Are your wooden bleachers starting to look like this?

 

 

Bleachers such as the example shown to the right can be a tremendous liability to have on any grounds. Dry rot can be a problem unseen from the surface and may go unnoticed until someone is investigating why the seat broke during the game.

We travel the country and see the same problem everywhere. The framework that holds the seating is fine but the wood planks are a disaster waiting to happen.

In addition most of our schools and related institutions are trying to cut expenses and cannot afford to purchase complete bleacher replacements. Our aluminum planking can be cut to lengths specified by you, the customer.

 


With our planking you can use your original bleacher framework and simply replace the old wooden seating planks as shown to the left.

This is a great project for any school, church, or related group to do as a solution to not only save money by utilizing the original framework, but also eliminates the danger of sitting on boards that may look safe but are not.

Extruded aluminum planking offers tremendous strength through 2 internal legs for full support. The plank shown here is designed with 1 leg bridging used by some companies. This is fine in few cases, but it is recommended through out the industry to use the 2 leg support system for maximum life span and durability that we only sell unless otherwise requested. (Very important, always understand the value in pricing when purchasing your planking between single leg and double leg plank.)  The ribbed surface is designed to prevent slippage and is comfortable to sit on.

The bridging on the bottom side allows for simple bolt through type mounting to existing bleacher framework. This is done by drilling through your framework into the flat shoulder area of the extrusion on each side of the mounting surface of the plank. Or we also offer complete clip mounting brackets with bolts. ( Most customers supply their own bolts since there are so many different mounting applications. )

The benefits of aluminum planking are:

  • Never needs painting
  • Never rusts
  • Cleans easily
  • Lightweight
  • Easily installation
  • Lasts for generations of use

All plank ends can be capped with our rivet on end caps. This gives your plank a clean look and a safe edge to last for many years. End caps are 6063-T6 alloy aluminum with 204 R1 anodized finish. All end caps will need to be field installed by the customer. Aluminum rivets are furnished with end caps. Seat planks will have the 204 R1 anodized finish to keep your clothing and hands clean while sitting. The foot planks will have the standard mill finish that comes from the extruder. (Please know that it is important to understand this when ordering material as it is less expensive to order the mill finish used for foot traffic. You do not need to use anodized planking for foot or kick area. ) Plank clips can be ordered and are made of 6063-T6 alloy aluminum mill finish. They are 4 way adjustable for ease of mounting in many situations.
