While sturdy aluminum bleachers are essential when preparing seating for a sporting venue or another sizeable public gathering space, you’ll also require some added aluminum bleacher platforms. These platforms can provide an extra base for the bleachers and work as observation points for other spaces around your venue. A platform can also work as a handicapped seating space. REDD Team can help you plan aluminum bleacher platforms for your spot today.
Anodized Aluminum Is Necessary
The first part of getting a platform up and running involves looking at the metal used for the space. You’ll require something that can handle the anticipated weight while being easy to maintain and care for.
At REDD Team, we use anodized aluminum for our bleacher platforms. Aluminum is already an ideal metal because it can handle more weight while also resisting stress. But the anodized surface also makes the aluminum easy to clean between events.
The oxide coating on anodized aluminum protects the surface, creating a consistent texture and color. The body resists dents and scratches, which is necessary for everyone who goes up and down your bleachers.
The smooth surface also improves how well you can clean up the surface after an event. Considering how many people can bring various foods and other items to an event, you’ll need something easy to clean. REDD Team has you covered with this top-quality material.
Get Enough Weight Support
The aluminum body of your platform can handle more weight than most other metals and surfaces. This point is especially critical when considering how many wheelchairs may go on your platform at any moment.
Additional support beams can work underneath your platform to provide enough weight support. We recommend getting enough so that your ramp can handle several times the anticipated weight you might expect it to take in during an event. REDD Team can plan the right beams and supports for your platform based on its anticipated weight load and the space’s general size.
How Big Should the Platform Be?
You can tell us at REDD Team how big you want your aluminum platform to be. The general idea is to look at your local space and get a platform as long as the bleacher benches themselves. You can get them shorter, especially since your area might have length restrictions, but this rule of thumb should work well.
The platform can be deeper than the bleacher benches in terms of depth. People in the back area won’t have as much of a view of the playing area or another spot as the people in the front do, but you can aim to make it as deep as possible while working within whatever space constraints you have.
Be sure to prepare a good aluminum platform before your next big event. Contact us at REDD Team for details on how our aluminum bleacher platforms can work for your space.
