Bleacher Seats Maximise The Capacity Of Sports Halls

We’ve all seen them. And many of us will probably have sat on them! Tiered, horizontal rows of fixed benches – or bleachers – with platforms for feet and accessible by stairways, mainly found at sports venues.

Primarily, bleacher seating’s worldwide popularity can be attributed to it being such a cost-effective option when seating big crowds. With individual bleacher seat spaces and sizes being undefined, more spectators – people of all shapes and sizes – can be accommodated, including children, who would normally require their own seats.

Customised Gym Bleachers

Because bleachers get their name from being wooden benches bleached by the sun, it’s natural to assume that telescopic bleachers are most commonly found at outdoor venues; but plenty of indoor venues have them, too.

Gymnasium bleachers are most commonly found in schools and colleges, as they are a flexible and cost-effective choice, suitable for seating large numbers of pupils of varying ages. They can be customised in team colours and have added lettering and a school or club logo, injecting a little extra motivation to any competitive event. Or, if you prefer you can simply go for a natural look: polished pine, for example.

Robust Basketball Bleachers

Bleachers are proven to be the ideal choice at venues holding highly charged events – crunch matches between baseball, basketball or ice hockey teams! – where crowds can become increasingly lively during a game, suddenly jumping to their feet, before sitting again, only to rise once more in unison at a key moment in a captivating game. Perhaps the shoulder-to-shoulder shared bench seating format (which allows for greater overall seating capacity over separate chairs) even augments the wonderful sense of collective audience participation?

And it’s not just during league and cup competition games that bleachers are used. ‘Soccer moms, ‘Basketball dads’… they number in their thousands all over the world, spending time each week religiously attending their child’s practice sessions, sometimes watching on proudly from the stands for hours. That makes it even more important that bastkeball bleachers are built for comfort, whilst simultaneously being strong, robust and made to last.

Look After The Supporters

Who wants to part with a small fortune for high-demand sporting fixture tickets, only to be allocated a hard and shabby old bleacher seat when the much-anticipated match day finally arrives? The good news for sports fans is that contemporary bleachers are designed to be comfortable as well as strong and stable. Bleacher seats can even come with backrests, padding and armrests for venues which offer an extra special experience. So even if the match goes to extra time, spectators’ well-being will be taken care of and they’ll be keen to return for the next fixture.
