How To Buy Bleachers
How Much Do Bleachers Cost?
Aluminum bleachers normally cost anywhere from $100 a seat to $500 a seat. For larger stadiums and grandstands, they could cost upwards of $1000 a seat. Actual estimates can begin only after you speak with on of our sales professionals.
When considering to buy bleachers, each situation is different. The size and design of your specific aluminum bleachers will change when you consider where and how these bleachers will be used. Are you building bleachers for a football stadium or baseball stadium? Are your potential bleachers on a hill or on a graded surface? Do you want space underneath your bleachers to house a concessions stand? Do you want a press box at the top of your bleachers? All these questions can help us design your perfect bleachers!
How To Buy Bleachers
When buying bleachers, there are a few commonly used terms to specify different parts and types of bleachers.
Aluminum foot planks are normally 2’x10’ mill finished planks. When there is one stretched along a set of bleachers, that’s normally called a “Single Foot Plank.” When there are two stretched along a set of bleachers, those are called “Double Foot Planks.”
The “Riser Plank” is a term used to describe aluminum plank that is mounted vertically under the seat behind your feet. “Rise” is the vertical measure from the top of the bleacher seat to the top of the bleacher seat in the next row. “Run” is the horizontal measure from the front of a bleacher seat to the front of the bleachers seat in the next row.
There are two specific types of grandstands, I-Beam Structures and Angle Framed Custom Bleachers
I-Beam Structures
At GT Grandstands we specialize in i-beam construction. We consider I-Beam grandstands a perfect, flexible design option for hills or uneven sites. The I-Beam bleachers allow for concessions/restrooms and other revenue generating areas underneath the bleachers. We galvanize all our steel structures for years of maintenance free use of the finish.
Angle Frame Custom Bleachers
For level sites, the angle frame grandstand is a great solution. We attach angle frame bleachers to a concrete foundation or install it with earth anchors. We can customize these bleachers to meet most capacity needs and we can build them with aluminum frames or galvanized steel frames.
