Built to Your Venue

Custom Bleachers & Grandstands

Tell us how many seats you need and what the site looks like, and we will come back with a configuration that fits it — rows, length, guardrails and accessible seating all sized to the venue and to the code that applies to you. No minimum order, quote back within 24 hours.

STEP 1

Tell us the capacity and the site

How many seats, indoor or outdoor, and what the ground is. A photo from where the freight truck would park answers most of the rest.

STEP 2

We size it and price it

We work the rows and length back from your capacity, include guardrails and accessible seating to the requirement that applies, and quote it with freight to your ZIP code.

STEP 3

Approve and we build it

Approve the quote, send a PO or pay by card, and the unit goes into production.

Tell us about your venue

Fill in whatever you know. Anything you are unsure of, pick “Not sure” and we will work it out with you.

Your specifications

Where to send the quote

No obligation. Freight and installation are always quoted separately and approved before you are charged.

How long it takes

Standard configurations

Common row and length combinations are already listed on the site and ready to order. These ship freight and typically arrive in 10 to 21 business days.

Built to your capacity

Around 30 days from approved quote for most units, and longer for larger grandstands or anything with a press box. We will give you the real date for your unit before you commit.

Freight and installation

Both quoted separately from the seating. Bleachers arrive in sections on a freight truck and are assembled and anchored on site. Some manufacturers install directly; where they do not we connect you with an installer.

Start with how many seats you need

Capacity is planned at roughly 18 inches of bench per person, so a 15-foot row seats about ten. Multiply that by your row count and you have your approximate capacity. These are the standard configurations — anything between them can be built.

ConfigurationApproximate capacityTypically used for
2 to 5 rows, 15 ft20 to 50Practice fields, auxiliary courts, visitor side, tip-and-roll portable units
10 rows, 15 ftAround 100Small gymnasiums, middle school fields, secondary venues
10 rows, 21 ftAround 140The common high school configuration for a main field or court
10 to 14 rows, 27 ft180 to 250Main competition venues and varsity home side
Multiple unitsAny figureLarger venues are built from several units set side by side rather than one long run

Give us the capacity you need rather than the configuration. We will work the rows and length back from it and tell you whether one unit or several is the better buy.

Guardrails and accessible seating

Two things get specified alongside the seating itself, and both are far cheaper to include in the original quote than to add afterwards.

Guardrails. Rails along the back and open ends of the seating deck. Whether yours needs them depends on the height of the unit and the code that applies where you are.

ADA accessible seating. Wheelchair spaces with a companion seat beside each one. The number required scales with the total capacity of the stand.

You do not need to work either of these out yourself. Tell us the capacity, the configuration and the state you are in on the form, and the manufacturer sizes both to the requirement that applies to your venue.

Permanent, portable, or elevated

Permanent, ground level. Anchored to a pad and left there. The standard for a home side or a gymnasium. Lowest cost per seat and nothing to store.

Portable and tip-and-roll. Smaller units on wheels that tip up and roll to a wall or storage. Useful where the space is shared, where seating follows the season from one field to another, or where a gym floor has to be cleared for other programming. Practical up to about five rows.

Elevated with understructure. The seating deck is raised on a frame so sight lines clear a fence, a track or a crowd standing at the rail. Required on larger stands and anywhere the first row needs to see over something. Adds cost and needs a proper foundation.

If you are not certain which you need, describe the venue and how often the seating has to move. That usually settles it.

What your site needs to be ready

Bleachers arrive on a freight truck in sections and get assembled on site. What you have waiting for them matters.

  • A level, compacted surface. Concrete is the usual answer. Asphalt works for many units. Grass or gravel generally does not, and an unlevel base shows up as a unit that will not square.
  • An existing pad saves real money. Measure it and tell us the dimensions — we will size the unit to it rather than quoting something that will not fit.
  • Truck access. A loaded freight truck needs to get close to where the unit goes. Tell us if the approach is tight, soft, or through a gate.
  • Anchoring. Permanent units bolt down. The fasteners depend on whether you are going into concrete, asphalt or a new footing.

A photo of the site from where the truck would park answers most of this faster than a description.

Common questions

Can you build a size that is not listed?

Yes. Row count, length and capacity can all be built to what the venue needs. Tell us the capacity and the space you have and we will come back with a configuration that fits.

Is there a minimum order?

No minimum. A single two-row portable unit is a quote we will write.

How long does it take?

Standard configurations listed on the site ship freight and typically arrive in 10 to 21 business days. Anything built to your capacity runs around 30 days from approved quote, and larger grandstands can run longer. We will give you the real date for your specific unit before you commit, not a guess.

Do we need guardrails?

It depends on the height of the unit and the code where you are. You do not need to figure it out — tell us the configuration and your state on the form and the manufacturer specifies the rails to match.

How much accessible seating do we need?

It scales with the total capacity of the stand, and each wheelchair space needs a companion seat beside it. Give us the capacity you are planning and the manufacturer sizes the accessible seating into the quote.

Can we get a press box?

Yes, on elevated units. Tell us on the form and we will quote it with the stand rather than as a separate project, which is almost always cheaper.

Do you handle installation?

Bleachers are assembled on site and anchored down, and on anything above a small portable unit that is work for a crew. Some manufacturers install directly. Where they do not, we connect you with an installer who does this work. Installation is quoted separately from the seating, the same as freight.

Do you accept school purchase orders?

Yes. Tell us on the form that you will be paying by PO and we will build the quote so your business office can process it. Bleachers are frequently a bond or capital purchase, and we can format the quote for that process.
