and plan to add more in future. The good thing is that you can compare the prices of different sellers. Some of them will not even charge you for the labor that’s involved during installation. Alternatively, you can buy second hand bleachers that are still in good condition. You can source for such bleachers from colleges in your neighborhood that are planning to replace theirs in the near future.
